We hired an E7 visa holder and reported the commencement of the internship, but we were contacted to fill out a letter of employment.

There is a field where we enter the job code, so should we write the job code the same as the employment insurance subscription code?

We're currently subscribed to information Number 29 and customer counseling, will there be a problem?

‐--------------------------------

<Answer>

1. When a foreign worker with an E-7 (Specific activity) visa changes his/her workplace, he/she shall be divided into <business subject to prior permission> and <business subject to post-reporting> and take measures accordingly.

2. The customer counseling service you mentioned is the job of customer counseling clerk (3991) among quasi-professional personnel (E-7-2), and is subject to prior permission

​3. Therefore, it is necessary to check the company requirements and foreign worker qualifications for this job (E-7-2, 3991) and prepare documents such as "Reason for Employment" and start work with prior permission from the competent immigration office.

International marriages are the same, so many Vietnamese marriage visas and marriage registration requests are coming in these days. 

Vietnam's marriage registration and issuance of marriage visas are very complicated, so most of the clients are entrusted with acting as agents. 
Our office is conducting several cases this month, and among them, the proportion of Korean marriage registration is high.

Korean marriage registration is somewhat more expensive than Vietnamese marriage registration, but clients prefer it because the groom can handle all procedures in Korea without having to enter Vietnam several times.

In the case of Korean marriage registration, you must first obtain a marriage requirement certificate from the Vietnamese Embassy in Korea. 

In order to issue a certificate, which is a marriage requirement, both the bride and groom must prepare and submit the following documents.

- Bride's documents: Marriage status confirmation, birth certificate, family register, ID card, health certificate
-Father's documents: Passport, criminal history certificate, resident registration copy, health certificate
Your documents must be translated and notarized in Vietnam and stamped by the People's Committee. Our local Vietnamese staff is helping you issue documents. The groom's documents are also guided so that we can get the exact documents issued.



If you get a marriage requirement certificate, you can register your marriage with the Korean ward office with several more documents.
After registering for Korean marriage, you can register for marriage and get a marriage visa in Vietnam at the same time. 

Even if you don't leave for Vietnam, you can register your marriage in Vietnam through the delegation of our local staff, and if you prepare only the necessary documents from Korea and send them to Vietnam, our local staff will apply. 

After that, the priest can enter Korea after receiving a visa and register as a foreigner.

In this way, both marriage registration and marriage visa procedures can be conveniently carried out in Korea, so clients have to enter Vietnam several times and choose to register for Korean marriage more than Vietnamese marriage registration, which has variables.
Vietnam marriage registration and marriage visas are difficult for individuals to handle due to a large number of required documents and very complicated procedures. 

Therefore, it is a good way to save time and money to ask an experienced professional visa expert to proceed.

The Ace visa expert's Office promises to always handle the entire process of registering marriage and issuing marriage visas in both countries.

Foreign Domestic Adoption and Residence Visa Application Procedures/Preparation Documents

The main motivation for adoption is marriage immigrants, but they do not have children, so they adopt relatives such as nephews as children, and they want to adopt their biological children born from a previous marriage relationship of a foreign spouse

There's a case.

In general, in the case of underage adoption, it is made up of "parent adoption," and in the case of adults, it is not possible to adopt a child, so it is proceeded as "general adoption."

​
<Parent Adoption Requirements> 
(1)In principle, a marriage of at least three years must be maintained (in the case of adopting a spouse's biological child for at least one year)
(2) The couple must adopt jointly, 
(3) Adopted children must be minors, 
(4) If the adopted child is 13 years of age or older, he/she shall accept adoption with the consent of the legal representative (physical parents, etc.) (if he/she is under the age of 13, only the legal representative shall accept it).

The domestic adoption process for foreigners is carried out in the following order.

Preparation of adoption-related documents: Birth certificate of biological parents, birth certificate of adopted child, identification and family register, domestic delivery recipient report, etc. 
(Translation notarization, consular confirmation (or apostille) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the consular confirmation of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the country.

Adoption Permission by the Family Court: Adoption of minors must be approved by the Family Court for the welfare of children from July 1, 2013 and reported in accordance with Article 62 of the Act on Registration of Family Relations. In the case of adult adoption, as before, it takes effect by reporting necessary documents such as your own <Adoption Acceptance Letter> and your biological parents' <Adoption Agreement> to the family relations office.

