A person who entered on a marriage migrant F-6-2 visa must complete alien registration within 90 days of the entry date, and registering after more than 90 days is described as subject to prosecution. The stay period is 1 year from the entry date, and the documents are the application form, passport, 1 standard photo, fee, the child’s basic and family relation certificates if the child is a Korean national, and proof of address.

1. Who is covered?
Those who entered on an F-6-2 visa. Holders who entered on an F-6-1 visa likewise register at the immigration office covering their address within 90 days of entry.
2. What is the deadline?
Within 90 days of the entry date. The manual says registration after more than 90 days from the entry date is subject to prosecution, so it is safest to plan the appointment right after arrival.
3. How long is the stay granted?
1 year from the entry date.
4. Which documents are submitted?
- Application form (Form No. 34), passport, 1 standard photo, fee
- Child’s basic certificate and family relation certificate if the child is a Korean national
- Documents proving your address
5. How does this differ from F-6-1?
F-6-1 submits the Korean spouse’s detailed marriage certificate and resident registration, plus the child’s family relation certificate if the couple has a child. F-6-2 centers on the child’s certificates and proof of address.
6. Common problems
- Misunderstanding the starting date for counting 90 days and missing the deadline
- Visiting without the child’s certificates or proof of address
- Booking delays leaving filing until just before the deadline
