Agreement Visa In Korea

If you have any other visa issues, please contact the Korean Immigration Service under www.immigration.go.kr/ The Working Holiday Visa (H-1) is issued to young foreigners in certain countries that have mutual agreements with South Korea. Holders can stay in the country for up to a year and engage in certain employment activities as well as certain educational activities. However, the main purpose of the trip is the holiday. People between the ages of 18 and 25 or 30 are eligible for a South Korean work visa, depending on the country. A working holiday visa holder cannot be used in certain professions such as receptionist, dancer, singer, musician, acrobat or in entertainment venues where they can endanger morale and good manners. [46] [47] However, after filing your visa application (in person) and if you wish your passport to be returned with the visa, please provide an express envelope (EMS stamped) addressed by yourself and paid in advance, provided by the U.S. Postal Service. If you have any questions about stamps/envelopes, please contact a local post office near you. The amount required to invest foreigners in obtaining the visa has increased over the years. In 1991, a foreign investor had to invest only 25 million won, which was increased to 50 million won in 2001. In 2010, the government announced plans to increase to an additional $100 million for a number of reasons. Because of inflation, rising cost of living and other costs, they estimated that $100 million was more representative of what was needed to start a business in Korea. However, some foreigners were also concerned that some foreigners took advantage of this visa and used it to stay permanently in Korea without really starting a business.

Once the visa was issued, the government does not keep an overview of the investment, so some foreigners used agents who provided the investment money for a tax so that they could get the visa. Concerns were expressed that this increase would not prevent the misuse of the visa and, instead, foreign investment in Korea. [57] Visa and foreign commercial property rules have been criticized for demanding a Korean guarantor, while the foreigner has invested a large sum of money and has been granted permission to open almost all the businesses he wants. [58] The Government of the Republic of Korea requires that U.S. criminal record reviews, health certificates and diplomas containing E-2 visa applications or renewals be submitted. The U.S. Embassy does not provide criminal record or fingerprint control services, nor can the Embassy authenticate records, debt certificates, transcripts or health certificates. In addition, Korean immigration no longer accepts criminal record reviews provided by online services, as offered by some U.S. states and private companies. Korean immigration only accepts a criminal record review from the FBI or a letter from the local police in your city or state of residence. You should have these documents ready before coming to Korea to inform.
