 I've been accused of a sex crime. How does that affect my visa?

A Answer

Sex offense allegations carry some of the most serious immigration consequences in Korea. Beyond the sentence itself, a conviction can bring additional measures such as registration or employment restrictions, and immigration treats these cases with particular strictness. For English teachers and others in regulated jobs, even an investigation can create employment problems. Early, careful handling of the first interview is critical.
