Gyeongju 2 days 1 night—follow this route and you can’t go wrong. Gyeongju is a city where “UNESCO-level history” and “trendy, aesthetic streets” coexist, so one day isn’t quite enough.
The itinerary I recommend most often to my international clients is built around these four key spots.

• Mountain-side UNESCO duo: Bulguksa Temple + Seokguram Grotto
• Downtown essentials: Daereungwon Tomb Complex + Hwangridan-gil

Bulguksa and Seokguram are on the Tohamsan side (east), so you’ll spend time getting there, while Daereungwon and Hwangridan-gil are walkable and right next to each other in the city center. If you split it into “one day in the mountains, one day downtown,” the route becomes really clean and efficient. (VISITKOREA – Imagine Your Korea)

Tips Especially Useful for International Visitors

Temple Etiquette: This Is All You Need

• It’s explained that it’s polite to remove your shoes when entering buildings such as the main hall. (Visit Seoul)

1) What is a foreign national’s change of residence report? (Why you “must” do it when your address changes)

If a registered foreign national who has completed Alien Registration moves, they must report their new address within the prescribed deadline. This is not a simple “change of mailing address”; it’s closer to a statutory reporting obligation that is reflected in the immigration stay management (visa/stay permit) system. (Easy Law)

---

2) Reporting deadline: “Within 15 days from the move-in date” (F-4: note 14 days)

✅ Registered foreign nationals (ARC holders)

• In principle, you must report within 15 days from the move-in date (the day you actually moved into the new home). (Easy Law)

✅ Overseas Koreans (F-4), etc. (Domestic Residence Report filers)

• Based on local government notices and immigration guidance materials, there are cases where it is separately 안내ed as within 14 days. (Yeongdeungpo City)

Field tip: If you look at online/institutional materials, you’ll see some posts that say “14 days” mixed in (sometimes because old guidance remains). For the current 기준, set your baseline as ‘Registered foreign national = 15 days,’ and if you’re F-4 (residence), it’s safer to move more tightly with 14 days. (Easy Law)

---

3) Three ways to report: Online (HiKorea) / Community Service Center·District Office / Immigration

Use the table below to choose the “fastest route for your situation” first.

Method	Recommended for	Processing speed	Pros	Notes
HiKorea online report	Within the deadline (within 15 days) + able to prepare documents	Typically within 3 days (excluding weekends/holidays) (Guro City Hall)	Can be done at home, no waiting	Online not possible after the deadline (15 days) (Guro City Hall)
Visit a community center/district office	When you want the simplest/fastest “same-day processing”	Usually immediate (on-site)	No reservation battle, easier to reflect same-day	If documents are incomplete, you must revisit
Visit an Immigration Office/Foreigner Office	When online is blocked (deadline passed), or special cases	Depends on the case	Possible to handle jurisdiction decisions/additional requests	For stay-related civil services, guidance generally indicates a visit-by-appointment system, so check in advance (Easy Law)

---

4) Required documents: “ID + application form + proof of residence” are key

Common essentials (almost all cases)

• Alien Registration Card (ARC) (Easy Law)
• Report of Change of Residence (Integrated Application/Report Form, Annex Form No. 34) (Easy Law)
• Proof of residence (contract/receipt/confirmation letter, etc.) (Easy Law)

Your passport may be requested depending on the situation (especially when visiting Immigration). The most dangerous thought is “I probably don’t need it,” so if possible, it’s safest to bring your passport too. (Sungkyunkwan Language Institute)

Examples of proof of residence by case (commonly used combinations)

Housing type	Examples of documents typically accepted
Lease in my name	Lease contract (in my name) (Yeongdeungpo City)
Lease not in my name (spouse/friend/company)	Confirmation of Accommodation Provision (signature/seal) + contract + (if required) copy of the contract holder’s ID + documents proving the relationship (Yeongdeungpo City)
Dormitory	Dorm residence confirmation (issued by school/institution) (Sungkyunkwan Language Institute)
Goshiwon / one-room-tel	Payment receipts, move-in confirmation documents, etc.—materials that prove “actual residence” (Yeongdeungpo City)
Free stay (living without paying rent)	Confirmation of Free Residence, etc. (Gyeongju City Hall)

✅ Point: The 담당자 is trying to confirm “you actually live at this address,” so if your contract/confirmation clearly shows the address (road name), move-in/start date, and the provider’s signature, your success rate goes way up. (Yeongdeungpo City)

---

5) Method A: HiKorea online report (most recommended route)

It is only possible within the deadline (15 days), and if you miss it, you’ll be blocked online. (Guro City Hall)

The online procedure in Guro District’s guidance is the most detailed, so I’ll整理 it exactly as-is.

