1-2. Would a foreigner who gets caught by immigration officers due to illegal
stay be subject to a deportation order ?
After a fact-finding investigation, if there is just cause for the deportation
order in violation of the article 46 of the Korean Immigration law, the person
is subject to a deportation order
In special cases, however, such as foreign spouses married to Koreans, they
86 ѪҙԴۓ߻ڐĶěԐՙ
4FPVM*NNJHSBUJPO0GGJDF
may obtain permission of stay after paying a fine. For further and personal
questions regarding foreigners under the custody of the immigration detention
room, please call the competent immigration office
1-3. When a foreigner married to a Korean national applies for an alien
registration card or extension of stay, should the person visit the
immigration office accompanied by the Korean spouse ?
If the couple have a child born during their marriage or is living together with
the parents of the Korean spouse, they may not be required to accompany
the Korean spouse to the immigration office.
Only, in the case that there is anything questionable about their marriage, like
the report of runaway or needs of confirmations of place of stay, may an
immigration officer require accompanying the Korean spouse for the
application or conduct fact-finding investigation before deciding residence
permit
1-4 . If a foreign spouse leaves home due to the violence of the Korean spouse
and the Korean national reports runaway of the foreign spouse, would it
lead the foreign spouse to become an illegal stayer ?
No. If a Korean spouse reports a runaway, we receive the application of
incident report and input the reported contents into our computer file as a
reference. However, it does not directly lead the foreign spouses to become
illegal stayers. When the foreign spouses are violated by home violence :
there is concern for their protection
In the case of living separately due to domestic violence, etc., please submit
the document which proves violence occured. After confirming the document
and actual fact, the foreign spouse is able to obtain permission for stay. It
is important is to prove the reasons of separate living with proper evidence

1-5. In case of death/divorce/separation, it is required to submit a letter of
guarantee. Can anyone else except for the relatives of the Korean spouse
write the guarantee letter ?
In the past, when a Korean spouse has died or divorced or separated, only
relative of the Korean spouse could write the guarantee letter. .
However, considering reality, now the 3rd person who is eligible to write
guarantee can write a guarantee letter.
If a women's organization with public trust or the 3rd person submits
documentary evidence which proves capability of guarantee, they are able to
write a guarantee letter. The documentation may include certificate of
employment, certificate of tax payment, property tax certificate, etc.
1-6. If the court judges irrevocable divorce, the foreign spouse is obliged to
leave Korea ?
Divorce does not lead to immediate measures such as deportation. The
residence permit depends on who brought the marriage to an end or who
would raise the children
In the case that the Korean spouse caused the divorce, the foreign spouse
may obtain a permit for keeping F-2-1 status. Even if both parties are
responsible for the divorce or the foreign spouse is, if the foreign spouse
raises their children in Korea, he/she can obtain permit for extension of F-2-1
status
Regardless of the imputation of divorce, even if the couple has children and
the foreign spouse does not raise the children, immigration office could permit
F-2-1 after its fact-finding procedure when the foreign spouse intends to stay
in Korea and to exercise the right to meet the children
Despite a divorce by mutual agreement or for cause on the foreign spouse's
account, if the foreigner has an inevitable reason to stay in Korea, he/she
may obtain a change of status to F-1 and stay a maximum period of 2 years
