Complete Guide to Reporting Changes for International Students in Korea


1. What Is a โ€œReport of Changeโ€ for Foreign Students?

A Report of Change in Registration Information refers to the legal obligation of foreign residents โ€” including students โ€” to notify the Immigration Office when their personal or academic information changes (e.g., school, address, passport number, phone number).

This is not just a formal procedure; it is a legal requirement under Korean immigration law.


2. Legal Basis

  • Article 36 (1) of the Immigration Control Act

    A registered foreigner shall report any change in registered particulars to the head of the Immigration Office or the local government office within 15 days of the change.

  • Article 102 of the Enforcement Rule of the Immigration Control Act

    Failure to report or late reporting may result in a fine of up to KRW 1,000,000.


3. Who Must Report

(Based on Article 98 of the Enforcement Decree of the Immigration Control Act)


8. Step-by-Step Process

  1. Identify the change (address, school, passport, etc.)
  2. Prepare necessary documents
  3. Submit the report within 15 days via HiKorea or Immigration Office
  4. Upload or submit supporting documents
  5. Wait for confirmation (SMS or email notification once approved)

9. Practical Tips from Administrative Experts

  • Address Change: Easily reported online through HiKorea. School or major changes require prior approval from both your university and Immigration.
  • Passport Renewal: Report immediately after receiving the new passport. The passport number and validity period must match.
  • If you missed the deadline, submit a written explanation (statement of reason) โ€” this can reduce fines by 30โ€“50%.
  • Administrative attorneys can assist with:
    • HiKorea account setup
    • Multiple report filings
    • Long-term visa management and extension

10. Conclusion

For international students in Korea, reporting changes to registration information is a legal duty, not an option. Students holding D-2 or D-4 visas must report any changes in address, school, passport, or contact details within 15 days.

Failure to comply may lead to fines, visa extension delays, or even disqualification from future applications. To maintain lawful and stable residence in Korea, always keep your registration information updated.
