In order to acquire residency, one must 'have had a domicile address in ROK for more than five consecutive years' (from the immigration website).
My question - how do I prove I've had a domicile address in Korea for more than five years? I'm currently in the middle of my first contract with SMOE; plan to stick around while completing the MA TESOL program at Sookmyung Women's University. I will, most likely, stick it out with the same school (assuming conditions remain more or less the same). Same school, same address for the next 3-4 years; that leaves just one more year in Korea before I can apply for residency.
Anyway, it's something I'm considering, but I need to know more about the process.
Since SMOE's providing the housing, does that mean it doesn't 'count' towards acquiring residency? Must the lease or contract or something be in my name? I have absolutely no idea how this works.
Can anyone help clarify the issue? Much appreciated. |
