Immigration posted a new announcement on their home page about the E-2. It appears to offer some further modifications to the regulations, but I'm not confident enough in my Korean ability (or Google Translate) to say exactly what.

Any of you Korean wizards care to take a stab at it?

회화지도비자(E-2)에 대한 제출서류 간소화




법무부는 2008년 3월 15부터 회화지도비자 신청시 주한 자국공관의 영사확인이 있는 경우에도 범죄경력증명서의 효력을 인정해 주고, 건강진단서에 카나비노이드 검사 항목을 삭제하기로 하였다.

  • 법무부는 2007.12.15.부터 회화지도비자 신청 제출서류에 범죄경력증명서, 자기건강확인서를 추가하고 영사인터뷰를 실시하는 등 회화강사의 자격검증을 위한 제도적 장치를 마련하여 시행해 왔다.

  • 그 과정에서 아포스티유 확인 제도 및 외국인등록시 카나비노이드검사를 받도록 하는 것이 민원인의 대표적인 불편사항으로 지적되었다.

  • 이에 그동안 발견된 불편사항을 개선하기 위해 국내에 거주하면서 우편으로 범죄경력증명서를 발급받았거나 시급히 우리나라에 입국하게 되어 아포스티유를 받을 여유가 없는 경우에는 국내 주재 자국공관의 영사확인을 받은 경우에도 범죄경력증명서의 효력을 인정하기로 하였다.

  • 범죄경력증명서의 유효기간도 현행 3개월에서 6개월로 연장하였다.

  • 또한, 07. 12. 15. 이후 회화지도비자를 받은 외국인이 국내에 계속 체류하면서 회화지도비자를 재발급 받고자 할 경우에는 범죄경력증명서를 제출하지 않아도 된다.

  • 더불어 외국인 등록시 제출하는 건강진단서 항목에 마리화나 복용 확인을 위한 카나비노이드검사는 삭제하기로 하였다.

  • 민원인편의제공차원에서 제3국소재 대한민국공관에서 비자신청이 가능한 외국인에 대하여는 사증발급인정서 허가여부를 이메일로 통보할 때 함께 안내할 계획이다.

  • 법무부는 국민이 양질의 외국어교육을 받을 수 있는 여건을 조성하기 위하여 회화지도비자 제도에 관한 지속적인 모니터링과 의견수렴을 병행할 예정이다.

Here's the Babel Fish translation.

"Ministry of Justice from 2008 March 15 recognizes the effect of the crime
career certificate even in the case which is consul confirmation of the
conversational map visa application hour resident in Korea home country
official buildings and it gives, the car butterfly scull tu eliminates a
prosecuting attorney item in the clean bill of health, it did.

Ministry of Justice from 2007.12.15. added from the crime career
certificate and own healthy confirmation in the conversational map visa
application submission document and the system system for the
qualification verification of the back conversational lecturer who executes
a consul interview it prepared it enforced and and it came.

In order for Oh the gun su the mote Yoo confirmation system and the
alien registration hour car butterfly scull tu to receive the prosecuting
attorney from the process, was indicated with civil appeal humanity and
justice representative inconvenient fact.

It dwells in the hazard domestic which improves the inconvenient fact
which is discovered hereupon during that time and it issues it enters and
and and the effect of the crime career certificate even in the case which

Also the terms of validity of the crime career certificate from current 3

Also, 07. 12 15. The foreigner who receives after conversational map visa
continuously stays in domestic and if the conversational map visa

It joined in and alien registration hour the car butterfly scull for a

Against the foreigner where from the bias provision dimension which is a

will guide together.

Ministry of Justice in order to create the circumstance which is the

Looks like they are giving up (deleting) the canninaboid test because it takes too long for the docs to be done.

- The background check is now vaild for 6 months - instead of the previous 3 months.


또한, 07. 12. 15. 이후 회화지도비자를 받은 외국인이 국내에 계속 체류하면서 회화지도비자를 재발급 받고자 할 경우에는 범죄경력증명서를 제출하지 않아도 된다.

- All foreigners who were issued with an E-2 visa after December 15th will not have to submit another background check in the event they are reissued another visa in the future.

this is totally unreal. this means that you could be a current pothead with no criminal record and be issued a visa, meanwhile someone with a years old conviction would be denied even if theyve stopped using drugs.

Can anyone back translate the car butterfly skull?

I think it's kinda funny, it was a better translation than the google translate though.

Is there a better translator available?

Here's a crazy thought that I just KNOW defies all Korean logic...

If you're gonna post new rules and regulations specifically targeted at a group of people you want in your country but who don't speak the language DON'T POST THE F*&#ING THING IN KOREAN!!!

And I'm sorry but this kinda supports the cultural dominance theory many (I want to say most but won't) Westerners believe many (again I refrain from saying most) Koreans hold.

Maybe they don't want people to know that they are no longer doing drug tests. Better to keep that hush, hush.
As for the docs stuff, yeah, I imagine it's better to notify people, putting stuff on the E2 visa section in the Justice website. The Justice Dept. website is rarely updated and takes a long time for any new news (in English) to get put on there ... Also, this kind of information does get deciminated (is that the right word?) quite quickly throughout the 'foreigner' community...
Not sure about the cultural dominance theory. I 'spose it works that way in any country. I know many foreigners in NZ who can't find out information so hire Immi consultants to do it. The vast amount of processes are a shocker and yet info on their website is not written into any different languages overnight.

So does this mean that I, who submitted a CRC 18 months ago for my P.S. job, would have to submit another one if I changed jobs?

Maybe....

Please note that for those who had their initial E2 visa issued by the Superintendent of a POE, you may be exempted from providing these two documents:
1. New Criminal Record Certificate, apostillized / embassy notarized (for Canadians only)
2. New Health Check Certificate

however


this is at the discretion of the case officers at each Immigration Office.
