Provided are a method of managing UE context and a device supporting the method. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for managing UE context in a wireless communication system includes: receiving a UE context request message including a radio resource control (RRC) establishment cause from a second BS, wherein the first BS and the second BS are located in a same radio access network (RAN)-based notification area (RNA); and when the RRC establishment cause is related to RNA update, transmitting a UE context response message to the second BS, wherein the UE context response message piggybacks a RRC message requesting a UE to move to a RRC inactive state.
