How to Fill Out the Confirmation of Residence/Accommodation — Proof of Place of Stay for Dormitories and Family Homes, and Entries That Reduce Requests for Supplementation

Procedure

1. 1. Check which proof of place of stay applies

   If you have a lease agreement or sales contract in your own name, that contract proves your place of stay. If you live in a family member's, relative's or acquaintance's home, a dormitory provided by your company, or an accommodation facility, prepare a Confirmation of Residence/Accommodation written by the accommodation provider. The attached documents section of the report of change of place of stay also lists documents such as a dormitory residency confirmation or a receipt for goshiwon accommodation fees that show you live at that address.

2. 2. Enter the details of the foreigner and the provider

   In the foreigner section, enter nationality, foreign resident registration number (or overseas Korean residence report number), name, phone number and address, and write the address exactly as the address in Korea on the application, down to the building and unit number. In the provider section, enter nationality, resident or foreign resident registration number and name, and mark the relationship to the foreigner (relative, employer, other), ownership type (own, rent, other) and residence type (private residence, dormitory, accommodation facility, other). Do not leave out the starting date of accommodation, the date of writing or the provider's signature.

3. 3. Company dormitories are written in the name of the representative

   When a company employing foreigners provides a dormitory or similar housing, the provider section contains the personal details of the employer, the representative or the representative of the corporation. In the confirmation section, choose either the representative's name with signature or seal, or the company name with the official company seal. If only a staff member's name and signature appear, the provider is not confirmed, so the form is completed in the name of the representative or the corporation.

4. 4. Gather the provider's supporting documents

   Together with the confirmation, the accommodation provider gives the foreigner a certified copy of the register or a lease agreement showing that the accommodation is owned or leased by the provider, and a copy of the provider's ID. If the provider is a tenant, check that the address on the lease agreement matches the accommodation address on the confirmation. For a company dormitory, a lease agreement in the company's name or the building's certified copy of the register serves as proof of ownership or lease.

5. 5. Apply for registration or extension, or report the change of place of stay

   Foreigner registration is filed within 90 days from the date of entry at the immigration office having jurisdiction over your place of stay, and permission for extension is applied for before the period of stay ends, both on the integrated application form with proof of place of stay attached. After a move, report the change of place of stay within 15 days from the date of moving in to the new si, gun or gu office, eup, myeon or dong office, or the competent immigration office, bringing your residence card, and the report can also be filed through the information network designated by the Minister of Justice.

Fees

Industry range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of won.

Checked against the statutes on 2026-10-16

Statutes and public notices change, so each case needs to be checked individually. Statute titles are given in English for reference. The Korean statutes are the authoritative text.

Check these first

• If the accommodation address on the confirmation, the address in Korea on the application and the address on the provider's register or lease agreement differ, the place of stay cannot be proven and you may be asked to supplement, so match them down to the building and unit number.
• When a whole family reports a change of place of stay, family members other than the owner or tenant mark the residence type on the report form as other.