Online reporting steps (summary)

1. Sign up for HiKorea
2. e-Civil Service → select Report Change of Residence / Report Transfer of Place of Residence
3. Identity verification (joint/authorized certificate, etc.)
4. Enter your new address (road name/lot number) → submit
5. Check the processing result in My Page (if there’s a request for supplementation, supplement and re-apply) (Guro City Hall)

Online processing time

• There is guidance stating online reports are processed within 3 days (excluding Sat/Sun/holidays). (Guro City Hall)

One “unexpected pitfall” of online reporting

• If you report online, the new address may not be written on the back of your registration card, and guidance says that if you want it printed, you need to request a visit to Immigration. (Guro City Hall)
• However, there is also an explanation that if you have a mobile Alien Registration Card, recording the change via e-civil service can substitute for “card notation.” (Easy Law)

---

6) Method B: Report in person at a community center/district office (when aiming for same-day processing)

As in Yeongdeungpo District’s guidance, you can handle it at the district office or community service center with jurisdiction over your new address. (Yeongdeungpo City)

What to bring (in-person visit)

• Foreign national change-of-residence report form (integrated application form)
• Alien Registration Card (or Residence Card)
• Proof of residence documents (contract/accommodation confirmation/receipts, etc.) (Yeongdeungpo City)

Fee

• Based on local government civil service manuals, it is commonly 안내ed as no fee. (Gyeongju City Hall)

---

7) Method C: Visit an Immigration/Foreigner Office (online unavailable/deadline passed/special cases)

• If you exceed the online deadline (15 days) and see “online reporting unavailable,” you may need to visit the Immigration Office (or branch office) with jurisdiction over your new place of residence as directed. (Guro City Hall)
• Since stay-related civil services are generally 안내ed as being under a visit-by-appointment system, it’s safest to check the jurisdiction’s 운영 (whether 예약 is required) before you go. (Ministry of Justice)

---

8) Top 8 common mistakes (this is why people most often have to go back)

1) Mistake: calculating based on “the date you signed the contract”

The deadline is not based on the document 작성일, but in principle the date you moved in (actually moved). In practice, the contract start date/move-in date can also be used as evidence, so if it’s ambiguous, calculate based on the earlier date. (Easy Law)

2) Mistake: trying online after 15 days and getting blocked

It is explicitly stated that online reporting is not possible after 15 days. If you’re late, switch to an offline route (Immigration, etc.) immediately to avoid wasting time. (Guro City Hall)

3) Mistake: assuming your address changes automatically when your Korean spouse files a move-in report

Immigration guidance materials include cases where someone “thought their address had changed because their Korean spouse filed a move-in report, only to check later.” Foreign nationals must file a separate change-of-residence report.

4) Missing signature/seal on the ‘Confirmation of Accommodation Provision’

When the home is in someone else’s name (spouse/friend/company), requests for a signature or seal on the accommodation confirmation are very common. If missing, it’s the #1 reason for a supplementation request. (Yeongdeungpo City)

5) Mistake: bringing only weak “proof of residence” documents

The more it’s a goshiwon/short-term stay, the more you may need materials that prove actual residence—such as receipts, business registration information, and documents showing the period of stay. (Yeongdeungpo City)

6) Mistake: missing a ‘request for supplementation’ after applying online

Online reporting doesn’t end at submission—you must check My Page for supplementation requests (guidance says to re-apply after supplementing what’s requested). (Guro City Hall)

7) Mistake: double-reporting because you don’t know how to change your family’s (accompanying F-3) address at once

If you are registered as the head of household, there is guidance that you can file a combined report for yourself + accompanying family. (Guro City Hall)

8) Mistake: thinking “if it’s online, the address on the back of the card changes automatically too”

With an online report, the notation on the back of the registration card may be omitted, and it states that if you want it printed, you need to request a visit to Immigration. (Guro City Hall)

---

9) What happens if you don’t report? (Fines/penalties)

• Easy Law (government-provided 생활법령정보) 안내s that if you do not report a change of residence, you may be subject to a fine of up to 1,000,000 KRW. (Easy Law)
• Immigration guidance materials also 안내 the possibility of sanctions such as up to a 1,000,000 KRW misdemeanor fine or up to a 2,000,000 KRW administrative fine, depending on the case.

Conclusion: “I’ll handle it all at once later” is high-risk. Moving happens once, but reporting your residence is a ‘deadline game’—the moment you postpone, costs/time can explode.

---

10) 1-minute checklist (copy & paste)

• Check whether you are within 15 days of the move-in date (residence/F-4: note 14 days) (Easy Law)
• Prepare your Alien Registration Card (ARC) (Yeongdeungpo City)
• Check the integrated application form (Annex Form No. 34) (Gangnam City Hall)
• Prepare proof of residence documents such as the contract/accommodation confirmation/receipts (Yeongdeungpo City)
• If online, check My Page for supplementation requests (Guro City Hall)
• If you need the address printed on the back of the card, consider whether an Immigration visit is necessary (Guro City Hall)

---

FAQ (Foreign national residence)

Q1. Within how many days do foreign nationals have to report an address change?

For registered foreign nationals, the general guidance is to report within 15 days from the move-in date. (Easy Law)
However, for F-4 (Overseas Koreans) and other residence-report filers, it may be 안내ed as 14 days, so be careful. (Yeongdeungpo City)

Q2. Can I change my address online via HiKorea?