(Report and Effect of Adoption of Minors): You can prepare a copy of the family court's permit and a final certificate and report it to the head of the family relations office (Si, Gun, Gu, Myeon) within one month from the date of the approval trial. From the date of registration of adoption, the adopted child acquires status as a married birth and forms a paternity.

Immigration visa application and issuance: Adoption report and status of residence in Korea will be conducted separately. Even if the adoption is reported, it is listed as a family of foreign children on the family relationship certificate, but until you acquire Korean nationality through special naturalization, you must enter Korea with a separate visa for staying in Korea. Usually, it takes more than a year to acquire Korean citizenship, so you apply for a C-3 (short-term visit) or F-1 (visit residence) visa to enter the country.

What should I do to get health insurance coverage for my foreign spouse and child who are actually married?


<Answer>


Hello!


1. If the visa status of the wife and child in a de facto marriage is a long-term visa for more than 6 months, they can sign up for domestic medical insurance by registering as a foreigner.



2. In order for the questioner's de facto marriage spouse to receive medical insurance benefits as a dependent, he or she must stay in Korea with an F-6 (wedding invitation) visa approved after registering the marriage.

This time, I am planning to register my marriage with my American spouse in Texas, USA. I would appreciate it if you could write down the list of documents I need to pack :)

Also, I'm trying to postpone the marriage registration in Korea after registering my marriage in the United States, so could there be any disadvantages?

​

<Answer>

Hello!

1. I don't know the details of the marriage registration process in the United States. [* Marriage laws vary from state to state in the United States, so you need to ask the competent authorities about marriage laws in advance and receive guidance]

- For your information, the U.S. recognizes the documents of marriage registration in other countries, so if you have already registered your marriage, you may not need to register your marriage again in the U.S.

- However, even if a marriage is registered in a foreign country, in order to be recognized for the legal effect of marriage in Korea, you must attach a marriage relationship certificate issued by a foreign country (Apostille or consular confirmation required) and do it again at the local Embassy of the Republic of Korea, Consulate General, or the Korean District Office.

​

2. How to register a marriage in Korea is as follows.

- You can get a certificate of marriage from a foreign spouse (Apostille or consular confirmation required) and enter the country and go to the counter in charge of family relations at the district office.

- Marriage declaration must be signed by two witnesses (two acquaintances).

​

3. Ten days after the marriage registration is completed in Korea, if you obtain a marriage relationship certificate, you can apply for a foreign spouse's F-6 (wedding invitation) visa at the local Embassy of the Republic of Korea or the Consulate General.

​

4. For your information, the F6 marriage invitation visa application document is as follows.

A. Consolidated application form

B. Original and copy of passport (Korean invitee, foreign spouse), photo for passport

C. Invitation letter for foreign spouse (written by Korean spouse)

D. Statement of identity (written by Korean spouse)

E. Statement of marriage background (Foreign spouse preparation)

F. Basic certificate details (Korean spouse) 1 copy

G. Details of marriage relationship certificate (Korean spouse) 1 copy

H. Family relationship certificate details (Korean spouse) 1 copy

I. One copy of resident registration

J. Certificate of residential requirements (registered copy in case of own house, lease contract in case of lease)

C. Relationship proof documents (from the start of the relationship to cohabitation and marriage, preparation of a report, photos, etc.)

O. Certificate of no crime (foreign spouse)

I would like to hire a Japanese worker with a high school diploma on an E-7 visa in Korea. He said, "Korean is at the level of daily work. He went to a language school in Korea for six months, and now he goes back to Japan to work part-time at a company that exports cosmetics to Korea.

It is said that it is difficult to apply for a work visa if you do not graduate from college or have 5 years of experience in related industries, what is the most realistic way to apply? I'm not considering a marriage visa.

​

<Answer>


Hello!

​
1. In order for a foreigner to get a job at a company and get a long-term visa, there are various visas depending on the type of labor, but in general, an E7 (specific activity) visa must be granted.

- In order to be granted this visa, there are various conditions regarding the company and its workers, but basically the following requirements must be met.

A. Foreign workers must get a job in a field similar to their university major (academic + career) and master's major,

B. Minimum annual salary of 36 million won when signing a labor contract
The salary must be at least 3 million won per month,

C. In addition, there should be no punishment for violating the law, such as immigration-related laws, for companies or foreign workers.

​

2. In particular, if you fill out and submit the documents for <Reason for Employment and Expected Effect>, there is a high possibility of issuing an E-7 visa.

