Responding to Immigration Departure Orders for Expatriates

As a specialized defense team in the administrative field, Cha & Kwon Law Offices' Immigration Practice handled a comprehensive response to the immigration authorities' departure order.
 
Client A was involved in a drunk driving and intimidation case during his stay in Korea and was fined 9 million won and deferred prosecution, and the immigration authorities conducted an investigation. 
 
In recent years, regulations regarding the stay of foreigners, including overseas Koreans, have been increasingly tightened. In general, if you are sentenced to a fine of 3 million won or more, your period of stay will not be renewed and you will be ordered to leave the country. If a departure order is issued after an investigation by the immigration authorities, an administrative lawsuit is filed to appeal the departure order and apply for a stay of execution. 
 
Ungchae Jung is an administrative law attorney certified by the Korean Bar Association and has specialized in handling the entire investigation and disposition process. Foreigners and compatriots are often unable to take advantage of procedural advantages because they are often in a relatively weak position, and it is important to go beyond the work of the administrator and respond in detail to the procedural process through legal review of the cause of the departure order.
