Common questions
What must an F-3 family member check before working in Korea?
F-3 does not itself authorize ordinary employment. A work-authorized status or separate permission should be reviewed before work begins.
How does the principal holder's extension or change affect the family?
Dependent stay is linked to the principal holder, so extension, status change and departure plans should be managed together.
This page explains general review points. The applicable route, required evidence and filing location depend on the applicant's nationality, history, company or family relationship and circumstances at the time of filing.