Yes. Online reporting is available, and the processing time is 안내ed as within 3 days (excluding weekends/holidays). (Guro City Hall)
However, online reporting is not available after 15 days, so in that case you may need to visit the Immigration office with jurisdiction. (Guro City Hall)

Q3. Can I do it at a community service center too?

Yes. Local governments 안내 that you can file the report at the district office or dong (neighborhood) community service center with jurisdiction over your new address. (Yeongdeungpo City)

Q4. Which required documents are the most important?

There are three 핵심 items: (1) Alien Registration Card (2) Integrated Application Form (Annex Form No. 34) (3) Proof of residence documents (contract/accommodation confirmation/receipts, etc.) (Easy Law)

Q5. If my spouse (Korean) filed a move-in report, does mine change automatically?

Official guidance materials introduce cases where people mistakenly assume it’s done automatically. Foreign nationals must separately file a change-of-residence report.

Q6. If I report online, does the address on the back of my Alien Registration Card (card) change automatically too?

With online reporting, the back-of-card notation may be omitted, and guidance says that if you want it printed, you need to request a visit to Immigration. (Guro City Hall)
Also, there is an explanation that mobile Alien Registration Card holders can substitute this by recording the change via e-civil service. (Easy Law)

A 1-night, 2-day trip to Gangneung has the lowest chance of disappointment when you stick to the “Ocean (Gyeongpo · Anmok) + Coffee + Traditional Market Eats” combo. In particular, if you properly bundle just these three—Anmok Beach Coffee Street (ocean-view cafes), Gyeongpodae Pavilion · Gyeongpoho Lagoon (walk/bike), and Jungang Market (local eats/night-market route)—your satisfaction level jumps. The itinerary below is the same “no-getting-lost route” I use as-is when I’m showing around foreign friends (living in Korea).

At a Glance: Recommended 1-Night, 2-Day Gangneung Itinerary

Key point: If you plan it as “Anmok (cafes) around sunset + the market (food) at night,” you get both the vibe and the flavor.

Day 1 (Ocean · Walk · Coffee · Market)

• Arrive in the afternoon → Jungang Market (snacks/dinner)
• Sunset time → Anmok Beach Coffee Street ocean-view cafe
• If you have extra time → Gyeongpoho Lakeside Trail (walk or bike around dusk)

Day 2 (Morning scenery + wrap up with shopping)

• Morning → Gyeongpodae · Gyeongpoho (calm scenery)
• Before lunch → Revisit Jungang Market/Seongnam Market (souvenirs · packed-to-go foods)
• Before you leave → One last cup of coffee at Anmok Beach

---

Day 1: Jungang Market → Gyeongpoho (optional) → Anmok Beach Coffee Street → (If there’s a night market) Wolhwa Street

1) Why you should hit Jungang Market before check-in

Gangneung Jungang Market sits in the “dead center” of downtown, and the market itself is large, making it perfect for taking care of snacks → a full meal → to-go packing all in one go.

• Location: 21 Geumseong-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province (Seongnam-dong) (Gangneung City Hall)
• Layout (summary): B1 (fish market) / 1F (food, dried seafood, general goods, etc.) / 2F (restaurant area) (Gangneung City Hall)

In particular, the official info says the underground fish market is “one of the largest in Yeongdong,” and it also notes that the 2nd floor has restaurants serving spicy fish stew, samsugi fish soup, pollock roe soup, and more. (If you love seafood, your satisfaction skyrockets here.) (Gangneung City Hall)

Jungang Market parking (by car) — this part really matters

On weekends in Gangneung, parking is half the itinerary. The official parking guidance for Jungang Market is summarized like this. (Gangneung City Hall)

• Geumseong-ro curbside parking (paid)
• Jungang Market public parking lot: 62 spaces (paid)
• Nearby: Wolhwa Street curbside / Seongnaedong Plaza / Namdaecheon riverside / Jungang-dong Embankment Road (free sections marked), etc. (Gangneung City Hall)

Tip: Markets are not the kind of place where you can “just pop in and leave.” Parking somewhere with quick turnover—like the Namdaecheon riverside—and walking over feels far less stressful (especially in peak season).

---

2) Gyeongpodae · Gyeongpoho: Gangneung’s “scenery” spot

Gyeongpodae and Gyeongpoho are Gangneung’s 대표 natural landscape, introduced as a “scenic site” on the National Heritage Portal.

• Name: Gangneung Gyeongpodae Pavilion and Gyeongpoho Lagoon
• Category: Natural Heritage / Scenic Site
• Date designated: 2013.12.30
• Location: 94 Jeodong, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do (CULTURAL HERITAGE ADMINISTRATION)

Gyeongpoho Lakeside Trail (walk/bike): just the essentials

According to a Korea Tourism Organization (Visit Korea) travel feature, the Gyeongpoho Lakeside Trail is about 4.3 km and is mostly flat, making it comfortable for both walking and biking. (Visit Korea)

• If you bike “just one loop,” it takes 15–20 minutes
• If you take photos and look around slowly: 1 hour 30 minutes–2 hours (Visit Korea)
• It’s listed as open year-round (daily), with no admission fee. (Visit Korea)

Best timing (in practice):

• On Day 1, go around dusk (around sunset) and the lake’s colors look unreal.
• On Day 2, early morning means fewer people and better photos.

