I got a new passport this year and have noticed that I have a gap after the 'Mc' in my family name. It wasn't on my old passport. I asked around and a lot of my friends also have gaps in their newish passports. I contacted the embassy and they said its (completely unpublicized) policy and that...

I'm Irish.

Yea it does have my visa status although it doesn't actually use the word visa on the card. It just says Conversation: (E-2). It is almost all in korean. I just scanned it and translated it and wrote a note about it. I was hoping that there would be a form I could get from the Gu Office, but I...

Sorry, I should have specified that I am the principal applicant. I thought you guys might know but I guess if the sponsor doesn't need it and your wives are korean then it would be irrelevant to you. ARC: Alien Registration Card. The ID card that foreigners who are on visas carry in Korea.

I guess my concern is that I don't have a piece of paper outlining my current visa. I decided to just photocopy my ARC, get a friend to translate it and use that as proof of visa. The last visa i have in my passport was for 2008 I think. I've held the same job since then more or less so...

Ah ok, I looked again and I should have read the introduction to the immi guide. A photocopy is good for western europe (where i'm from) or general asia (where i live) as long as it is in English. Thanks.

Thanks very much! I have one more question. Does a birth cert have to be an original or is a copy ok? Mine is in English.

Did any of you include a copy of your visa for korea? I'm not sure what to do about it except photocopy my ID card maybe. The last time I had a visa put in my passport was a few jobs back.

I have a few questions We are doing a common law application. 1: On some of the forms, you have to write the period of time you lived together. We did the statutory declaration first so the end date on that form does not match the dates on the other forms. Would that be a concern? 2: We are...

I'm applying through London (as common law) as I'm Irish, although I live in Korea. My partner and I were applying in August but setback after setback has meant that we will only get it sent next week. I did my medical check in early July and I'm starting to get worried that the process won't...

My landlord finally came back to us with a new lease. She ended up just creating a new back dated lease for the entire two years with my fiance's and I's names on it. This is fine right? I'm assuming that we have to mention in the app that it is a backdated lease? I'm not sure if its relevant...

We are getting our application together today, so this is a good time to hear this. I'll get the instant one too. Can anyone post or pm me a picture of a completed instant one? edit: images of the application form and check below. Are these the correct ones?

I took the printed out form to the police station, the big one in my gu. That form doesn't exist any more. I filled out a different form and when she saw that the purpose was for Canadian Immi, she sent me to another bigger station to get the one in English.

I just got back from the police station there now. I got the second one or at least applied. I'll get in a week. As far as I could tell, that was the only one I could get as I wasn't given an option.

I'm not sure If I'm missing this, or did you upload the picture of the form for the new check? I'm going tomorrow and I won't have a korean with me so a picture or the name of the form in hangul would be awesome!

Sounds good. That is true about Korea in general. The most convenient country in the world in my opinion. A lot of that has to do with the population density. I will miss the same day car fixes (and cheap), internet dude coming same day, drivers license done in 4 weeks (common in ireland to wait...

Can you get the new English form in any major police station? I love that the guy yelled at your wife! Of course she should know the ins and outs of police checks...doesn't everyone! lol.

You did yours upfront as well? Maybe the person on the phone I talked to isn't aware of the new system. Anyway, I'll head there friday and see whats up.

thanks. I cancelled and rebooked for Friday so I'll tell them then that I don't need a form.

Wow, that's fantastic news! Do you still fill out the same form? Also, do you still have to make sure about the lapsed record section or is that automatic now?
