 |
|
I am in desperate need of advice.
I have a valid Korean passport. I came to Korea with this Korean passport but it will soon expire and under new rule I cannot renew it.
SO I am assuming that I have to use my western nationality passport and claim an f4 visa.
Does anyone know/has had experience with this?
Is it legally straightforward renouncing the citizenship and passport that I used to enter the country? Or will I have to leave Korea with my Korean passport and re-enter with my western nationality passport aka Japan visa run? |

Renounce your Korean citizenship .... cannot be done within Korea.
A visa run and return on your western passport is an option then try to get the F4.
When you are IN Japan you can go to a Korean consulate or the embassy and formally renounce your Korean citizenship.
Is there no way to actually reclaim your Korean citizenship?

| Sounds like the army has him in their sights, is it that easy to get them off your back and will you be able to? |

Yeah? Well, I had a one in two chance of getting it right. 
If you haven't any 'pressing concerns' regarding legalities, I would be loath to give up citizenship - you'll never know when you might need it.  |

But it's probably easier to find employment as a foreign teacher without Korean citizenship. |

| If you're a female, I'd hold onto your Korean citizenship. No point abandoning it. Just look harder for your desired job, or be more open to smaller cities outside of the Seoul Capital Region. |
