Immigration and Nationality Services Center
The number of foreign residents in Korea reached 2.65 million as of August 2024—an increase of 9% compared to the previous year. As the numbers continue to rise in the global era, the Korean government has been promoting the establishment of an “Immigrant Office” to address the issue of population decline and comprehensively manage immigration policies. Accordingly, the legal framework concerning entry and departure, sojourn, and nationality is evolving in tandem with these developments, with a rising number of cases and disputes involving the infringement on the rights and interests of nationals and foreigners. DR & AJU’s Immigration and Nationality Service Center is led by a team of professionals, including a former Commissioner of Korea Immigration Service, lawyers specializing in international and cross-border matters, and a senior advisor with over 30 years of experience in immigration policy and practice at the Ministry of Justice. We provide optimal solutions for a wide range of administrative and legal issues related to domestic entry and departure, sojourn, nationality, and immigration, aiming for 100% client satisfaction.
