Hello!
I am on my second consecutive year working for a Korean company and want to start applying for the F2 Visa.
My income was 37 million and my current company is trading on KOSPI. I have level 5 topik score.
I would like to know that I am eligible to apply. Could you let me know how long this usually takes
Answer
Thank you for your inquiry.
This is David Lee who is person in charge of F2-7 Visa.
I would like to explain the eligibility of F2-7 Visa according to your information.
Eligible applicants
-Professionals who have stayed legally and continuously for 3 years or more with a professional status such as E-7-1 (E-1 to E-7-1, or D-5 to D-9)
Exemption from the 3-year requirement and other categories
1. Yearly income of 40 million won or more (the 3-year requirement is waived)
2. Master's degree or higher obtained in Korea (international student talent category: employed within 5 years of the degree)
3. Employed by a company listed on KOSPI or KOSDAQ (listed-company category)
Point system visa
Anyone with over 80 points could be able to apply for F2-7 visa
Main point – age, income, education, major, korean language ability (TOPIK or KIIP)
Extra point – QS top ranking 500 university, community service, government recommendation etc
Although you have been working for only 2 years with E7 visa, you may apply for F2-7 Visa under the listed-company category (the 3-year requirement does not apply)
since your company is a listed company, provided that you reach at least 80 points.
The time needed to prepare documents and for the review varies by case; please check with the competent Immigration Office.
You need to know that it will take more time if you have never submitted degree certificate and criminal background certificate with apostille.
Please let me know if you want to proceed further.
