I want to bring someone from abroad over to Korea

사증발급인정서 발급 신청 (초청)

Korean companies, institutions and families inviting a foreigner (E-7 hiring, research and training invitations, and so on)

An administrative agent can do this for you.
The certificate is valid for 3 months and can only be used for one visa issuance. After the certificate comes through, the person still has to get the visa themselves at the Korean embassy or consulate where they are, and that fee is separate.

We'll tell you when we contact you
Where you file it
The Immigration Office (출입국·외국인청) that covers the inviter's address, or HiKorea online (하이코리아)
Papers you usually need
  • Application for a Certificate of Visa Issuance Confirmation (사증발급인정 신청서)
  • A letter explaining why you are inviting the person
  • Documents on the inviter's identity and status (business registration certificate, proof of employment)
  • Copy of the invited person's passport and a photo
  • Documents for the visa type (employment contract, family relation certificate, etc.)

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.
