Checked October 31, 2026. According to the Korea Immigration Service's relocation notice, Seoul Immigration Office began operating from its new building on October 19, 2026. The former Mok-dong office no longer handles its business after the move. The October 30 ministry release describes the opening ceremony, not the first day of services.
Destination and transit
The new address is 55 Jeongui-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul. The official notice places it about 10 minutes on foot from Exit 4 of Munjeong Station. It also describes a roughly 15-minute walk from the Munjeong Rodeo Street Entrance bus stop or about two minutes from the Hillstate Eco Songpa/Seoul Korean Medicine Hospital stop on Songpa 02. Recheck current routes and the entrance before travel.
Check which office handles your case
An office move does not mean every immigration service or every regional jurisdiction now uses this address. Check the responsible office, appointment location and required documents on your reservation and official instructions. If unsure, call Korea's 1345 immigration information service. An old saved map pin for 151 Mokdongdong-ro should not be used for the relocated Seoul office.
The ministry says the new building has three times the civil-service space of the old one and houses the 1345 information center and online stay/visa service center together. That is an operational description, not a guaranteed waiting time for an individual visitor.
Bottom line: For the relocated Seoul office, verify 55 Jeongui-ro and your particular appointment before departing. The cover is an AI-generated generic building, not a photo of the actual office. A shorter Korean guide is on Life Mokcha's Naver blog.
