23 Thoughts to “F5 Visa in South Korea | Getting A Permanent Visa in Korea”

  1. I’ve been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good
    content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    My husband has been trying to apply for this visa but was told he didn’t qualify because he didn’t have the right GNI? Can you clarify what that is? Also, your article says spouses can combine incomes, is that true? Again, immigration told him he couldn’t rely on my income.

    I am an Army retiree and a Federal civil service retiree. I also have Veterans administration military disability compensation and social security for a combined income of over $8000 per month so I meet the income requirements. My wife and I have been married almost 33 years. My wife is a South Korean Citizen and I plan to retire in South Korea on June 28 2024. What documents do I need to receive a spouse visa? I heard my that my South Korean wife can be my sponsor in South Korea

    Does it have to be 5 consecutive years on the same visa? Or can I change visas?
    For example, what if I did 2 years on a E-2 and 3 years on an F-2?

    For the F-5-2, under the Korean language section, it’s stated that you can have it mitigated if you’ve lived in Korea for 10years. Does that have to be for 10 years on the F6 visa? I’m about 8-9 years on my F6 with about 5 on an E-2 before that. Thanks for the input.

    I want to apply for the F5-2 visa my Korean Wife still needs to apply for her F4 visa which is hard to do because we have no consulate here in Denver Colorado. My question is can I use my time living in Korea while I was in the Army and use my DD 214 for evidence of living in korea for 2 years?

    Hello!
    I’ve been married in Korea since 2021, and I’ve been living in korea since March 2015.
    Due to my work schedule I was never able to take the KIIP courses. I’m still trying to though. However, recently my husband and I discussed divorce. I built my life here for 10 years and I’m about to have it ripped away. He’s willing to help me with what I need to do from now. I was wondering if it’s possibly to change my f-6 visa to a f-5 visa. Promising that I will apply towards my kiip courses during the 5 years the visa is permitted. I have adhd and it’s very difficult for me to study too— I’m not sure if that matters or not. But is this possible at all? Thank you.
