How to get your re-entry visa on the e2 , Alien Registration ETC
The korean immigration is user friendly. Be prepared, take paperwork/money/passport/photos you need to.
Now to the guts of it.
Incheon immigration serves the following areas. That thriving metropolis of incheon, as well as the following areas of Gyenoggi do: Bucheon, Ansan, Gwangmyung, Siheung, and Gimpo city. These locations may be closer to other immigration offices you can go to other offices, but chances are you will be sent back to Incheon
If you want a single re-entry for your e2 you can do it at incheon airport. Head for check in Counters G and walk towards the wall and there’s a sign saying immigration, go in a little corrider and it’s on your right. Note you must have an, alien registration card, 30,000 won and a ticket indicating the period of your sojourn or you will be sent back to Incheon Immigration. If you want a multiple re-entry permit you must also go to Incheon Immigration Office.
To the Incheon immigration office
Decent bosses will take you to go and get your alien registration card, awesome bosses like me will take you there to get your multiple re-entry stamp as well.
First, the Incheon Immigration is closed for lunch between 12 and 1. Don’t go then.
The Incheon immigration office’s offical address is: 1-17 Hang-dong 7-ga Jung-gu Incheon.
So now that I’ve told you that there’s a needle in the haystack annnnnd I’ll help you find it.
The immigration office is part of the Yeonan wharf complex, so The closest subway station is Dongincheon (second to last stop on the Incheon line) from there you have three choices.
The easy way:
Hail a cab, point to the dark blue building, say yogiyo and your sorted.
The hard way
Catch one of the following Incheon buses: 3, 12, 24 (some of these you can catch from Bupyeong station) to Jungbu Police Station. The immigration office is next to the quarantine building and opposite a Korean air building. Make sure you use the bus stop on the other side of the main street. You will have to go underground through the mall to cross the street because there are no crosswalks. As of right now, there is a KTF shop on the corner where you should come up from the shopping center. The buses can be caught in front of a McDonald’s.
The fit way.:
You can walk from Dongincheon station, it takes about 20 min. First come out of Dongincheon station (there’s only one exit). You will see a Kookmin bank branch on the other side of the street. Cross the road so you are on the same side as the bank. Then follow the train tracks back up towards dowon station.
About 5-10min up the road u cross many fruit shops and notice on your left (on the other side of road) a road crossing into a railway over bridge. Going ahead u will cross some bamboo shops and a T-junction(big road perpendicularly going right to your road.). There is a sign pointing the highway no 120 and 110 . Take a turn u into that road and follow the yeonan wharf directional sign(without crossing the road and keeping to the right only), After a good 15min walk u find the building on the same side of the road as u r.

Doing the deed
head to the right side window for Alien Registration Card- ignore the stuff on the left side(it id for native Chinese) of the 1st floor( the floor u enter). They told me to come back a week later to pick up the ARC. Please note u have to take a queue number there from a token mechine. If u r living seoul (only for seoul) there is a home delivary system in place opposite to the counters where u submit ur form.Hand over the receipt and sign and fill the forms they ask.
When you enter immigration if you need a re-entry thing for your e2 grab a form off the guy at the booth. Then turn right and pay your fee for what you need. You’ll get some stamps, don’t lose them. If you want an alien registration card you’ll get a form from the stamp person, you then fill out another form on the table fill them in. Then get your finger prints from the window on the extreme right leave your forms, because your done. Please come again and collect your card and passport.
For the e2 you fill in the form, go to the left section of the office. Go to booth number 2, hand over your forms. Your passport is stamped and your sorted.
