The government is considering allowing dual citizenship for foreign experts and Koreans who have completed the mandatory military service in an attempt to prevent a brain drain and to attract talented professionals.

The government began discussing a proposal to allow dual citizenship for both Koreans and foreigners if they meet certain criteria, the Justice Ministry said yesterday. Á¤ºÎ´Â Çѱ¹ÀλӸ¸ ¾Æ´Ï¶ó ¿Ü±¹Àεµ ÀÏÁ¤ Á¶°ÇÀÌ ÃæÁ·µÇ¸é, ÀÌÁß ±¹ÀûÀ» Çã¿ëÇÏÀÚ´Â Á¦¾ÈÀ» ³íÀÇÇϱ⠽ÃÀÛÇß´Ù°í ¾îÁ¦ ¹ý¹«ºÎ°¡ ¹àÇû´Ù.


Easing the nationality law was on the agenda at a meeting yesterday of a special committee on policies for foreigners. ±¹Àû¹ý ¿ÏÈ­´Â ¾îÁ¦ ¿­¸° ¿Ü±¹ÀÎ Á¤Ã¥ Ưº°À§¿øȸÀÇ ¾È°ÇÀ̾ú´Ù.


The Justice Ministry said the measure was discussed at a second policy meeting on foreigners, which was presided over by Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and attended by ministers and civic experts. ¹ý¹«ºÎ´Â Àå°ü°ú ¹Î°£ Àü¹®°¡µéÀÌ Âü¼®ÇÑ ÇÑ´ö¼ö ÃѸ® ÁÖÀçÀÇ Á¦2Â÷ ¿Ü±¹ÀÎ Á¤Ã¥ ȸÀÇ¿¡¼­ ±× °°Àº Á¶Ä¡°¡ ³íÀÇµÆ´Ù°í ¹àÇû´Ù. 


Prime Minister Han presided over the meeting at Cheong Wa Dae. It was the second such meeting since May last year, when the government first formed the foreigner policy committee composed of 17 Cabinet ministers and seven members from the private sector.

The committee agreed to further discuss allowing dual nationality for those meeting certain requirements - namely Koreans fulfilling the mandatory military service, and foreigners with proven professional expertise, officials said.

Along with non-Korean foreign residents who want to obtain Korean nationality in addition to their original citizenship, many ethnic Koreans holding foreign passports have sought dual nationality. ¿ø·¡ ±¹Àû°ú ÇÔ²² Çѱ¹ ±¹ÀûÀ» Ãß°¡·Î ÃëµæÇϱ⠿øÇÏ´Â ¿Ü±¹¿¡ °ÅÁÖÇÏ´Â ºñ Çѱ¹Àΰú ÇÔ²², ¿Ü±¹ ¿µÁÖ±ÇÀ» °¡Áö°í ÀÖ´Â ¸¹Àº Çѱ¹ µ¿Æ÷µéÀÌ ÀÌÁß±¹ÀûÀ» ¹Ù·¡¿Ô´Ù.


Under the current law, Koreans who obtained dual nationality when they were younger than 20 have to relinquish one nationality before they become 22 years old. If they obtained the dual status after the age of 20, they should give up one within two years.

Foreigners are also required to discard their original nationality within six months of naturalization. ¶ÇÇÑ ¿Ü±¹ÀÎÀÇ °æ¿ì´Â ±¹Àû Ãëµæ 6°³¿ù ³»¿¡ ¿ø·¡ÀÇ ±¹ÀûÀ» ¹ö¸± °ÍÀÌ ¿ä±¸µÈ´Ù.


The prohibition has been blamed for an increasing number of citizens, especially gifted manpower, dropping their Korean nationality in favor of foreign citizenship. ±× °°Àº Á¦ÇÑÀº Áõ°¡ÇÏ´Â ±¹Àû ÃëµæÀÚÀÇ ¼ýÀÚ ¶§¹®¿¡ ºñ³­À» ¹Þ¾Æ¿Ô°í ¿Ü±¹ ±¹ÀûÀ» ¼±È£ÇÏ´Â Çѱ¹ÀÎÀÇ ±¹ÀûÀ» »ó½Ç½ÃÄÑ¿Ô´Ù.
