Kind of personal / professional. IF I get the passport, then my husband and I would seriously consider living there for 3 years so he could get citizenship. Romania would be MUCH easier for him to adapt to both culturally and language wise (He's already able to translate mumbo jumbo gov't docs just due to knowing Spanish). I've heard the job market isn't the best there, so we're also considering Saudi for a bit to save. Hopefully by the time we leave Korea we'll be able to buy another flat in Peru and basically save all the rent we get and live off of whatever we make in Romania.
Basically, Europe would be open to both of us. Even if we don't work there, we could own property, send our kids to school, hopefully get pension, etc.
If I could stay in Korea for five years at this same job, my pension would go up a lot. If we had kids, then we'd have to decide whether to stay in Korea, move to Romania, or go to Saudi.

Don't be jealous just yet  I've still got to get the passport. If it makes you feel any better, I first called the consulate in fall 1999. This hasn't been easy! |

Not if it's by blood. BUt maybe they've changed it. Anyways, I can pretty much read and listen, it's the writing and speaking that's hard. |

Darn it! My lawyer has told me that I have to do the paperwork for my passport myself, in person. There's also the issue that Romania doesn't accept foreign marriage certs. Mine is from Peru, my mom's is from the US.
Good news is that my lawyer CAN register our marriages in Romania and send us all the documentation. Then I will take that and try to apply here in Seoul. My only worry is that my birth cert doesn't have the Romania ID number on it, so I don't know how I can prove that I'm Romanian.
Worse comes to worse, they say no and we try to do it in Romania when I go this summer. Though I hope this happens fast, I'm kind of up against the clock. Need to get my passport in hand by the end of October. |

In Latin American countries, much is done with sworn statements at the Notary in which all of the supporting evidence is assembled before the notary and consolidated into one document. Once it is notarized, it becomes a legal document recognized by the courts, so that if an office refuses to recognize it, they risk being in contempt of court.
Suerte.

Not anymore in Peru. Now they have apostillisation. I'm going this summer though, to Romania, so am hoping to take care of it. |
