[한국어 출입국 강의] F-2-99 비자 배우자 거주자격 취득 후 체류자격외활동허가

[한국어 출입국 강의] F-2-99 비자 배우자 거주자격 취득 후 체류자격외활동허가

https://youtu.be/C4B10JHND1Q


출입국관리법 시행령 제23조 제2항에는 제1호부터 제3호에 해당하는 체류자격을 가지고 있는 외국인은 장기체류 자격 구분에 따른 취업활동의 제한을 받지 않고 있습니다.


그래서 동법 시행령 제23조 제2항 제2호에 해당하고 거주(F-2) '바'목에 해당 하는 기타 장기거주비자인 F-2-99 비자를 소지하고 있으면 단순노무업종과 전문분야에 취업활동을 할 수 있게 됩니다.


다만 기존의 체류자격이 영리(D-8, D-9) 또는 취업(E-1~E-7 등) 활동에 해당하는 분야에서 영리 또는 취업을 계속하고 있는 경우에는 별도의 허가 없이 취업 활동을 할 수 있습니다.


그런데 주체류자인 F-2-99 비자의 배우자가 F-1 비자를 소지하고 있는 경우에는 F-1 비자 자체로 취업활동을 할 수 없기 때문에 F-1 배우자가 F-2-99 비자로 체류자격을 변경하더라도 취업활동을 하기 위해서는 별도의 허가가 필요하게 됩니다.


그 허가가 '체류자격 외 활동허가'입니다.


자세한 사항은 동영상을 참조하세요.


이번 강의는 조금 난이도가 있습니다.

There are several ways to invite a spouse abroad.


In general, you can invite your spouse and minor children at Korean embassy in you home country or inviting through a short term visit visa for the purpose of change of status of stay after entering Korea. 


This is general processing as you know, but is it applicable if you have F-2-99 visa? Which visa types shall you apply for inviting your spouse and minor children?


As you felt, when you who have obtained an F-2-99 visa tries to invite your spouse and minor children, it is getting complicated and unexpectedly.

F-2-7 VISA Updated Version 점수제 우수인재 (F-2-7 비자) 체류자격 변경 새로운 지침

F-2-7 VISA Updated Version 점수제 우수인재 (F-2-7 비자) 체류자격 변경 새로운 지침

Some of eligible applicants are added on a new F-2-7 VISA guideline. But it has not been released in public and only 1345 Immigration Contact Center holds it. Due to one of client’s comments, I found this new detailed and added criteria from 1345 today. Kindly review updated version of F-2-7 VISA. Point system is the same as Dec. 1, 2020 guideline but as I told you earlier, some of eligible applicants and detailed information has been added. See more details as below. Also, all applicants shall be obtained 80 points or higher except for Promising Outstanding Talented persons (Eligible person Part 5).

1. KOSPI or KODAQ listed Company Professionals:
It is the same as previous guideline such as i) making an employment contract with KOSPI or KODAQ listed company, ii) 80 points.

2. Promising Industrial Fields Professionals:
It is a newly added guideline. Promising industrial professionals refer to workers in industries such as IT, technology management, nano, digital electronics, biotechnology, transportation and machinery, new materials, environment and energy under Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy Notice No. 2020, March 31, 2020 or those who have been confirmed to be employed at the above fields. Their yearly income shall be over GNI*1.5 or their yearly employment contact amount shall be GNI*1.5 or higher. Also, they need 80 points or higher.

3. Professional Occupation Fields Professionals:
Registered foreign nationals who are holding E-1 visa to E-7-1 visa or D-5 visa to D-9 visa. However, E-6-2, E-7-2, E-7-3, E-7-4 visa holders are NOT eligible. They need i) 80 points, ii) 3 years or more working continuously at that professional fields. However, if their yearly income is over 40 million won, there is no need to wait for 3 years. This new guideline has indicated non-eligible visa code such as E-6-2, E-7-2, E-7-3, E-7-4 in detail.

4-1. (Revised) International Talented persons:
If you have obtained master’s degree or higher within 5 years from the date of acquisition of academic degrees in Korea, you have been confirmed to being hired for or are working at the field of E-1 visa to E-7-1 visa or D-5 visa to D-9 visa. If you have domestic master’s degree or higher, you may apply for it even you haven’t had D-2 visa before. This new guideline has indicated non-eligible visa code such as E-6-2, E-7-2, E-7-3, E-7-4 in detail.

4-2. Outstanding Talents from Korean War Participated Countries:
Even if you are not confirmed to being hired, if your point is 80 or higher, you may apply for F-2-7 visa with a special point such as nationals of Korean war participated countries (20 points) and government recommendation (20 points). When you extend, a government recommendation point will not be granted so you need to meet 80 points or higher.

5. (Newly Added) Potential Outstanding Talented Person:
Eligible applicants who have obtained master’s or/and doctorate degree from science and engineering specialized universities and research institutes. If they are not confirmed to being hired, if they get a recommendation letter from the university or research institute’s president, it is possible to apply for F-2-7 visa even though they have less than 80 points. However, they must meet the 80 points or higher after 5 years from the date of permission to change their F-2-7 visa.