​

3. In conclusion, unfortunately, Japanese with a high school diploma are not subject to E-7 (specific activities) professional visas.

- Another alternative is to work part-time while staying on a D-4 or D-2 visa for <Korean Language Training Visa> or <University Study> D-2.

I am Korean and my boyfriend is Senegalese. Last November, we had a Muslim wedding in Senegal and have not registered a Korean marriage.
My boyfriend is trying to start a personal business when he comes back to Korea (I heard that a business visa that I have previously looked into costs about 100 million won). Can I know what kind of visa I can get except for a business visa?

​

<Answer>

Hello!

1. If you have a wedding with your Senegalese spouse, it is recommended that you register your marriage in Korea and apply for an F6 (wedding invitation) visa for your husband. Because once the F6 visa is issued, you can work freely economically like Koreans in Korea.


2. When applying for marriage invitation (F6), documents related to the income requirements of Korean spouses can be understood as <annual income from January to December of the year belonging to one year ago> (annual income from the previous year).
(*Case: If you apply for a visa between 1.1 and 12.31 in 2023, it means gross income from January to December 2022)


3. In addition to the data mentioned above, the following documents must be prepared to apply for an F6 (wedding invitation) visa.

A. Consolidated application form

B. Original and copy of passport (Korean invitee, foreign spouse), photo for passport

C. Invitation letter for foreign spouse (written by Korean spouse)

D. Statement of identity (written by Korean spouse)

E. Statement of marriage background (Foreign spouse preparation)

F. Basic certificate details (Korean spouse) 1 copy

G. Details of marriage relationship certificate (Korean spouse)

H. Family relationship certificate details (Korean spouse)

I. One copy of resident registration

J. Certificate of residential requirements (registered copy in case of own house, lease contract in case of lease)

C. Relationship proof documents (from the start of the relationship to cohabitation and marriage, preparation of a report, photos, etc.)

O. Certificate of no crime (foreign spouse), etc

If you are busy, you can also act on behalf of the above document preparation support.

1. F-6 (wedding invitation) immigrants can invite their parents or relatives to visit and live together (F-1) long-term visas to support child rearing. 

However, long-term invitations are not available after September of the year when your child turns 9 years old.
(* Single-parent marriage immigrant families can be invited by September of the year when they turn 12 years old)

- F-1-5 visa application preparation documents include invitation letters, identity guarantees, illegal stay and employment prevention pledges, and family relationship proof documents.​

​

2. F-6 (wedding invitation) visa holders can recommend their home country's family to local governments as seasonal workers.

- Seasonal work for foreigners is a visa (E-8) system that allows them to work legally for up to five months to solve the shortage of workers in farming and fishing seasons.

- You cannot apply for a visa (visa) directly for foreigners who want to be farmed, and local governments act on your behalf. Therefore, if foreign seasonal workers are needed, they should request to the local government according to the procedure.

My father is a Bangladeshi national and has lived in Korea for more than 20 years. However, he has not obtained his nationality, and he is staying with a child-rearing visa.
My mother left home in 2009 due to divorce, and my father married a Bangladeshi woman this time.

I invited her to Korea, but her visa was not granted due to concerns about her illegal stay (in my sister's name).
I want to let him live together in Korea so that he won't be lonely this time, but I don't know how to apply for a visa and whose name to use.
My father raised us for 20 years and lived a lonely life, and finally met stepmother, but I feel so bad about being separated, and now I hope he is happy.

Hello!

​

1. Your father must have had a hard time raising three children by himself. Currently, the visa for the father, who is a Bangladeshi national, to stay in Korea is considered F-6-2 (child rearing).

​

2. For these people, you can apply for a change to an F-2 (resident) visa that can live in Korea for a long time. The subject of application for change and qualification requirements are as follows.

​

A. Target: Foreign parents who raised their children born with a Korean spouse until they reach adulthood (19 years old) after breaking off their marriage relationship with the Korean people

​

B. Qualification: Stay for at least 5 years legally as of the date of application as a child rearing visa (F-6)

​

C. Basic requirements for settlement in Korea: the ability to establish behavior and maintain a living (40% of the standard median income), basic skills (completed at least 4 stages of the social integration program)

​

3. Once the father's residence status is changed from F-6-2 to F-2 visa as described above, the remarried Bangladeshi stepmother (marriage relationship certificate required) can be invited to the F-1 (visiting residence) visa.
