F4 Visa
Okay so since I am half korean and my mother was a korean citizen and now is American I am able to get an F4 visa which allows me to go to korea without having job and I can stay in korea longer. There are so many documents needed for this and I think I have it all. In my case where my mother is korean I need: her naturalization paperwork, and birth certificate. I also need her family registry. I need a copy of my fathers driver's license, birth certificate or passport. I need a copy of my passport, birth certificate, passport size picture, $45, and visa app which can be filled out at the consulate. You can do this without having a job. You dont need a diploma or contract to obtain this visa. I am waiting for my sister to get her passport and go to the korean consulate with her and my mother. The guy who does the visa Song Baek.... be warned dude is hella rude!! So imma let my mom talk to him because I would snap on ol dude!! Lol but im almost done with all my paperwork things besides my diploma I feel pretty good and confident! I am going to Korea!! :)
Applying to teach in Korea!
so i've made my decision to teach in Korea by Feb. 2013.
Right now, I have a stable job as a case worker. But it's just not what I want to do. I'm 22 years old!!! I want to travel.I don't want to be stuck behind a desk every day. My minds been made up. Korea here I come!! haha well I still need to actually FIND a job, but I've had a lot of experience so I feel like I could find one? I taught English in Korea every winter and summer break in my college years. That should help right? But I've heard gyopos (Korean-Americans) find it difficult to find jobs b/c schools usually want a WHITE face. -__- but hopefully i'll find a job.
Gyopo. a word i didn't know until applying to be a teacher in Korea. Apparently I am a jaemi-gyopo which means I am of Korean descent but I'm living in America. Born and raise in the U.S.! specifically California.
So yes i'm leaving sunny California to go to REALLY HUMID & FREEZING Korea. But whatever i'm down! hardest part right now is getting the f4 visa. i need a family registry (hojuk) from Korea, only problem is I don't have ANY relatives in Korea. MY WHOLE FAMILY (every single one of them!) came to America at least 20 years ago. Sigh. And i am not rich enough to fly to Korea just to get that. -__- we'll see where this leads me.
F4 Visa - Ticket to the Motherland.
The Korean Government introduced the F4 Visa to OAK's (Overseas Adopted Koreans) in 1999 and entitles us to basically the same rights and opportunities as Korean Nationals.
The visa grants us a stay in Korea of up to two years, however this can easily be extended and doesn't require having to leave the country.
By acquiring this Visa, we also get to keep our citizenship in our established country. There is a possibility, if desired, to acquire dual citizenship, however I am not aware of processes for this at this stage.
More information about the F4 Visa can be found in this link to a PDF: http://www.google.co.kr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=f4%20visa%20adopted%20south%20korean&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CEEQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goal.or.kr%2Fupload%2Fbbs%2Fe612%2F033211793818120.pdf&ei=mbvkTtT6GY6hiQfhpqm2BQ&usg=AFQjCNFnt4uhZwQMsq2pTYHlOc3WFtZebQ&sig2=xnimztHv9oAm_0wBZp19BA&cad=rjt
I have outlined the process I went through below. Basically, you have to first terminate Korean Citizenship (this typically was not done at the time of adoption) and then apply for the Visa.
I obtained the Visa whilst still in Australia, however it is also possible to enter Korea on a 90 day tourist visa and apply whilst in Korea.
Terminating Korean Citizenship (If not done at time of adoption)
Contact the Adoption Agency / Orphanage you were adopted from (Eg. Eastern Social Welfare Society, Holt - contact details can all be found on their websites) and advise them you want to apply for the F4 Visa and need to terminate your Korean Citizenship. First, get them to check this has not been done. If it has - yipee! You can proceed straight to applying for the F4 Visa. If not - they will email you two documents required for cancelling the citizenship which is the Family Registry in Korea and Certificate of Adoption. Both of these documents will be in Korean.
Contact the Korean Embassy in your country. Advise them that you want to apply for F4 Visa and need to terminate your Korean Citizenship. Tell them you have contacted the adoption agency in Korea and have the above two documents ready. They will then request you email/send these two documents and your Citizenship Certificate (from your established country, eg. Australia) to generate the application form for cancellation of Korean Citizenship. The Embassy will then email/send you an application form for Cancellation of Korean Citizenship. This will also be in Korean, however they should have written your name, date of birth, address and mark where you need to sign. It is important you sign the document otherwise the procedure will be stalled. They estimate it could take up to 3 months, but for me, the whole process was completed in 20 days.
Applying for F4 Visa
The Korean Embassy in Australia begun to process my F4 Visa at the same time of cancellation. This required me to send: -Current Passport (to place Visa sticker on) -*Visa application form with one photo -Fee of $165 in money order to Korean Consulate-General -Return self-addressed envelope (Express or Registered) *Download and print off Visa Application form from this site: http://www.traveldocs.com/kr/visa.htm
Looking back, the process is very simple and straightforward. However, as I could not find any information on the internet regarding this process and had no knowledge that I had to terminate my Korean Citizenship, or in fact, still had Korean Citizenship, it involved many, many emails and rather frustrating long-distance phone calls trying to understand the procedure and organise. It may be easier to do in Korea, however as I was travelling for 6 months prior to moving to Seoul, I just wanted to get everything sorted and have that Visa sticker in my passport. I guess I also still felt unsure about Korea, and by having the F4 Visa, I was at least assured of something in Korea.
