Who This Is For

  • Foreign investors planning to invest in and manage a Korean company
  • Founders reviewing technology-startup or startup visa pathways
  • Clients preparing company incorporation and D-8 procedures together
  • Clients changing an existing business or investment structure and reviewing its immigration implications

FAQ

D-8 business visa support questions

What can Modical help a D-8 representative with after setup?

A D-8 representative may need support beyond the visa itself, including corporate banking, foreign-investment administration, tax and bookkeeping coordination, payroll and social-insurance administration, corporate changes, intellectual-property filings, visa extensions or changes, and document management. Modical organizes your schedules and messages. Your professional determines any regulated work.

Does using Modical guarantee visa approval?

No. Modical provides general information and practical coordination. Immigration decisions are made by the competent authority.

Where can I review detailed D-8 eligibility requirements?

This page explains Modical's business-support service. The linked Modical D-8 page provides a general summary. Confirm current requirements through the official sources cited there.

Can company incorporation and D-8 preparation be coordinated together?

Yes. Company structure, investment procedures, and D-8 preparation are often connected. Reviewing them together can help establish the correct sequence and identify the information required for each workstream.
