F-4 to F-5 Permanent Residency Approved Despite Past DUI Record

F-4 to F-5 Permanent Residency Approved Despite Past DUI Record

 Law Firm Dongju 법무법인 동주 

A Chinese national holding an F-4 (Overseas Korean) visa had been living and working in Korea for over 5 years. Despite a past DUI charge that resulted in a ₩3,000,000 fine, he hoped to upgrade his visa status to F-5 permanent residency.

Worried that the prior conviction might block the application, he consulted Dongju Law Firm.

Dongju’s legal team thoroughly documented the client’s employment stability, tax records, pension contributions, and upcoming marriage to a Korean partner. They also submitted mitigating details about the DUI incident, emphasizing the absence of harm, the passage of time, and the client’s clean record since.

✅ The result? His F-5 visa was approved, and he now resides in Korea with permanent resident status.
