I want to bring my husband, my wife, my children or my parents to Korea

동반(F-3)·방문동거(F-1) 가족 초청 및 체류

Spouses and minor children of long-term residents on D-1 to D-9 and E-1 to E-7 (F-3). Parents of marriage migrants, family of permanent residents and overseas Koreans, and relatives of Korean nationals (F-1).

An administrative agent can do this for you.
🔴 Statuses such as E-9 (Employment Permit System) and H-2 are not allowed to bring family. The first thing to check is whether your own status can bring anyone. F-3 and F-1 holders in principle cannot work, and to work they have to get separate permission for activity outside their status.

Leave a question

Just leave one way to reach you. We check it, pass it to an administrative agent, and the agent contacts you directly.

We only take your request and pass it to an administrative agent. You pay us nothing.

The more you write, the faster the agent can answer you.

It does not have to be a Korean number. Choose the country in the box before this one, and write only the number here.

We do not check what you write, and we do not report it to anyone. We do not tell employers either.

The year and month you are allowed to stay until. Look for the period of stay on your ARC (foreigner ID card), not the card's issue date. It is fine if you are not sure.

The contract has to be signed face to face, so we ask where you live only to connect you with an agent near you.

More options Optional

What you write and your contact go only to the administrative agent handling this. We do not tell your employer. The agent tells you the cost directly.