**Also, when you apply for F-2-7 visa, you MUST prepare for your home country’s criminal records with Apostille or Korean consular legalization within 3 months for the date of issuance of Apostille or Korean consular legalization. I have complained about this period a minute ago. Because some of countries’ Apostille processing period and arriving in Korea needs more than 3 months. So, I have requested about how about limiting within 6 months if the applicant stays in Korea continuously without leaving Korea after applying for Apostilled criminal records., etc.

** (Additional Point Section) Outstanding Universities rule changed: Times Higher Education selected Top 200 universities (previously 500 universities), or QS selected Top 500 universities. 

** (Deducted Point Section) Item of the invited person’s criminal facts in Korea has been deleted. 

** See more details as attached (Korean Language).

Why I cannot apply for F-2-7 VISA Directly from D-10-1 VISA?

Why I cannot apply for F-2-7 VISA Directly from D-10-1 VISA?


F-2-7 VISA systems makes us confusing a lot.
But one clear thing is you MUST check your current status of stay and previous visa types.

If someone held a master degree (D-2-3 VISA) and changed to D-10-1 VISA then converted D-10-1 VISA to E-7-1 VISA.

And then he/she quit his/her job and changed to D-10-1 VISA.

In this case, is he/she eligible for applying for F-2-7 VISA directly?

First of all, you MUST know that F-2-7 VISA requirements contain the requirements of E-7-1 VISA. So, if you are eligible for F-2-7 VISA, you shall check whether your company and your qualifications are met E-7-1 VISA Criteria, such as yearly income, number of Korean etc.

Secondly, even though your D-2-3 VISA period and D-10-1 VISA period were 3 years or more, if you had E-7-1 VISA after your graduation, you cannot apply for F-2-7 VISA directly from D-10-1 VISA, except for hiring by a KOSPI or KOSDAQ listed company with yearly income with 40 million won or higher.

Lastly, if you don't know F-2-7 VISA criteria while holding E-7-1 VISA and quit your job and currently holding D-10-1 VISA, Immigration doesn't care about your situation.

F-2-7 visa, points based residency visa for outstanding talents, Current Situation

Many foreign business owners are facing an abrupt end to their entrepreneurial careers, as sudden changes to how immigration offices are handling the F-2-7 visa are causing chaos.




2016년부터 시행된 우수인력점수제 거주비자인 F-2-7비자는 많은 혜택을 부여했습니다. 

점수제로 운영되는 해당 거주비자는 사업부터 취업에 제한이 없는 비자였습니다. 

하지만, 작년 12월 이후, 이전에 F-2-7비자를 받고 사업을 영위하던 외국인들은 이제 더 이상 해당 비자로 ‘사업’을 할 수 없게 되었습니다.

그 이유는 출입국관리법 시행령 제23조 ‘외국인의 취업과 체류자격’ 제2항 제1호’에 나온 ‘취업활동에 제한이 없다’ 중 ‘취업’의 범위에 ‘영리활동’인 사업은 포함이 안된다고 판단한 이유 때문인 것 같습니다.

문제는 해당 조항은 2016년 이후로 크게 변경된 것이 없고 (2018년 9월 18일 개정), F-2-7비자 소지자가 늘었던 2018년 이후에도 체류기간을 연장할 때, 관할 출입국외국인관서에서 문제 없이 사업을 용인하고 있었기 때문입니다.

이 때문에 몇 년을 준비하고 해당 거주비자로 변경한 외국인은 패닉에 빠져있는 상태입니다.

문제는, 외국인에게 혜택을 주는 출입국정책보다 혜택을 박탈하거나 제한하는 지침이 시행되기 이전에, 이에 대한 정당한 설명과 경과규정을 두어 해당 시행령을 시행하면 불이익을 받을 외국인이 미리 사업을 정리하는 방법을 통해서 권리를 구제받아야 하는데, 아쉽게도 아무런 지침을 확인할 수 없는 상황입니다.

언제, 어떻게 ‘영리(사업)’활동을 할 수 없게 된 것인지도 모르게 체류기간 연장 시, 이러한 사업등을 할 수 없고, 사업소득은 인정이 안되기에 최근에 변경된 지침 상의 점수 미충족으로 일궈논 사업을 접고, 다시 구직비자(D-10) 또는 회사를 찾아서 다른 취업비자 (E-1~E-7)를 준비해야 하는 상황에 몰리게 된 것입니다.

체류자격부여등은 이민행정에서 국가가 주권적인 권력을 행사할 수 있고, 대한민국의 경제적 상황, 사회상황들을 고려하여, 정책을 펴나가야 한다는데는 이견이 없습니다.

다만, 외국인에게 주어진 혜택을 박탈하거나 제한하는 경우에는 고시등을 통해 외국인에게 알리고, 경과규정 등을 통해서 새로운 지침에 적응할 수 있는 기회가 주어져야하는데, 현재 현안이 된 F-2-7비자에서는 안타깝게도 그런 모습을 볼 수가 없었습니다.

좀 더 해당 사안에 대해 고민하고, 좀더 우호적인 이민정책이 고려되었으면 좋겠습니다.

저와 인터뷰한 모든 내용이 담겨있지 않지만 해당 기사를 통해 현재 외국인들에 당면한 모습들을 잘 느끼실 수 있을 것 같습니다.

인터뷰와 기사 작성에 수고해주신 Mr Jon Dunbar님께 감사의 말씀을 드립니다.
