Frequently Asked Questions
Is your certified translation accepted by embassies and government offices?
Yes. Our certified translations carry a registered translator's seal and signed accuracy statement, the format Korean government offices, courts, and most foreign embassies require.
Full guideWhat's the difference between an apostille and consular legalization?
An apostille is a single-step certification valid in any Hague Convention member country. Consular legalization is a multi-step process (Ministry of Foreign Affairs + the destination country's embassy) required for non-member countries.
Full guideDo I need a company set up in Korea before applying for a D-8 visa?
Yes — the D-8 investor visa requires a registered Korean company with the qualifying foreign investment already reported. We can set both up alongside the visa filing.
Full guideCan a foreigner own 100% of a Korean company?
In most industries, yes. Certain restricted sectors have foreign ownership caps — tell us your business type and we'll confirm.
Full guideCan I open a Korean bank account without an alien registration card?
It depends on your visa status and the bank — some branches will open a limited-function account for short-term visa holders or those with a real estate registration number in process. We'll identify which option fits your situation.
Full guideWho qualifies for the F-1-D digital nomad visa?
Foreign nationals in Korea on a short-term B-1, B-2, or C-3 status (or another status meeting the requirements) who own or remotely work for a business based outside Korea, have worked in that field for at least 1 year, and are 18 or older — plus their accompanying family.
Full guideDo I have to visit the notary office myself?
Usually not. As your authorized filing agent, we can complete most notarizations without you appearing in person — a signed power of attorney from you is typically all that's needed.
Full guideHow do I know if my destination country needs consular legalization instead of an apostille?
If the country is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, it requires consular legalization. Tell us the destination country and document type and we'll confirm the exact requirement.
Full guideWhat is the minimum investment amount to qualify as an FDI in Korea?
The Foreign Investment Promotion Act sets a minimum threshold per investor; we'll confirm the current figure and whether your planned investment qualifies before filing.
Full guideWhen in the property-buying process should I apply for this number?
As early as possible — ideally as soon as you have a signed contract or are seriously considering a property, since the registry filing at closing can't proceed without it.
Full guideIs embassy legalization the same as consular legalization?
They are two halves of one process. Consular legalization is the whole chain — Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmation first, then the destination country's embassy. Embassy legalization is the second step, done at the embassy in Seoul.
