D7 Visa: expatriate employee dispatch visa procedure and preparation documents (1)

Guidance to applying for D7 visa

Since the D7 visa is called a dispatch visa, many people are confused about the use of the term. Before applying for the D7 visa, you should check the relationship between the head office and the branch in detail.

  1. If a foreign head office has established a branch in Korea, there is something called “Certificate of Establishment of Domestic Branch of Foreign Company”. If you have this, it is correct to apply for a D7 visa.
  2. If the foreign head office creates a separate corporation in Korea and registers it as a “foreign-invested company,” you must apply for a D8 dispatch visa.

In order to prevent indiscriminate visa applications, the D7 visa is subjected to strict screening based on the applicant’s length of service, position, company requirements, etc., so there are many documents to prepare and it is difficult to obtain approval compared to other visas.
