In a case where the immigration service reviewed extending the period of stay, Cha & Kwon Law Offices obtained a decision to extend the period of stay.

The client was involved in a drunk driving and intimidation case during his stay and was fined 9 million won and deferred prosecution, and the immigration authorities conducted an investigation

Recently, there has been a trend of increasingly stricter regulations regarding the stay of foreigners, including overseas Koreans. 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.

Despite this situation, we have done our best to help our clients extend their stay by using professional strategies such as alcoholism treatment.

Partner Ungchae Jung is a certified administrative law specialist by the Korean Bar Association and has specialized in handling the entire investigation and disposition process. Foreigners and compatriots are often in a relatively weak position and cannot utilize their procedural advantages. It is essential to go beyond the administrator’s work and provide a detailed procedural response through a legal review of the cause of the departure order.
