Guidelines for Korean Nationality Status Check
*This section pertains only to individuals of Korean heritage who have turned 22-years-old after May 4th, 2010.
I. DETERMINING WHETHER YOU HAVE KOREAN CITIZENSHIP
Regardless of your birthplace and current citizenship, you hold Korean citizenship if your father was a Korean citizen or
Permanent Resident of Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the U.K. or the U.S. at the time of your birth.
Please verify your Korean citizenship status with the Korean Embassy/Consulate in the country of your residence.
A.
If the Korean Embassy/Consulate determines that you hold Korean citizenship, you can enter Korea on a Korean
passport. Please seek consultation from the Korean Embassy/Consulate about obtaining a Korean passport. If you wish to
enter on a passport of your current residence, you must first file a nationality renunciation report. Please see
“Retaining/Renouncing Your Korean citizenship” section below for an overview of the eligibility criteria.
B.
If the Korean Embassy/Consulate determines that you DO NOT hold Korean citizenship, you must consult the Korean
Embassy/Consulate about obtaining an appropriate visa (E2-2 or F-4).

Associate’s degree holder.

- If you meet the requirement for the E2-2 visa, you are also eligible for the F-4 visa. Please see
the E2-2 visa section above.
II. RETAINING/RENOUNCING YOUR KOREAN CITIZENSHIP
If it is determined that you hold Korean citizenship, you have the option to retain or renounce your Korean citizenship. By retaining it,
you can arrange to enter on a Korean passport; and by renouncing it, you can arrange to enter on an E2-2 or F-4 visa. If you cannot
renounce your Korean citizenship, you must obtain a Korean passport. Please refer to general guidelines below and consult with
the Korean Embassy/Consulate for further directions as necessary.
Females: Before turning the age of 22, you have the option to keep or renounce your Korean citizenship. Please refer to “Section
I.B.” above. Your citizenship status will not affect the duration of your TaLK scholarship term.
Males: By March 31st of the year you turn 18, you have the option to keep or renounce your Korean citizenship. After the
aforementioned date, you are NOT eligible to file for Korean Nationality Renunciation unless you have fulfilled Korean
military duty or have been waived from serving in the military. If you have neither fulfilled Korean military service nor received
a waiver for it, you can only participate in the TaLK Program for six (6) months and the extension of your TaLK scholarship will not
be granted.
