  Breaking News! South Korea's Public Interest Investment Immigration (i.e., South Korea's Deposit Immigration) is undergoing several significant changes:

  The investment option for individuals over 55 years old, specifically the 300 million KRW deposit option, is being eliminated.

  The 500 million KRW deposit option is being raised to 1.5 billion KRW.

  The 1.5 billion KRW deposit option is being raised to 3 billion KRW.



Breaking News! Major Policy Changes in South Korea's Deposit Immigration Program



  According to the current official documents, the new policy is effective immediately. However, various parties are actively seeking to determine whether there will be a grace period moving forward, which remains to be seen. WorldWay Group will continue to monitor the situation and will share any new information promptly.


  South Korea's Deposit Immigration program was launched in May 2013. Through the investment method designated by the Ministry of Justice of South Korea (the Government Public Interest Investment Immigration Fund), investors can obtain a South Korean F2 residence visa. Upon meeting the relevant conditions, they can apply for permanent residency in South Korea (F5 visa) and citizenship. The government guarantees a return of the principal without interest after five years!


  Previously, South Korea's Deposit Immigration was favored by many investors due to its low cost, simple application procedures, quick approval, and rapid acquisition of residency. With this policy change, the increase in the required investment amounts for South Korea's Deposit Immigration means that investors who have been hesitant and have not taken action have missed another low-cost immigration opportunity.


  Therefore, immigration should be pursued early; it is not just talk. Immigration policies change rapidly, and immigration programs can be halted or suddenly altered, which has happened more than once. The two key elements of immigration are timing and choice! Those who seize the policy benefits have already realized their immigration dreams, while those who have missed the opportunity should take action now and secure their place.


  As one of Asia's top 500 brands, with over 20 years of focus on investment immigration, WorldWay Group has a powerful project analysis team, a professional copywriting team, and a comprehensive customer service team, providing investors with professional, comprehensive, and diverse services!
