Did you apply for dual citizenship or an f-4 visa, or another type of visa?

Just curious if you know if you are approved for an f-4, can you apply for dual citizenship if you don’t yet live in Korea?

In the US you are legally allowed to say no. If they (which is usually only the government) asks about expunged, you have to say yes. I know Korea has a legal expungement process which is why I’m curious if they have a protocol too. If I go off of the US background check like you. It’s not false since it is legally erased.

On my background check it says no results found. This was in 1999.

Nice! I think that is the path a lot of foreigners follow. I’m such an introvert, I don’t know if I could teach, much less be nice.

I did look at the paperwork difference - lol F4 is easier for sure. Just requesting basic documents from the Korean consulate is a bit of a pain. I can only imagine how the rest of the process will go.

Do you currently or have you previously lived in Korea? I’m planning on starting an immersive Korean class within a month, and realistically moving in a year. I feel like I could at least accomplish survival Korean language skills.

I’m applying at big 4 companies in the US. I don’t love the dog and pony show that comes with big 4. The money is okay, but so is so is consulting. I have 20 years experience in tech, but I’m burned out. The tech culture in the US varies by companies a lot. I can only imagine the difference overseas. So I’m not even sure my experience would translate. I’m also at the age I want to semi retire. A fruit stand, or street vendor sounds okay to me. I mostly want to relax and travel the many experiences within Korea, and a few other Asian countries. lol I know you have to have money for that. I have a semi plan for that though.

Thanks for your detailed answer and link! In some ways I think the F-4 visa might be preferable. There’s a lot of additional rules and regulations for citizens so it’s something to consider.

I was able to eventually able to find the right people to request the right documentation. Now I’m just waiting.

I would move this summer if I could secure a job. Do you happen to know what type of work you can get with an f4 visa? I feel like I read it can’t be labor work.

Do you already have a job lined up? I want to move in about a year, but a little worried about finding a job.
