Public Business

The Immigrant Investor Scheme for Public Business is the government program that allows foreigners who satisfy the investment requirements designated by the Minister of Justice to obtain F-2 resident and F-5 Permanent Resident status. For instance, those that have invested the minimum investment amounts or more in Korea and their families will be granted F-2 Resident status, and if they successfully maintain the investments for the next 5 years, they will, also, be granted permanent residency.

  • The Preliminary Evaluation helps the investment process go smoothly and assesses a potential foreign investor’s eligibility for the status of stay in Korea in advance.

  • You open a new bank account for a wire transfer of your investment money.

  • You will receive the support for visa application and entry to Korea

  • Once you have properly made your investments after arriving in Korea, you will have to change your status to F-2 Resident.

The investor, his/her spouse and unmarried children will be granted F-2 Resident status him/her to freely leave/enter, work, run a business and study in Korea. Also, if the investor maintains the investments for 5 years, he/she will be granted F-5 Permanent Resident status.
