Frequently asked questions
How does the legal form of the Korean operation affect the visa route?
A foreign-company branch and a separate Korean corporation are not treated the same. The corporate relationship must be reviewed before choosing D-7 or another route.
How should the employee's overseas experience connect to the Korean assignment?
The applicant's prior role and expertise should explain why the Korean operation needs that person for the proposed duties.
