Übersicht

The A-2 visa is issued to foreign government officials (non-diplomatic rank) and staff of international organizations approved by the Korean government who are stationed in or visiting Korea on official business. This includes officials sent under bilateral government agreements, staff of UN agencies, OECD, and other recognized international bodies. Unlike A-1, A-2 holders do not have full diplomatic immunity.

Für wen ist das A-2-Visum?

Foreign government staff below diplomatic rank sent to Korea on official assignment, and employees of international organizations (UN, OECD, WHO, World Bank, etc.) stationed in Korea. Also includes staff of foreign trade and government promotion offices with official recognition from Korea.

A-2-Visum — häufig gestellte Fragen

A-1 is for full diplomats with diplomatic immunity under the Vienna Convention (ambassadors, counsellors, etc.). A-2 is for government officials of lower rank and international organization staff who are on official assignment but do not hold diplomatic rank. A-2 holders have limited official protections, not full diplomatic immunity.

In limited cases, yes — under the same reciprocal employment agreements that apply to A-1 families. Eligibility depends on whether Korea has a reciprocal arrangement with the official's home country.

A-2 covers staff of international organizations formally recognized by the Korean government (UN, OECD, WHO, etc.). Staff of foreign NGOs not on the official recognition list would need to apply for a different visa category (typically E-7 or D-7).
