The notice list this paper collected from the association’s website includes a post titled “Permanent-resident foreigners renew visa once every ten years.” The number in its web address is 151, and its posting date is not shown in the list, so we cannot confirm it. The same list also has a post titled “August 2026 Incheon Chinese Association external exchange” (number 6121); the lower-numbered notice seems to have been posted earlier, but that is not certain.
광고 문의 · 300×250From the title, the notice appears to remind permanent-resident foreigners of a procedure required once every ten years. The exact scope of who must renew, the application period, required documents, where to apply and fees are unknown because the text could not be opened. Foreign holders of Korea’s permanent-resident (F-5) status are generally understood to have to renew their alien registration card periodically, but specific requirements can change and should be checked against the latest guidance from the Ministry of Justice and immigration authorities.
Many overseas Chinese in Incheon and elsewhere in Korea reside under permanent-resident status, so such a notice bears directly on daily life. Missing a renewal deadline can cause trouble, so affected readers should first check the validity period on their own registration cards.
This paper did not confirm the notice’s text or posting date. For the correct procedure, contact the Incheon Overseas Chinese Association or the local immigration or foreigner-affairs office. We will add detail once the text is confirmed. Source: notice board on the Incheon Overseas Chinese Association website.