---

3) Anmok Beach Coffee Street: “If you’re in Gangneung, coffee is here”

Anmok Beach Coffee Street isn’t just a place with lots of cafes—according to the Korea Tourism Organization’s “Open Tourist Destination” info,

• Selected as an Open Tourist Destination in 2020
• Accessible facilities such as disabled parking/restrooms, barrier-free paths, and tactile/voice guidance boards were installed (Visit Korea)
  And it also summarizes the story that it has been known as a coffee hotspot since the early 1980s, and after the 1990s, as roasting culture took root, more coffee shops emerged. (Visit Korea)
• Address: 20-1 Changhae-ro 14beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province (Visit Korea)

Three criteria for “choosing a cafe” in Anmok

1. If you’re going for sunset/night views, pick a place with a rooftop or plenty of window seats
2. If it’s a busy weekend, choose a large venue with fast turnover (ordering/pickup flow)
3. If photos are the goal, go for a spot with a straight-on ocean view + a location that gives you sculptures/street depth in the frame

Tip: You can go to Anmok just for cafes, but even a 10-minute beach walk with your coffee completes that “I’m in Gangneung” feeling.

---

4) (If it’s in season) Be sure to check Wolhwa Street Night Market

The area that comes alive at night near Jungang Market and Seongnam Market is Wolhwa Street.
Gangneung City’s notice (No. 2026-21) has been posted, and the search info for that notice lists the 2026 Wolhwa Street Night Market operating period as 2026.5.1–10.31 (planned), Fridays and Saturdays (around 55 times total, planned). (Gangneung City Hall)

Note: Night markets can change depending on weather (rain, etc.) and event schedules. To be safe, check “Gangneung City notices” or on-site guidance once the day before you leave.

---

Day 2: Morning walk at Gyeongpodae · Gyeongpoho → market packing & shopping → wrap up with Anmok coffee

1) Morning at Gyeongpo is “Gangneung without the crowds”

On Day 2, you’ll be more than satisfied even if you use the Gyeongpoho Lakeside Trail only “briefly.”

• Even with just a 30–60 minute walk, you can capture “lake + pine trees + the seaside city of Gangneung” in a single shot. (Visit Korea)

2) Jungang Market/Seongnam Market to-go shopping route

Seongnam Market is attached to Jungang Market, so the right move is to see them “as one bundle.”
The Seongnam Market guide explicitly lists items sold such as ox head soup and rice, dakgangjeong (sweet crispy fried chicken), an oil mill, assorted fried foods, agricultural/seafood/livestock products, and general goods. (Gangneung City Hall)
Its introduction also includes the phrase night market operation (Fri · Sat 19:00–22:00). (Gangneung City Hall)
(However, the actual night-market format may be linked to / vary with Wolhwa Street operations, so follow on-site guidance.)

---

Transportation Tips: Public Transit (especially for foreigners)

Gangneung city bus fares/transfers (practical info)

According to the Gangneung Bus Information System,

• Regular (adult) cash 1,700 KRW / card 1,530 KRW
• Up to 2 free transfers within 1 hour after getting off
• Accepted transit cards include T-money, Cashbee, etc. (Bus Information System)

Bus route hint for getting to Anmok Beach (Anmok Coffee Street)

In the Gangneung Bus Information System route search results, routes that terminate at or pass by Anmok Coffee Street (e.g., 300-1 (marked as Gangneung Station), 302-1, 314-1, 225-1, etc.) appear. (Bus Information System)
→ Since actual timetables and real-time arrivals can vary, checking “real-time search in the Bus Information System” on the day is the most accurate.

Getting to the Gyeongpo area (public transit)

In a Korea Tourism Organization (Visit Korea) travel feature, it suggests travel examples like:

• From Gangneung Station bus stop, take bus 202-1 → get off at Gyeongpo Beach
• From the Gangneung Intercity/Express Bus Terminal stop, take bus 202 → get off at Gyeongpo Beach
  (Visit Korea)

7 “Small Details” That Upgrade Your Trip Quality

1. Split roles: sunset at Anmok, quiet scenery at Gyeongpoho
2. Use the market not just for “one meal,” but for snacks/to-go packing/souvenirs for higher satisfaction
3. At the coffee street, instead of “two cafes,” go longer at one place (seat/view/walk)
4. If you hate parking stress, for the Day 1 market the answer is a large parking lot + walking (Gangneung City Hall)
5. Biking isn’t about saving time—it’s content (photos + experience) (Visit Korea)
6. If you’re traveling with foreigners, card acceptance can differ by stall at the market, so prepare small cash
7. In winter or on windy days, use an ocean-view cafe like an “indoor observatory”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) — 1 Night, 2 Days in Gangneung

Q1. With 1 night and 2 days in Gangneung, can I see Anmok Beach, Gyeongpodae, and Jungang Market all?

Yes. Since all three are easy to move between within central Gangneung, if you split it into Day 1: market + Anmok, and Day 2: Gyeongpo (lagoon/Gyeongpodae), you can get around at a relaxed pace.

