Übersicht

The D-7 visa is issued to employees of multinational corporations who are being transferred to work at a Korean branch, affiliate, or subsidiary of their overseas employer. It is the standard visa for intracompany transferees and requires that the applicant has worked at the overseas entity for at least 1 year before the transfer.

Für wen ist das D-7-Visum?

Managers, executives, and specialists employed by a multinational company for at least 1 year who are being transferred to the company's Korean office, branch, or subsidiary. Common in global consulting firms, financial institutions, technology companies, and manufacturing conglomerates with Korean operations.

Berechtigungsanforderungen

  • Employed by the overseas entity of the multinational for at least 1 year prior to transfer

  • The overseas employer and the Korean entity must have a qualifying corporate relationship (parent-subsidiary, branch, affiliate)

  • Position in Korea must be managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge-based

  • Bachelor's degree or higher, OR at least 5 years of relevant professional experience

  • No criminal record

Risiken für Verzögerung und Ablehnung

Was kann bei D-7 schiefgehen?

Business-investor cases are document-heavy because immigration reviews both the legal investment route and the real business activity.

Mein Risiko prüfen

Investment source or remittance trail is unclear

D-8 review can stall when the investment amount, sender, receiving company, bank trail, foreign-exchange documents, or investor identity do not line up cleanly.

Grundlage im Handbuch: The D-8 manual references investment funds, remittance/payment evidence, foreign-investment registration, and related supporting documents.

The business appears inactive or only nominal

Company registration alone is not enough. Thin operating records, no real business activity, or weak continuity evidence can invite additional review.

Grundlage im Handbuch: The stay manual includes D-8 extension and business-continuity review points for investor status management.

The business category is restricted or mismatched

Some industries or business structures are restricted or do not fit the claimed D-8 route. A filing built around the wrong route can be refused or redirected.

Grundlage im Handbuch: The D-8 sections refer to restricted industries and cases where the applicant is not considered essential management or production-technology personnel.

Startup evidence does not match the founder route

If relying on a technology startup pathway, OASIS, IP, corporate setup, and founder activity evidence must support the specific route claimed.

Grundlage im Handbuch: The manual separates investor and technology-startup founder pathways and lists different documentary expectations.
