I am currently in Korea on an E-3 researcher visa, and my ARC is valid until February 28, 2027. I came to Korea in November 2022 and have continuously stayed on E-3 status. I have a foreign PhD in Computer Science/AI and currently work full-time as a researcher/research professor at Hallym University. My current annual salary is about 47 million KRW.

I would like to check whether I may be eligible for F-5 permanent residency, especially under F-5-9 overseas PhD/high-tech field or F-5-11 special talent route.

Could you please advise:

1. Which F-5 category is most suitable for my case?
2. Is KIIP/TOPIK required or exempt for this route?
3. Is my current salary enough, or do I need income above GNI?
4. Do I need a criminal background certificate from my home country?
5. What documents are needed from my professor/Hallym University?
6. What is your consultation fee and full service fee if I proceed?

Thank you.

My husband is Korean national and we have been married for over 3 years. I would like to apply for F-5 next year, but it is very likely that my husband will be employed and receiving his paycheck by a company abroad (USA). Is it still possible to apply and receive the visa?

Thank you and have a nice day!
