D-7 Intra-company Transferee Visa
For eligible personnel dispatched from an overseas company to a Korean branch, subsidiary, liaison office, or other qualifying affiliated entity.
Visa Overview
The D-7 Visa is for qualifying personnel assigned from an overseas company to work at its Korean branch, subsidiary, liaison office, or other eligible affiliated operation. The exact route depends on the overseas entity, the Korean operating structure, the dispatch relationship, and the applicant’s role.
