 |
|
As of last March, I am an Irish citizen. My father was born and raised in Ireland so the process was relatively simple. Still, I have not even set foot in Ireland, and all of my education is in the U.S. I have lived in China for the past 15 years, with the exception of one year when I returned to study, and a month every couple of years when I went home.
If I apply for work in SK, will the government most likely view me as a U.S. citizen and require the fingerprints, FBI check, etc or is it possible for me to just enter "Ireland" on country of citizenship? I have nothing to hide. Actually, 2 years ago, the last time I was in the U.S. I did the fingerprint/FBI thing and got a clear report. It is just a PITA to do it again. |

| whichever passport you plan on using, you need a CBC from that country. |

| I think the passport you use has to match where you received your bachelors degree. |

I've never heard that. I doubt its true.
Be aware that as an Irish person your pension deductions would be lost money, whereas as an American they'd be doubled & paid back to you. |

| ^^What I'm saying is, I think they'll want a criminal background check from your passport issuance country, and wherever you got your bachelors. So it is better to choose the passport that is the same as your degree country. |

| Money is good...more money is better...and refunded money that is doubled sounds too good to be true! If I go under my Irish citizenship, would that money be sent to the pension fund in Ireland, or just kept |

Lost till you turn 65 then you can claim your Korean pension (provided you have something in it).

That is not true. At all.
Whatever countries' passport you want to use when you teacher here is the country that you will need a CBC from. It doesn't matter where the degree is from as long as it is from one of the 7 countries on their list for E-2.
Also, as Schwa said, you will get more money back as an American. |

That would be odd. So they think Canadians who studied in the US are not qualified to teach English to 8 year olds? |

Not true as I can attest to this of being a dual citizen. My visa was issued in one of my passport but criminal background and bachelors was from my other passport/country. No issues at all. |
