🇰🇷 Visas & Immigration — South Korea

Visa Details

South Korea offers a D-8 Corporate Investment visa for foreign entrepreneurs who invest at least KRW 100 million in a Korean company. The visa is initially granted for one to two years and is renewable. The D-8-4 Startup visa is available for founders accepted into a Korean government-designated startup incubator or accelerator, with a lower capital requirement. Korea launched a Digital Nomad visa (Workcation visa) in 2024, allowing remote workers earning above a specified threshold to stay for up to two years. The F-2 Points-based Residence visa offers long-term residence based on a scoring system that considers income, age, Korean language ability, and education. There is no dedicated golden visa program.