Q2. Why is Anmok Beach Coffee Street so famous?

According to the Korea Tourism Organization’s Open Tourist Destination introduction, Anmok has been known as a coffee hotspot since the 1980s, and as coffee culture spread, more cafes opened. It was also selected as an Open Tourist Destination in 2020, so convenience facilities such as barrier-free paths have been improved. (Visit Korea)

Q3. How long does the Gyeongpoho Lakeside Trail take?

Based on a Korea Tourism Organization travel feature, the trail is about 4.3 km. It’s guided as around 15–20 minutes by bike, or 1 hour 30 minutes–2 hours on foot. (Visit Korea)

Q4. Where is the best place to park for Jungang Market?

Gangneung City Hall’s guidance lists options such as the Jungang Market public parking lot (62 spaces), Geumseong-ro curbside parking, Wolhwa Street curbside parking, Seongnaedong Plaza, Namdaecheon riverside, and Jungang-dong Embankment Road. On weekends, consider places with many spaces—like the Namdaecheon riverside—first. (Gangneung City Hall)

Q5. When does the Wolhwa Street Night Market open?

The search info for Gangneung City’s notice (No. 2026-21) shows 2026.5.1–10.31 (planned), operating on Fridays and Saturdays (planned). Since it may change depending on events/weather, checking before departure is recommended. (Gangneung City Hall)

Conclusion First: If You Don’t Get These “3 Dates” Wrong, You’re Halfway to Success

In foreigner re-entry permit cases, most incidents where your status of stay becomes unstable between departure and re-entry start with a miscalculation of deadlines.

1. Stay expiration date (= period of stay expiry)
2. Passport validity period (often, your stay permission is granted only within the passport’s validity range)
3. The period recognized as “re-entry permission exemption/permission” (typically 1 year; for permanent residents (F-5), 2 years, etc.)

This post organizes a checklist centered on the three items above—from before departure / while staying overseas / after re-entry—from the perspective of “maintaining your immigration status.”

---

0) 30-Second Self-Check: Do I Need Re-entry Permission?

Under Korean law, the basic principle is: “If you leave Korea and want to re-enter under the same status of stay, you must have re-entry permission (or qualify for an exemption).”

A. If You’re a Long-Term Resident with an ARC (Alien Registration Card)

• Principle: You are subject to re-entry permission (however, if you meet the exemption criteria, you may re-enter without permission)
• Exemption (most long-term residents): within 1 year from the date of departure (however, if your remaining period of stay is shorter than 1 year, only until that remaining period)
• Permanent resident (F-5): exempt if re-entering within 2 years from the date of departure

B. If You Have an F-4 (Overseas Korean) “Residence Card (Domestic Residence Report Certificate)”

• No re-entry permission is required as long as you re-enter within your period of stay (based on the Overseas Koreans Act)

C. If You “Plan to Stay Overseas for More Than 1 Year”

• (For registered foreigners) If you want to re-enter after staying overseas for 1 year or more ~ up to 2 years (or exceptionally longer) after departure, the usual flow is that you need to apply in advance for a multiple re-entry permit.

---

1) Pre-Departure Checklist (Print-Friendly)

Below is a “core checklist” that includes only items that directly affect maintaining your immigration status.

1-1. Check Mandatory Expiration Dates / Validity Periods

• Confirm your stay expiration date (whether your departure date + return date fall within your permitted period of stay)
  • Even with the “exempt within 1 year” rule, if your remaining period of stay is shorter, you can re-enter only until that remaining period.
• Confirm your passport validity (if it’s short, your stay permission may be limited to that range)
• Classify whether you fall under “1-year exemption,” “2-year exemption (F-5),” or “Residence Card (F-4)”

1-2. Final Check: Are You Eligible for “Re-entry Permission Exemption”?

Re-entry permission exemption criteria (as of the enforcement rules effective 2025.11.6):

• Permanent resident (F-5): re-enter within 2 years after departure
• Many statuses of stay (A-1F-3, F-6G-1, etc.): within 1 year after departure (however, if the remaining period of stay is shorter, only until that remaining period)
• However, cases such as entry bans / visa issuance restrictions may be excluded from the exemption, so case-by-case confirmation is needed.

1-3. If Not “Exempt” → Prepare Re-entry Permission (Single/Multiple)

• Re-entry permission is divided into single (one time) / multiple (two or more times).
• The re-entry permission period cannot exceed your authorized period of stay (remaining period of stay).
• Commonly known maximum periods (principle): Single 1 year / Multiple 2 years
  • However, for some cases (e.g., investment / large-scale investment, etc.), the maximum period may differ according to official guidance.

---

2) Practical Checks “1–2 Weeks Before Departure” (Key Points to Avoid Issues at the Airport)

2-1. On HiKorea, Check at Least These Items

Based on guidance materials from Seoul Immigration, HiKorea allows the following lookups/confirmations (identity verification required):

• Validity check for your registration card / residence card
• Lookup of your stay expiration date
• (Some) various information lookups

Also, the e-government (online civil service) service hours (example) are guide as weekdays 07:00–22:00.

