If you have different name on your passport and diploma because you used maiden name and married name, you need to send notarized copy of marriage certificate when you do the visa process.

 

If you have different name on your passport and diploma because you used nickname in one of the documents, you need to check with us or Embassy first and to be sure if that can be proved that "Gregory" and "greg" are the same person by the Embassy. And you need to bring your birth certificate to Korea.

 

 

Anyone who applies for an E2 visa must submit:

Statewide criminal record check (for American), provincial criminal record check (for Canaidans) can be accpetable until December. From January 2011, only nationwide criminal record check is accepted by the new Korean immigration law.


Criminal Record Check

- Issued from the central government or local government office
- Must prepare a national wide criminal record check (from Jan. 2011).
- You must have a clean criminal record check. If you have any minor history in your check, please ask for advise. Most local Korean immigrations design to give hard time in issuing the visa confirmation number to the applicant with any criminal history.
- Then you get the apostille from your Country apostille office (Canadians: Korean Consulate notarization).
