Can expats claim advanced child tax credit and additional child tax credit?

Hi all, 

I have a client who live in Korea since 2020. He is contractor and uses form 25555. 

1. Last year(2021) he has received Advance child tax credit and got the letter 6419. As he has been in foreign country a whole year, he is not eligible for that, correct? In this case, does he need to repay that to the IRS?

2. After all the information input, including advance child tax credit, I noticed he has additional child tax credit which he should not be eligible as he uses form 2555 this year again. How should I solve this? I already checked the child has been out of the US more than 1/2 years. 

 

Thank you!