2-2. When You Should Update Your Address Before You Leave

• If you moved (reported move-in): you must report within 15 days from the move-in date (for F-4, separately guide as within 14 days)
  When people move right before departure, they often postpone it thinking “I’ll do it after I return,” and end up missing the deadline.

2-3. It’s Risky to Depart When Your Visa (Period of Stay) Is Close to Expiry

• In general, you can apply to extend your period of stay starting 4 months before expiration (for online civil petitions, separate limitations are guide, such as being allowed until the day before the expiration date, etc.)
• If it expires while you are overseas, the “1-year re-entry exemption” becomes meaningless. (Because even the exemption cannot exceed the remaining period of stay.)

---

3) Checks for Those Planning “Long-Term Overseas Stay (1 Year or More)”: This Is Where Problems Happen Most

“I think I’ll be overseas for more than a year” is the point where the game changes from the perspective of maintaining your status of stay.

3-1. For Registered Foreigners (ARC): If You’ll Be Overseas for 1 Year+, Consider a “Multiple Re-entry Permit”

Key points based on the Ministry of Justice notice (Notice on Re-Implementation of Re-entry Permission Exemption):

• If an exemption-eligible person (registered foreigner) wants to re-enter after staying abroad for 1 year or more ~ up to 2 years after departure, the flow is to apply for a multiple re-entry permit.
• Fee guide for a multiple re-entry permit: KRW 50,000
• When applying via HiKorea e-petition, a 20% fee discount is guide

Point: Rather than “I’ll be back within a year,” if there is even a 1% chance you’ll realistically exceed 12 months, setting a safety net from the start by going the “permission” route reduces accidents.

3-2. Application Timing (Miss This and Your Departure Itself Gets Complicated)

According to the same notice:

• HiKorea e-petition: you can apply until 3 days before the departure date (excluding holidays)
• Airport/port: in principle, only a single re-entry permit is possible (some exceptions are guide)

---

4) While Abroad: “What If Returning Within the Deadline Becomes Impossible?”

If, due to unavoidable reasons such as illness, it becomes difficult to re-enter within the re-entry permission period, you must obtain permission to extend the re-entry permission period before it expires.

• The law provides a structure where you apply for an extension permission at an overseas diplomatic mission (a Korean embassy/consulate abroad).
• Fee (example guide): USD 20

---

5) 10 Common Mistakes That Cause “Re-entry Failure / Unstable Status of Stay”

Here are the patterns that come up most often in practice.

1. Leaving Korea trusting only “Within 1 year is OK,” even though your remaining period of stay is shorter
   → The exemption cannot exceed the remaining period of stay.
2. Not counting the 1 year based on the “date of departure”
   → The rules/guidance explain it based on “from the date you departed.”
3. Being a permanent resident (F-5) but planning a long stay without knowing the “2-year” rule
4. Having F-4 (residence card) but mixing it up with ARC rules and making the wrong judgment
   → For F-4 residence reporters, the Overseas Koreans Act sets different re-entry permission requirements.
5. Planning a long-term overseas stay (1 year+) but not securing a multiple re-entry permit
6. Trying to file an online re-entry permit application right before departure and getting blocked by the “3 days before departure” restriction
7. Mistakenly assuming exemption in an exceptional case such as an entry ban/visa issuance restriction
8. Setting an aggressive departure (or return) schedule even though your passport validity is short
9. Planning to “extend right after returning” while in arrears on taxes / health insurance premiums
   → There is guidance stating there may be disadvantages such as period-of-stay restrictions.
10. Leaving Korea without reporting an address change after moving → exceeding the deadline after returning

---

6) After Entry (Return): Final Checks to “Maintain Your Status of Stay”

• If you moved / changed your address, report within 15 days (F-4 is guide as 14 days)
• Considering your next extension timing, pre-save in your calendar when you can apply to extend your period of stay (e.g., 4 months before expiration)
• If you need departure/entry records, you can request issuance of a “Certificate of Entry & Exit Records” (institutional guidance exists)
• If you’re unsure, call 1345 (Immigration Contact Center) for multilingual 상담 (operating guidance exists)

FAQ (Korea Foreigner Re-entry Permit)

Q1. Is the re-entry permission exemption “automatic,” or do I need to apply?

If you qualify for an exemption (e.g., many long-term residents within 1 year, permanent residents (F-5) within 2 years, etc.), the structure is that you do not need to obtain re-entry permission. However, since there may be exceptions such as entry bans / visa issuance restrictions, if you feel uncertain, it’s safest to confirm with the competent immigration office or official guidance.

Q2. What happens if I exceed 1 year after leaving Korea?

(For registered foreigners) If there is a possibility you will stay overseas for 1 year or more after departure, then based on the guidance notice, you may need to apply for a multiple re-entry permit.

Q3. What’s the difference between a “single” and “multiple” re-entry permit?

The law distinguishes between single (re-enter only once) and multiple (re-enter two or more times).

Q4. Can I extend the re-entry permission period while I’m overseas?

