Situation Matrix: What Determines Your Residency Outcome

Situation	Immigration View	Risk Level
Active parenting in Korea	Strong justification	Low
Financial support only	Partial justification	Medium
No involvement	No justification	High

Authority Logic: What Immigration Actually Evaluates

Immigration focuses on whether the parent plays a real role in the child’s life. Legal documentation, school records, and shared residence are key evidence.

Exact Action Plan

Register child and parent relationship officially
Maintain consistent residence records
Collect proof of daily involvement
Consult immigration before visa expiration

Professional Warning

Simply having a child in Korea does not automatically grant residency rights.
