Korean Nationality

The legal experts at Pureum Law Office, based in Seoul and Pyeongtaek, are here to help you navigate the Nationality Act of South Korea, which outlines requirements for acquiring citizenship in the Republic of Korea (ROK). We note that Korean citizenship comes with certain obligations, such as compulsory military service for all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 35, including naturalized citizens, with at least 18 months of service required.

Navigating the process of obtaining or renouncing Korean citizenship can be complex, particularly for those unfamiliar with the legal procedures and cultural expectations.

At Pureum Law Office, our legal experts specialize in nationality and immigration law and are well-equipped to guide clients through every step of the process. We provide tailored advice to help you understand your eligibility, gather the necessary documentation, and meet all legal requirements efficiently and effectively.

Our goal at PLO is to provide clear guidance, ensuring that your path to Korean citizenship is as smooth and straightforward as possible. Trust our experienced team to help you navigate South Korea’s nationality laws with confidence.
