개요
The F-1 visa (방문동거 — visit and cohabitation) covers a broad range of family-related long-stay situations that do not fit the narrower F-3 (dependent companion) or F-6 (marriage migrant) categories. It is issued to relatives visiting or cohabiting with Korean residents: parents accompanying children in Korean schools, parents of outstanding talent or investors, domestic helpers of foreign diplomatic staff or high-value investors, and others with compelling personal circumstances requiring an extended stay without independent employment. F-1-D (the digital nomad visa) is a separate sub-type under the F-1 code but has its own dedicated page. F-1 holders may not engage in independent paid employment.
Notable sub-type added March 2025 — F-1-52: issued to children born from a marriage migrant's prior relationship (결혼이민자의 전혼관계 출생자녀). This allows a foreign national currently residing in Korea as an F-6 marriage migrant to invite their child from a previous relationship (a child not born to the current Korean spouse) to live in Korea. The F-1-52 sub-type was added to the official immigration guidelines effective 17 March 2025.

지연 및 거절 리스크
F-1에서 문제가 될 수 있는 부분
가족 경로 지연은 보통 민사 서류 불일치, 초청인 증빙, 관계 증명, 범죄경력 처리에서 발생합니다.
초청인 또는 관계 증빙이 약함
출입국은 가족관계와 부양 계획이 실제이며 현재 유효한지 확인할 증거를 요구할 수 있습니다.
매뉴얼 근거: 가족 체류자격 매뉴얼은 초청인, 스폰서, 관계, 세대 관련 증빙을 포함합니다.
이전 위반 또는 미해결 준법 문제가 있음
초과체류, 과태료, 무허가 근로, 세금 체납, 범죄 이력은 가족관계가 맞더라도 더 엄격한 심사를 부를 수 있습니다.
매뉴얼 근거: 체류 매뉴얼은 체류자격 제한, 법 위반 심사, 범죄경력 확인, 세금/납부 문제, 체류자격 변경 제한을 반복적으로 언급합니다.

Confirm the qualifying F-1 sub-type
