The main requirement for D8 visa extension is business performance. This is because the D8 visa is an investment visa for business in Korea, and if you don’t have a business track record, the immigration office may conclude that you entered the country for other purposes without the intention of doing business.
If you are applying for a D8 visa extension, a strong business record is not a big deal, and you will be granted a longer period of stay. However, when extending the D8 visa, it becomes a problem if there is no business performance.
Like everyone else, it’s not easy to get results in the early days of a business. Depending on the type of business, some companies have no business track record at all, which is why immigration offices are a bit lenient on them for the first year. However, even in this case, you must submit a statement of reason for the sluggish business or documentary evidence showing your willingness to continue the business.
D8 visa extension application documents can be submitted from 4 months before the expiration date to the expiration date. You can apply at the right time based on your business performance and when you travel abroad.
When applying for a D8 visa extension, you will need to submit many documents such as company establishment documents, tax payment documents, and performance-related documents, so please prepare and check them in advance.
