What is this?

What if you're fired or quit, haven't left the country and it's been less than six months since you applied for a visa? Or even if you haven't left the country no matter how much time you've been here? If your last CRC falls under current regulations, why do you need another one?

And why don't they give it back to you when you apply for your visa? Why do they keep it? Do they stamp it or something? I'm seriously thinking about going into my immigration office and demanding it back. It's mine and I paid for it. Surely to fk it's mine.

I'd like to see something official on the six-month thing. I know it's true that if you're submitting it for the first time it should be no older than six months. But I'd like to see something official on if you're already in-country and haven't left.

At any rate, I was asking about it being useful if you've been working less than six months. You say it's still good.

It'd be nice to know for sure. That would take a trip to the immigration office. Not a phone call.

They were talking initially about a type of clearing house op whereby you submit your docs once and the info will be kept for future employment. If they are unable to do this for degrees/diplomas and transcripts which are basically fixed, I don't expect them to do it for CRCs which are work-in-progress docs. However, in the case where one hasn't returned to one's home country and has been in SK since the last CRC, why the fk would attaining another one serve any purpose? They could simply do a police check here.

The Korean government have requested that UK police checks should be issued from the UK police.
I understand that they want to see the police check which was issued within 3 months.
Here are some useful information on this; http://ukinkorea.fco.gov.uk/en/advanced-search?post

Once you have your British police check this will need to be apostle in the UK or need to be stamped
by the Consular section of the British Embassy in Seoul. Then, this will be acceptable by the Korean Immigration
(I've checked with the Minister of Justice).
The current statutory fee is W54,000 (as at today's rate) for each document.
Postal application is acceptable. For the fees, please send us a money order
('Woo pyun hwan' - you can buy it at any post office).
The payee should be 'British Embassy, Seoul'.
Please add W4,000 for return postage for you with a self addressed envelope with you phone number.
Address: Consular Section, British Embassy, 4 Chung-dong, Chung-gu, Seoul, postal code 100-120.

Seoul immi office told me on Friday and also verified with Uijungbu office while on the phone at 1345 that when getting an exit order ..as long as I stay in country until I apply for my new E-2 visa I do not have to turn in another CRC. Mine was less than six months so that might be the difference there...but then Immi central at 1345 looks on the computer and tells me that they have it ..and it is scanned in the computer system...who knows where the hard copy goes....anyone's guess..

call 1345 and give them ur bday and name and they will tell u what docs they have on file..or the ARC when u press the star key