If re-entry within the period is impossible due to unavoidable reasons such as illness, you must obtain extension permission before the period expires, and regulations provide that the authority may be delegated to overseas diplomatic missions.

Q5. How much is the fee for a (multiple) re-entry permit?

According to the Ministry of Justice notice (guidance on re-implementation dated 2022.4.1), there is guidance stating KRW 50,000 for a multiple re-entry permit, and a 20% discount when applying via HiKorea e-petition.
(Single/other cases may differ depending on your status of stay and application channel, so it’s recommended to verify based on your specific case.)

Q6. Do F-4 (residence card) holders also need re-entry permission?

For foreign-national Koreans (F-4) who have filed a domestic residence report, the Overseas Koreans Act provides a basis stating that no re-entry permission is required when departing and re-entering within the period of stay.

Q7. What “online checks” should I 반드시 confirm before departure?

Based on HiKorea guidance materials, items introduced include validity checks for registration cards/residence cards and lookup of stay expiration dates.

Q8. Can I report an address change after I return?

There is a deadline. Based on guidance materials, registered foreigners / residence reporters (F-4) must report within 15 days (※ F-4 is guide as within 14 days) after moving (move-in).

Planning a 2-night, 3-day trip to Jeju? If it’s your first time in Jeju (like most international travelers), the least tiring and lowest-fail “standard route” is: 1 day in the East + 1 day in the West + 0.5 day in Jeju City. The itinerary below is a ready-to-follow route designed with attraction hours and fees in mind.

---

Jeju 2-Night, 3-Day Standard Route at a Glance (East → West → Jeju City)

Assumption: Based on rental car/private car travel (most common).
Accommodation recommendation (standard): Night 1 in Seogwipo (Jungmun/Seogwipo Downtown), Night 2 in Jeju City (near the airport) or stay in Seogwipo both nights (if you don’t want to move luggage).

DAY	Regional Theme	Key Route (Summary)	Highlight
Day 1	East (Eastern Jeju)	Airport → Hamdeok/Woljeongri → Seongsan (Seongsan Ilchulbong) → Seopjikoji → Overnight in Seogwipo	Binge the “most Jeju-like” scenery
Day 2	West (Western Jeju)	(Depart Seogwipo) Jusangjeolli → O’Sulloc → Hyeopjae/Hallim → Aewol → Overnight in Jeju City	Ocean + cafes + vibes
Day 3	Jeju City/North	Dongmun Market → Yongduam/coast → Airport	Finish with shopping & food

---

DAY 1. Jeju East (Eastern Jeju) Standard Course

Recommended Route

Jeju Airport → Hamdeok Beach (or Woljeongri) → Seongsan Ilchulbong → Seopjikoji → (Optional) Seongeup Folk Village → Check in to Seogwipo

1) Morning/Lunch: Get “used to Jeju’s sea” at Hamdeok or Woljeongri

• On day one, your energy drops from flying + picking up the rental car, so starting with a beach walk is the safest move.
• Hamdeok/Woljeongri tends to deliver high satisfaction as your “first Jeju ocean.”

2) Afternoon Must-Do: Seongsan Ilchulbong (Paid Summit Course)

• If it’s your first visit, it’s non-negotiable #1. The hike to the top usually takes around 20 minutes, but since there are stairs, it’s better to allow extra time.
• Hours vary by season, and it’s listed as closed for regular maintenance on the first Monday of every month, so make sure you check your date. (Visit Jeju)
• Admission (paid section/summit course): Adults KRW 5,000 / Youth·Soldiers·Children KRW 2,500 (separate group rates). (Visit Jeju)

3) Near Sunset: Seopjikoji Walk (Vibe Point)

• It’s one of the easiest places near Seongsan to enjoy wind + dramatic coastal scenery, which makes it a great last stop for day one.

4) ⚠️Manjanggul, often added by first-timers, is currently closed—check before you go!

• A lot of people add Manjanggul to their itinerary, but there is a notice that it’s closed due to safety inspections and environmental improvement work until March 2026 (upon completion). (Schedule may change.) (Visit Jeju)
• Recommended alternatives (East): Switching to Bijarim / Gimnyeong Maze Park / Sehwa·Gujwa cafe route makes the east-side day much smoother.

✅ DAY 1 Accommodation Tip (Standard)

• If you stay 1 night in Seogwipo (Jungmun/Seogwipo Downtown), it’s easier to access the west on day two.
• If you “don’t want to move luggage,” staying both nights in Seogwipo also works (just head to the airport a bit earlier on day three).

