You and the authority / organisation holding the evidence
How to get it

체류기간 / 신고기한 / 미이행 내역Dates and evidence of the missed dutyBaseline document

Supporting evidence

From
Your records and official notices
How to get it
Record the exact move, passport issue/receipt, expiry and application dates. Gather notices, receipts and evidence of any unavoidable delay. Contact 1345 or the responsible office for how to report/appear; an appointment is not permission to remain.

Before you submit

  1. Confirm the exact subtype and current notice with HiKorea / 1345; name both your current and requested status.
  2. Check the receiving office, online availability, appointment, fee, originals/copies, translations and authentication before obtaining documents.
  3. Submit through the official service. Keep the receipt, answer requests for more evidence and check the decision. A checklist tick is preparation, not approval.

Official sources, review date & coverage

Checked against the linked official sources on the date above, including HiKorea’s 6 November 2026 manual. A family-level route is not every subtype’s final checklist. Penalties shown are legal maxima for the stated violation, not predicted charges. Official notices and individual immigration instructions take precedence.
