Alteration of Residence

If you checked out of on-campus housing and moved into off-campus housing, you must report this change in address to the Immigration Office. You must do so by visiting the Immigration Office, which has jurisdiction over the area where the new house (residence) is located – within 14 days (including weekends) of the relocation to the new house (residence). You must visit the relevant Immigration Office with your passport and alien registration card to fill out an application form (there is no fee). Then, on the spot, an official there handwrites the new information on the back of your alien registration card.
