http://www.disclosurescotland.co.uk/apply/
Apply here (does'nt matter if you are not from Scotland, they deal with the whole of the UK) they won't send overseas so get them to send it to family or friends in the UK, then get them to send it here.
When it arrives in Korea, take it to the British Embassy and pay 70,000 won get it stamped, then immigration will accept it
Takes about 2 week to process taking shipping times into account and plus its christmas and the royal mail are shi te I would apply about 6 weeks before you need it, just be on the safe side |

I heard recently the British embassy no longer stamp CRC's. Anyone else confirm this?
PS: You can also apply for a CRC through your local police station. My local station even sent mine to Korea.... |

I must say, I'm constantly impressed with how the British Embassy manage to do as little as possible for as much money as possible. |
