A work permit filing in South Korea — what translation and certification is expected?

The issue to settle here is “A work permit filing in South Korea”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. The terms that frame this page are work · permit · filing · South. The specifics here are purpose: Workpermit; destination: Kr, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. Before starting, ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. What changes the timeline most here is whether the source documents are complete on day one. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. The next step is confirming the filing channel and the copy or file format required. The standard route for a Thai document used abroad is: obtain the original or an issuer-certified copy, translate it faithfully, certify the translation, have it legalised by the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then, if the destination requires it, legalised again at that country's embassy. A financial translation must preserve figures, currency, dates, account numbers and balances exactly as printed — no rounding, no currency conversion, no summarising of transaction lines. The source date format should be kept with the Buddhist or Gregorian era stated explicitly so the receiving office cannot misread it. ILC handles document work only — translation, certification of the translation, notarial signature certification and the legalisation run at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies. ILC is not a bank, auditor or tax agent, gives no tax or investment advice, and cannot guarantee any authority's decision. Cost and lead time depend on page count, the volume of numeric tables, the target language and the certification steps required, so every file is quoted before work starts.
