Bongjik Kim - Merits Law Office appears in the October 2025 immigration-lawyer directory published by the Korean Bar Association. The source connects the practitioner with a Seoul office and lists language support including English. Passports Forum uses that public record to identify the practice, while leaving service quality and results to direct client evidence.
The KBA listing associates this practitioner with Immigration Law, Residency and Visa Status, Refugee and Asylum Law, Foreign Investment, Deportation and Immigration Offenses, International Family Law. Before relying on the profile, ask whether the office handles the precise visa, residence, nationality, refugee, or foreign-national matter involved and whether another professional will perform part of the work. The engagement letter should identify filing tasks, exclusions, expected milestones, and charges outside the quoted legal fee.
Nationality applications are governed by Korea's Nationality Act and use requirements distinct from visa extensions or permanent residence filings. A person considering Bongjik Kim in Seoul should confirm current eligibility, the correct immigration office or online channel, document-validity rules, and whether counsel will handle requests for supplementation or refusal review.
Passports Forum presents this profile as a research starting point, not a recommendation. Community feedback should describe the service purchased, communication continuity, quoted and final charges, filing support, and the practical outcome without making claims beyond direct experience.
