There has been an increasing number of people naturalized in Korea. Before many Koreans would want to go to other countries and change citizenships. Now, Korea is one of the sought after countries in the world. An article today from the Korea Times mentioned that Korea will adopt a host of new measures to simplify applications for naturalization and visas by foreigners.Expatriates in Korea will have more chances to apply for naturalization interviews, while corporations can apply for visas online when they recruit from abroad starting this month.
The Ministry of Justice said that it will hold naturalization interviews at 17 immigration offices nationwide from February. These were previously only offered at the citizenship test center in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province.
The ministry will also provide written test and interview samples on the Immigration Service's Web site at immigration.go.kr and e-government site at hikorea.go.kr.
HuNet KOREA (visa.go.kr) is an online visa application system for companies inviting professionals, including researchers and native English teachers, from overseas.
Firms seeking to apply for visas through the Internet should join the Web site and submit their business license. The service is available for visas 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
It provides a database of overseas talent by country or fields, but the companies do not have to recruit foreigners from within this.
