We got married (registering the marriage in Korea)

국제결혼 혼인신고

Foreigners who married a Korean national, and couples who married abroad first and now want to register it in Korea

Sometimes an agent can do this for you. Ask us and we will check.
🔴 The marriage has to be registered before you can apply for the F-6 visa. The documents required differ from country to country so checking in advance is essential, and if you already married abroad you have to report it in Korea within 3 months. The person filing has to appear in person, which limits how much can be done for you.

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.
