Visa pathway
- • F-2-R visa linkage: both the workplace and the dormitory are in Taean — an F-2-R-eligible county. Eligibility follows your actual workplace and residence, so here you work and live in the same eligible county. You are guided through the F-2-R application route.
- • F-5 (permanent residency) route: a degree from a Korean university or higher, 3+ years of employment, and previous-year income at or above 1x GNI per capita. The Caddy HRD Institute guides you through the F-5 application route.
- • GNI per capita was about KRW 49.95M for 2024. Around KRW 5,000,000 a month — roughly KRW 60M a year — clears that.
- • Visa change fees are paid by the applicant.
