My passport expires in July 2006, about 3 months before my contaract/visa is up. Has anyone tried to sort this out over here?

I do hope its possible

Sure it is possible.

I've done it twice. Once my passport expired and once after I got married and changed my maiden name.

Go here, download the form.

You need 2 pictures and you need someone from a COMMONWEALTH country to sign the back of the pictures to prove that it's you. The person can be a Brit, an Aussie, a Canuck or whatever.

If you are in Seoul, go to the Embassy with your form, photos and old passport and money - about 100,000 won and they should let you have it back in a week.

If you are not in Seoul, then just send all of the above to the Consular Section. You can go to your local post office and they will make a cheque out for you.

HTH.

Thanks so much

And to add to what TZ said, it is well worth getting tghe 48 page passport if you travel around much in this area.
