List of advantages of South Korea F5 visa

Applying for permanent residence in South Korea has the "inconvenience" of [higher standards, stricter review, and longer period], so why do people still apply one after another? And take a look at the list of advantages of South Korea's F5 visa.

1. The benefits of permanent residence in South Korea

Although it is difficult to apply for permanent residence, there are still many people applying for the main reasons as follows:

① No residence time Period

Once you apply for permanent residence, there is no visa period, and you can stay in Korea indefinitely without the need for extension. Moreover, after leaving South Korea, you only need to come to South Korea once and stay for one day within 2 years to continue to maintain your permanent residence. This is different from the permanent residence rights in European and American countries.

② No restrictions on employment

Once you apply for permanent residence, there are no restrictions on employment, whether it is simple manual labor or business operations. Although the F-4 visa also has a wide range of employment options, it cannot engage in simple manual labor, which is worse than permanent residence.

③ Not easily deported

Other visas will be deported once they violate Korean laws and are punished to a certain extent. However, except for particularly serious crimes stipulated in Korean law, under normal circumstances, permanent residence rights will not be easily revoked and deported to the country. Even if the permanent residence rights may be revoked due to illegal violations, the permanent residence rights can basically be maintained as long as timely remedial measures are taken.
