D-8 Visa Korea and Legal Support for Foreign Investors
D-8 Visa Korea is the primary investor visa for foreign nationals who wish to establish and operate a business in South Korea through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Successfully obtaining and maintaining a D-8 visa requires more than capital investment—it demands strict compliance with Korean immigration law, corporate regulations, and ongoing business obligations.
Pureum Law Office provides comprehensive legal support to foreign entrepreneurs and companies seeking the D-8 Visa Korea, guiding clients through every stage of business establishment, visa issuance, and long-term corporate operation. Since 2014, our firm has handled over 100 FDI and D-8-related matters, helping foreign investors enter the Korean market with confidence and legal certainty.
Legal Requirements for the D-8 Visa Korea
To qualify for the D-8 Visa Korea, foreign investors must complete a legally compliant FDI structure, including:
- Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) reporting with a designated Korean bank
- Capital remittance meeting statutory thresholds
