APplying for your ARC card
Making a Reservation
For more efficient service, it is required to make an appointment on the Immigration Office's website: http://www.hikorea.go.kr.
To better understand how to make an online reservation, we have prepared a video below to show you what the process looks like. The current website may vary slightly from the video, however. Further, this video shows you how to login if you already have an ARC card and are a "member". For new applications, please choose "non-member" and choose "passport" as your method of identification.
You can only make a reservation after entering Korea.
Tip: Please use Internet Explorer to make an appointment.
Fingerprint Scanning
During your appointment, you will also be given a receipt to have your fingerprints scanned.
You will need to re-visit the Immigration Office on that date with your receipt and passport. Since this date is determined for you from your first appointment, there you do not need to make another reservation.
