I paid the fine , is it possible to extend my period of stay ?

We recently received a consultation from Mr. M , a migrant worker . After signing a 1 year and 10 month re-employment contract with the employer and receiving confirmation from the employment center , I applied for permission to extend the period of stay at the immigration office, but requested assistance, saying I was notified of rejection . When I checked , I found out that Mr. M had been fined 1.5 million won for driving without a license a few months ago . This fact is bound to be notified to the immigration office , but they are not notified afterwards whether or not the fine has been paid . Therefore, when Mr. M applied for permission to extend his period of stay , he should have also submitted a certificate of payment of the fine . Accordingly , we informed Mr. M that he must visit the local prosecutor's office, obtain a certificate of fine payment , and submit it to the immigration office. Shortly thereafter, he received news that his period of stay had been extended . |
Since we often receive inquiries similar to this case , we would like to provide related information in the future .
First , if a foreigner staying in the country violates the law and is subject to criminal punishment , the immigration office will be notified of this fact . Afterwards , the immigration office will review and decide whether to grant the foreigner a stay permit based on the relevant processing standards . In other words, depending on the nature of the crime , whether it is habitual , whether a fine has been paid , whether there are humanitarian reasons, etc., the person may be required to leave the country , or permission to stay may be granted after a warning .
In this regard , we provide information on the generally known ' departure measures standards ' . If you need related consultation, please contact us at any time .
