Current pathway note
South Korea has F-5 permanent-resident status, but eligibility varies substantially by subcategory and residence history. A work visa alone should not be presented as automatic PR. Highly selective talent and investor routes can have separate progression rules.
No guarantee: STC can assess and guide your route, but government authorities control invitations, nominations, sponsorship decisions, visas and permanent-residence/settlement approvals.
