Obtain an Alien Registration Card (in Korea), in order to obtain a Russian visa

score:5

Accepted answer

As a tourist you cannot obtain an ARC, because it is for residents, not tourists. Since you don't reside in Korea, you can't go to the Immigration office in Mok-dong and ask for a resident card. You'd need to enrol in a language course, for instance, or find a job.

Note that if for instance you enrolled in a language class, say a 6-month course while in Korea, you'd have to take a few points in consideration:

  • Start date of the class: it's not a buffet. You can't start when you want.
  • If you find a class while already in Korea, you'll have to leave Korea to invalide your tourist visa, go to a Korean consulate to apply for the student visa, and come back.
  • You then need to go to Mok-dong and register. For first-timers, getting the card can take a few weeks (and a couple of visits to Mok-dong).
