 |
|
| Korean Immigration in Osaka didn��t want to issue more C-4 (90 day temporary worker visas) to me. The last one expired last March. I��ve been here in Oregon for the last 7 months. I��d like to come back to Korea to work and the C-4 is a pretty handy visa for short term work. Would I have a better chance for a C-4 if my passport didn��t have any of my previous history or does immigration have all of our histories on a computer anyway? |

| 'Lose' has one 'o'. If it was me I'd want to know. |

| Never "lose" your passport: it's not worth the hassle in the years to come. Wouldn't make a difference anyways. Immigration has your visa/work history on computer file even if you get a new passport number. |

yeramin probably didn't mean this, but he might have:
90+% of Koreans write "lose" as loose."
Perhaps he was being savvier than though.
Anyway, yeramin, tell us about the c-visa. Can anyone get one? What are the conditions? |

How is losing your passport and getting another in the years to come a hassle? |

| Why not just, like, get an E2 visa? |

Agreed.
It's not worth the hassle -- also, when I lost mine (legitimately -- well it was stolen I guess), I had to contact the local police, the bus where it was lost, prove that I had done these things and also swear that I lost my passport legitimately -- and not sold it or any other such thing. My next passport was a temporary one, expired within a year. If I had lost that one as well within that year, or had it stolen, the Canadian government would have been able to refuse to reissue a new passport (possibly ever, although I'm not sure about this).
It was a nerve-wracking year and I didn't feel like Canada had totally forgiven me until that year was over. |

| What are you possibly thinking? For one thing, I'm not going into the multiple reasons to do this. Taiwan might be more your speed at this point. |

I know a friend who left Korea on a Irish passport. Not sure if he had a Canadian passport also or if he went to Canada and changed it?? but he entered Korea with a Canadian passport a few months later.
He tried to get a work visa and they had all his info on file...so they check your name. Not just your passport number.
So, they'll have your history on file. |
