S. Korea introduces new visa systems to attract global talent

The South Korean government has announced plans to create new visa systems to attract overseas talent and boost industrial competitiveness.

The 30th Foreign Policy Committee meeting, chaired by Acting President Choi Sang-mok on Wednesday, introduced the "Top-Tier" visa, set to be launched within this month.

This visa is designed for professionals set to work in advanced tech companies in Korea.

It guarantees an F-2 visa, a resident visa that allows employment and leads to permanent residency after three years, with benefits extended to their family members.

The new "Youth's Dream in Korea" visa offers young people opportunities for cultural experiences, internships, and work in fields such as agriculture and manufacturing.
