| At the end of the day, it's their country. They can make whatever laws and policies they like. Foreigners have a choice. Most of the time, if foreigners obey the law they can have a pretty decent life in Korea. |
I liked Korea and was treated decently untill I left Korea, then the crap started. Possibly because they didn't like the fact that I left. Really I will never really know. |

Well, if you need stats on deportation ask immigration because no one here can provide you with an accurate number.
The only conclusions you can rely on is that foreign teachers DO get deported for various reasons including: work visa violations, fraud, drug offenses.
How many a year? Hard to say. |
I'm confused then, Patrick,
From your challenge to Skyblue, I thought you were actually in possession of this information.
It makes me think you find it suspect to ask these kinds of questions.
What gives? |

Korea sounds tightass!!!! I could tell the Australian Government right now at least 5 Koreans who actually run companies (not just individuals) illegally in Australia. And that�s not to mention 90% of Chinese who will never pay tax to this bloody Country. I am sure that goes for nearly any Western Country with 'Asians'.
I think if I got caught in Korea doing anything wrong I would make sure Koreans and their money sucking ways in Australia went down out of pure revenge with their illegal importing companies, cleaning companies, restaurants, airport pick up services and ofcourse the biggest one PROSTITUTION services ( 1 of every 3 prostitutes is a Korean on student VISAs and no tax and yes Korean girls have a terrible image here because of the amount of bloody prostitutes working here), oh and the latest one I found out about is my flatmates VISA's are illegally obtained through another Korean service offered.
I would make sure they got rolled over and internationally the Country looked like low-life scum......
But that would never happen cause I don't care.... So why does Korea give a crap about a little bit of extra cash.
So can someone tell me is Korea really persistent on Foreigners staying in line? |
Are you going to teach English with that capitalization? |

I am just curious about why someone would want to know how many foreigners are deported in a year. What use would that information be to a person. This is not a loaded question, I am genuinely curious here. I was not challenging skyblue by the way, I was only asking a question. |

I personally knew a woman who was deported. I suppose for an indirectly valid reason, but the reason I'm posting this is because of the absolute ignorance on the part of the authorities involved.
Her boyfriend returned from a sextour in Thailand and gave her HIV. This was years before the mandatory health checks, and it came out in a checkup she initiated on her own.
The doctor didn't say anything to her.
She found out the horrible news when a police officer and immigration agent came to her hogwan. In the same breath, she was told she had HIV, and had to leave the country immediately. They escorted her to her apartment, waited while she packed, and took her to the airport.
She paid the flight costs. |
Man, that's just evil. The doctor didn't have the decency to take her aside and gently break the news to her that she had a life-threatening disease. Rather, he calls the police and immigration. What a scumbag. Don't doctors hear take some type of hippocratic oath?
Just unbelievable. But nothing about this country surprises me anymore. |

Let me put your mind at ease, Pat. I know that you're probably worried that a fellow eslcafe.com poster might be breaking Korean law and teaching on the side. Well, I share your concerns. So let me state once and for all, categorically, that I have never and would never subvert the excellent system that the Korean government has put in place to protect people from freelance language teachers. My question was one of idle curiosity, though I am now beginning to think that it was dangerous, in that the answer might give people the impression that they can break the law with impunity. That was never my intent, and just let me say that I hope no one, ever, thinks they can tutor others without their government and employer's permission. |

I still don't see how that would be too useful. |
