Welcome to the Korea Immigration Service(KIS) website.

As Korea faces rapid demographic changes—including a declining working-age population and the depopulation of rural areas—the role of immigration policy is becoming more important than ever.

In response to these shifts, the Korea Immigration Service is actively promoting immigration policies that contribute to sustainable economic growth and national development.

We are committed to continuously identifying and addressing the challenges faced by foreign residents in Korea to create a living environment that meets global standards. At the same time, we respond firmly to any unlawful behavior that threatens public safety or undermines legal order, striving to build a society where both Koreans and foreign residents can coexist in harmony.

Moving forward, we will continue to pursue balanced immigration policies that uphold the rule of law while promoting the values of social integration.

Through these efforts, we aim to help Korea take a leap forward as a global leader where citizens and immigrants grow together.
