 |
|
So I'm a UK resident and I'm looking to get my background check, last time I did this it was the Subject Access Form but that was a few years ago.
On the website for applying it states:
"Anyone can apply for Subject Access to use the information for their own purposes, but you shouldn't be required to provide the information as the basis for a condition of employment or a contract for goods or services, nor can you apply for Subject Access on behalf of someone else.
In March 2015 a law came into effect that makes it a criminal offence to force someone to use Subject Access in this way. "
So have the rules changed or is it a different form now? Or does Korea simply ignore this new rule? Some clarification on what background check I need to get would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You are applying UK rules, policy and law to a separate, sovereign nation where the UK has no jurisdiction to make or enforce law.
It is NOT the employer who requires it, it is the government of the Republic of Korea.
Simply put, the UK rules don't apply.
Korea gets to make its own laws in regards to Korea. The UK does not.
Either
a) you get a background check and get an apostille affixed to it as required by the Korean government or
b) choose another country (but you will find that you will need background checks for most of them as well).
c) stay in the UK where UK rules apply.
Pick one.

Cheers.
I choose door number one.
I'm assuming it is indeed the Subject Access Form then and not any other of the various background checks since that wasn't clarified. Let's hope I'm right in that assumption. |
