Korea Visa Application Guide by Licensed Administrative Attorney — Selecting the right Korean visa and preparing the right documents is crucial. VISION ARC, a licensed administrative law firm in Seoul, guides foreign applicants through every visa category since 2010.

Visa Overview

Every visa application starts with identifying the right category — work, investment, study, family, or residency. Misclassifying the visa is the most common cause of denials. A licensed attorney reviews your situation, prepares submission packages, and represents you with Korea Immigration when needed.

Eligibility Requirements

Each visa has different requirements: D-8 needs KRW 100M investment; E-7 needs degree + experience; F-2-7 uses a points system; F-6 requires Korean spouse; F-5 requires 5 years of qualified stay.

Required Documents

Required documents typically include: passport copy, visa application form, color photo (3.5×4.5cm), business registration certificate (or employer documents), employment contract, education and career proof, and supporting financials. Specific documents vary by visa category — VISION ARC verifies completeness for each case.

Application Process

Process: 1) Initial consultation and visa category confirmation 2) Document preparation and translation 3) Apply at consulate (overseas) or immigration office (in Korea) 4) Receive visa and enter Korea 5) ARC registration within 90 days 6) Compliance and renewals.
