Criminal background check reinforcement
- A criminal background check from your own country's government
which covers the whole country's information is required.
- According to the Korean immigration law a criminal background
check from the Korean Ambassador of your country will not be accepted.(But, if the document is issued by the verification of your own
government and it is proved, the document will be exceptionally
accepted.)
- Until 2010.12.31 the criminal background check from either central
government, local government or the Ambassador in other country
except Korea will be accepted. But, when the time applying for alien
registration or the next sojourn related application is made, you will have
to hand in the criminal back ground check which is nationwide version.
