Visa Reminder Korea: ARC

VRKO

About this app

Living in Korea on a student visa? Missing an immigration deadline can mean a fine of up to 1,000,000 KRW — or trouble with your next visa application.

Visa Reminder Korea tracks your deadlines so you don't have to.

■ WHAT IT REMINDS YOU ABOUT

- Alien Registration Card (ARC) — apply within 90 days of entering Korea
- Address report — within 15 days of moving (fine up to 1M KRW if late)
- Visa extension — the application window opens 4 months before your period of stay expires
- Passport renewal — 6 months ahead, because an expired passport blocks your extension
- National health insurance — enrolment is automatic, and unpaid premiums can block a visa extension

■ HOW IT WORKS

Enter a few dates and the app calculates every deadline, then reminds you 30 days, 7 days, 1 day before, and on the day. You choose what time of day reminders arrive.

Each reminder includes shortcuts to HiKorea and the free 1345 Immigration Contact Center, so you can act straight away.

What’s new

Added national health insurance reminders — enrolment is automatic and unpaid premiums can block a visa extension, so the app now reminds you monthly based on how you pay. Entry and moving dates can no longer be set in the future, and each card now shows the date it was calculated from.