---

DAY 2. Jeju West (Western Jeju) Standard Course

Recommended Route

Jusangjeolli Cliffs (Jungmun) → O’Sulloc Tea Museum → Hyeopjae Beach → Hallim Park → Aewol Coastal Road (cafes/sunset) → (Recommended: stay in Jeju City)

1) Morning: Jusangjeolli Cliffs (Jungmun Daepo Coast)

• If you catch the waves at the right time, this is where you feel Jeju’s “natural power” most directly.
• Admission: Adults KRW 2,000 / Youth·Children KRW 1,000 (separate group/exemption rules). (eticket.seogwipo.go.kr)
• Entry hours: 09:00–17:50 (may change depending on sunset), and it may be restricted depending on weather conditions. (eticket.seogwipo.go.kr)

2) Lunch–Early Afternoon: O’Sulloc Tea Museum (Signature West-Side Vibe)

• A representative west-side spot where you can do photos + a walk + dessert all in one.
• Hours: Summer 09:00~19:00 / Winter 09:00~18:00 (may change in severe weather). (Visit Korea)
• Admission: Free (paid programs separate). (Visit Korea)

3) Afternoon: Hyeopjae Beach + Hallim Line (Best ocean color zone)

• If the weather cooperates, the west side delivers extremely high satisfaction with its “emerald sea.”
• If you add Hallim Park, you’ll neatly complete a “light 1.5–2 hour course.”
  • Hallim Park hours (based on ticketing cut-off, seasonal changes):
    2~May 09:00~17:00 / 6~Aug 09:00~17:30 / 9~Oct 09:00~17:00 / 11Jan 09:0016:30 (±30 min possible). (Hallim Park)
  • Hallim Park admission (individual): Adults KRW 15,000 (separate senior/youth/child rates). (Hallim Park)

4) Near Sunset: Aewol Coastal Road (Cafes/Sunset)

• Day two involves a lot of driving, so wrapping up with “cafe + sunset” boosts overall satisfaction.

✅ DAY 2 Accommodation Tip (Standard)

• Since day three is an airport/market route, moving your second night to Jeju City (near the airport) makes the last day much easier.

---

DAY 3. Jeju City (North) + Return Route

Recommended Route

Dongmun Market → (Optional) Yongduam/Coastal Drive → Airport

1) Dongmun Market (Breakfast/Lunch/Souvenir Shopping)

• If it’s your first time in Jeju, “at least one market visit” is a must.
• Dongmun Market hours (average): 07:00–21:00 (varies by store). (Visit Jeju)
• Dongmun Night Market: Winter (11~Apr) 18:00~24:00 / Summer (5~Oct) 19:00~24:00 (closes when sold out). (Visit Jeju)
• Parking also has guidance for 30 minutes free at the public parking lot. (Visit Jeju)

2) If You Have Time: Yongduam/Coastal Walk (Short and Strong)

• It’s close to the airport, so it’s great to add when “your flight time is awkward.”

---

(Optional) Want to Add “Udo”? — It’s Possible, But There Are Conditions

• Udo is about a 15-minute ferry ride from Seongsan/Jongdal Port, so it’s highly satisfying as a day trip. (VISITKOREA – Imagine Your Korea)
• However, ferries are often canceled due to wind/weather, so for the “2-night, 3-day standard route,” I recommend adding it only on the morning of DAY 1 (it’s easier to swap plans if canceled).
• Also, some tourist information notes restrictions on bringing external cars (rental cars), with exceptions for transportation-vulnerable visitors (people with disabilities, age 65+, pregnant women, etc.), so confirm vehicle entry on-site based on current rules. (Jeju DSI Tour)

---

A Clean Ending with a Seogwipo “Night Walk”: Cheonjiyeon Waterfall (If You Still Have Energy)

• Admission: Adults KRW 2,000 / Youth·Children KRW 1,000 (eticket.seogwipo.go.kr)
• Standard hours: 09:00–22:00 (last entry 21:20) (eticket.seogwipo.go.kr)
• ✅ Important: There is a notice that in 2026, February–May, night viewing will be suspended due to lighting maintenance (09:00–18:00 operation only). (eticket.seogwipo.go.kr)

---

If It’s Your First Jeju Trip, Why This Route Is Reliable (From Experience)

• East = Jeju’s symbol (Seongsan line), and West = vibes/ocean color (Hyeopjae·Aewol line), making it the best balance for 2 nights and 3 days.
• If you try to do both east and west in one day, you’ll end up just driving—this route reduces fatigue by grouping by region.
• By placing places with earlier closing/last-entry times (Jusangjeolli, Hallim Park, etc.) during the daytime first, you reduce the risk of missing out. (eticket.seogwipo.go.kr)

---

5 Common Mistakes (Avoid These and You’ll Succeed)

1. Trying to do Udo + Seongsan + Manjanggul all on DAY 1 (→ 반드시 Manjanggul closure check). (Visit Jeju)
2. Watching the sunset in the west and then driving back down to Seogwipo (fatigue explodes depending on where you stay)
3. Adding coastal points like Jusangjeolli without considering possible weather restrictions (eticket.seogwipo.go.kr)
4. Assuming Dongmun Night Market hours are “the same every day” (start times vary by season) (Visit Jeju)
5. Going without knowing Seongsan Ilchulbong’s regular closure (first Monday) (Visit Jeju)

---

FAQ

Q1. On a first-time Jeju trip, can I do both the east and west in 2 nights/3 days?

Q8. Is it a good idea to add Udo to a 2-night, 3-day itinerary?

You can add it, but due to cancellation risk, I recommend it only on the morning of DAY 1. Udo is accessible via a ~15-minute ferry from Seongsan/Jongdal Port. (VISITKOREA – Imagine Your Korea)
