The documents listed below are required by the Korean government as you are married under Korean law. If you are married to a South Korean national, you can change your visa status to F-6 or Korean spouse visa. This type of visa allows you to live and work in South Korea for a period of 1 or 2 years. Visa holders can extend their visa shortly before expiry. To obtain a spouse visa in Korea, you must apply for a visa change at your local immigration office. You will need certain documents, including your marriage certificate, proof of your residency registration, as well as proof of your income and your spouse`s income, and the foreign spouse`s Korean language skills. If the multicultural couple communicates in a language other than Korean, Korean language skills are usually not required. Please contact the nearest immigration office or call 1345.
