Is buying a house in Korea equal to naturalization?

Hello, it doesn't mean there is a difference between Korean immigration and naturalization.

South Korean immigrants follow the immigration policy, such as Jeju Island real estate investment immigration policy, that is, if you invest more than 500,000 US dollars or 500 million won in Jeju Island, you can get an F2 visa. After five years, if there is no bad record, investors, their spouses and children can obtain permanent residency, that is, green cards. However, the nationality is still China.

Naturalization is different. Immigrants from China have obtained green cards, but their nationality has not changed. They are still from China and their visas are from China. In other words, although holding a green card can enjoy the rights and interests of Korean citizens in housing, medical care, education, etc., issues such as visas are still the same as those in China.

If you really need visa-free access to so many countries, then you must apply for naturalization, that is to say, give up China nationality and join Korean nationality. With a green card, it will be easier to apply for naturalization. After naturalization, they will enjoy the same treatment as Korean citizens. However, you should think twice before you change your nationality.

I hope it helps you. :-D
