I broke a window when drunk, accidentally, and was arrested for 11 hours in Anyang.
Will I be able to get a new E-2 visa? |

Wow... hard to know! All you can do is try.
Are you in a different contract now? Where are you? Trying for your first E2 or a renewal? |

Yeah it's a new school in Ilsan, I worked for a scummy Anyang hogwan last year.
I'm in New Zealand, and this will be my 2nd E-2 visa if I get it. |

Sorry, but I don't think anyone can answer your question. Maybe a recruiter could, but it's so early in this new law thing.
I have no idea if they check your Korean criminal record or not. |

They do. It's part of Immi's database on each foreigner.
What may end up being the determining factor is whether they keep a permanent record of arrests, or only of charges or convictions. |

Thanks a lot both of you for replying. I'll get onto my recruiter to see. I don't want to pay all the fees for documents etc if I get declined.

Wait a month or two, or go down to a local police station now, and get your criminal record report and have its contents explained to you by a Korean you trust.

| For my public school, I had to get a criminal record check locally at our city's police station. |

| So would I get a criminal record check from Anyang or Ilsan? |

| To be safe and thorough, go to both. I'd do it now to clear my mind up, then again in about two months. Periodically, to check and know one way or another. |

Unlike many other countries, local police departments in Korea are not independent agencies, but rather branches of the Korean National Police Agency. Thus, a background check from any given branch should be the same as one from any other.
The Korean consulate in Sydney, Australia posts information about obtaining a Korean background check on their website. See http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?p=1514721#1514721 |
