I've split up with my Korean spouse but I want to stay in Korea

혼인단절자 체류(F-6-3) 자격 변경·연장

Marriage migrants whose marriage ended through the spouse's death or disappearance, or through the spouse's fault. Also people raising a child who is a Korean national.

An administrative agent can do this for you.
🔴 Getting divorced does not automatically take your status away. But you do need evidence that it was not your fault, and that gets harder to gather as time passes, so get advice right after you separate. Victims of domestic violence have a separate protection procedure.

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 doesn't have to be a Korean number. Pick the country, then type the number. The administrative agent will contact you on this number.

It's the first thing the administrative agent asks on the first call. Filling it in saves a call back.

We don't check what you write and we don't report it anywhere. It goes only to the agent who takes your question.

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.

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.
