Seoul Global Center
서울글로벌센터
A starting point for foreign residents seeking information and support in Seoul. Understand the center’s role, prepare an enquiry and distinguish advice from a formal government decision.
Before you visit
Seoul Global Center is listed by the city as a support resource for foreign residents at 38 Jongno, Jongno-gu.

- Confirm which documents are needed before sending personal information.
- Record the responsible office and the next step; check formal requirements with that
Institutional background
Seoul announced that the Global Center building opened in Jongno in June 2013. Its contemporary account described a shared location for resident support and international activities. This explains the building’s institutional purpose, but the 2013 floor-by-floor tenant list should not be used as a current service directory.
Current information and limits
Programmes, counters and appointment rules can change. The links below connect to municipal information; confirm your destination directly rather than assuming every service in the city’s wider network is delivered in this building. This is a practical service page, not a historical attraction or a guarantee of individual eligibility.
Caution: Please verify directly with the official responsible authority for latest requirements.
