D-8-3 Investor visa basic requirements
The D-8-3 investment visa is to invest in a company run by a Korean in the form of a partnership.
basic requirements
- The investment target must be a company run by Korean citizens.
- The investment amount is 100 million won or more, owns 10/100 or more of the total stock of the invested company, and is listed as a joint representative with a Korean on the business registration certificate.
- The business capital of the people who are joint operators must be 100 million won or more.
Considerations
- The basic requirements are the same as for the D-8-1 Investor Visa.
- A company run by a Korean should be changed to a “foreign-invested corporation”.
- The name of the sender, the source of funds, and the sincerity of the business are also subject to major screening.
