 |
|
I want to apply for an F-4 based on my parents' nationality, and found the new requirements on this page:
| Quote: |
Those whose either parent or any of the grandparents had Korean nationality but have since abandoned it for a foreign nationality.
- Document proving former Korean nationality of their immediate ascendant
- Document showing the reason for immediate ascendant's gaining of foreign nationality and its date
- Document proving the relationship of immediate ascendant (certificate of birth etc.)
- Documents proclaiming not to be employed in areas that only require simple labor of those listed in Article 23, Section 3 of the Ministerial Ordinance of Immigration Act, such as certificate of yearly tax payment and income-certifying documents (Only applicable to overseas Koreans of countries noted by the Minister of Justice as frequently staying past their permitted term of stay)
- Other documents accepted by the Minister of Justice to be needed�
|
In Korean:
| Quote: |
- 직계존속이 대한민국의 국민이었던 사실을 증명하는 서류
- 본인과 직계존속이 외국국적을 취득한 원인 및 그 연월일을 증명하는 서류
- 직계존비속의 관계임을 증명하는 서류(출생증명서 등)
- 연간 납세사실증명서, 소득증명서류 등 체류기간 중 단순노무행위 등 출입국관리법 시행령 제23조제3항 각 호에서 규정한 취업활동에 종사하지 아니할 것을 소명하는 서류(법무부장관이 고시하는 불법체류가 많이 발생하는 국가의 외국국적동포에 한함)
- 그 밖에 법무부장관이 필요하다고 인정하는 서류� |
The hojokdongbon is no longer valid for obtaining an F-4 visa. Can anyone who applied for an F-4 recently (this year) tell me who I can contact to get the above documents? I know it's easier to apply for it in Korea but I don't want to risk the cost of a plane ticket.
Thanks for your help. |

Thanks for the info but I'm looking for help on the F-4, not the F-5. I don't qualify for an F-5, unfortunately. |

| I don't know the korean name for it, but you'd have to have a family member still in korea go to a local registry office and get those documents. They can go to any city's registry office. Sometimes the community center serves as a registry office too, and they can obtain it there. When I had someone get it for me, I filled out a power of attorney for that family member giving them permission to get the paperwork for me. You can get a generic form from the korean consulate, or make one up yourself, and then have it notarized. You will need to provide them with the address that you were registered under, as well as your old korean id number if you have it, or for your parents, if you don't know your own. As far as I know, you can only obtain these documents from korea, so you have to have someone here get it for you if you can't be here yourself. I could be wrong, but that's my understanding for now. |
