How to securely get an ARC residence confirmation for short-term stays near Busan Nat'l Univ

As the group ARC application period for international students approaches, many guests scramble for proof of residence.
In one case, a student at Busan National University (PNU) contacted us urgently with a Sept 2 submission deadline.

Guests who booked via other platforms often face rejection or complex requests for lease contracts and ID copies, which can be stressful and confusing.

Because many short-term rentals can't provide official admin documents, we'll show you a safe way to get your residence confirmation and reduce deposit burden.

Documents required for ARC issuance

To get a legal ID in Korea, immigration or your university needs clear, specific documents.

What do universities ask for in group applications?

For the PNU case, they required a reservation showing at least 2 months' stay and the address.
They also asked for a signed, stamped residence/host confirmation and a copy of the host's ID—very detailed proof.

Independently run listings usually can't supply such detailed admin paperwork.
plott LIFE’s direct listings provide complete residence/room confirmation and all ARC-required documents for international students.
