Today, I will post about a case where I invited employees from a foreign investment company in Gangnam, for which I had previously applied for a visa.
The inviting company is a Dutch foreign investment company, and this time they invited two German foreign employees with a D-8 visa, and also invited their children with an F-3 visa.
As I posted before, it is not always necessary to invite foreign professionals with an E7 visa in a foreign investment company, but it is also possible to invite them with a D8 investment visa.
However, there is a condition.
This is only possible when a foreign local corporation (headquarters) that has invested in Korea and established a foreign investment corporation (branch) sends employees of that foreign corporation (headquarters).
※ If the corporation has subsidiaries, it is also possible to invite employees of those subsidiaries.
If a corporation in a foreign country did not establish a foreign investment corporation in Korea, but an individual in a foreign country established a foreign investment corporation in Korea, it is not possible to invite employees with a D8 visa.
Also, in principle, if the initial capital is 100 million or more, you can invite one person per 100 million from that amount.
To give an easy example, if there is a foreign investment corporation established with an initial capital of 500 million, at least one person would have come to Korea with a D8 visa, right??
In this case, 100 million for that one person has already been recognized for visa issuance, so for the remaining 400 million, one person can be invited per 100 million.
In addition, the foreign investment corporation would have naturally generated sales as it conducted business activities in Korea, right??
In this case, you can invite one person for every 1 billion in sales and one person for every 100 million in tax performance.
In this case, the two employees invited with a D8 visa were a married couple.
The company invited the two spouses, each with a D8 visa.
※ Because both are company employees, they had to work. If only one was invited with a D8 and the spouse was invited with an F3, the spouse could not work with the F3 visa, so each spouse was invited with a D8 visa.
And they invited the couple's two children with an F-3 visa.
However, there was a little problem when inviting the children.
There was no problem with the second child because it was a child born between the couple being invited, but the first child was a child born while the mother was cohabiting with another man when she was an unwed mother.
In such a case, a court judgment from the local court is required to show that the mother has custody of the first child.
In this case, the mother and the ex-boyfriend, not the current husband, jointly had custody. So, they obtained an apostille of the court judgment that proves they have joint custody, and the agreement that the ex-boyfriend could take the child to Korea, and submitted it to the immigration office as an attachment.
The immigration officer also nodded and accepted the application without any objections.
I think it will be issued without any trouble.
The company is a famous foreign investment corporation with no problems on paper, and there is nothing wrong with the degrees or resumes of the applicants being invited with a D8.
