The F-2 visa is most commonly used as a spousal visa, but is simply a residence visa. The visa is defined as follows:
- This visa category is available to individuals (including spouse and children) who have continuously lived with their permanent address in the Republic of Korea.
You will need the following documents (excepting those pertaining to marriage who are not applying as a spouse):
- Spouse's birth certificate (Joomin deungrok deungbon - 주민등록등본)
- Family tree certificate (Hojeok deungbon - 호적등본)
- Reference certificate (Shinwon bojeungseo - 신원보증서) <signed and stamped by lawyer>
- Spouse's job certificate (Jaejik jeungmyoung seo 재직증명서)
- Marriage certificate (접수증)
- Your and spouse's ID card
- Your passport
- 80,000 won worth of stamps (50,000 for change of visa, 30,000 for F2)
Some people have said that they were required to show proof that they have at least 30 million won in their bank accounts while others were not asked for this.
