Children born in Korea to F-6 visa holders must apply for their own residency status — they are not automatically covered by a parent's visa. Apply within 90 days of birth to avoid illegal stay status.
Which Residence Status?
If one parent is Korean, the child qualifies for F-2-4 (minor foreign child of Korean national). Both-foreign-parent cases vary by parental visa type.
Required Documents
- Integrated application form
- Child's passport (issued by home country embassy)
- Birth certificate with apostille
- Parent's alien registration cards and passports
- Korean parent's family relation certificate
- Marriage certificate
Steps
- Get child's passport from home country embassy (allow 1–3 months)
- Register birth (local district office or embassy)
- Visit immigration office to apply for residence status
- Receive alien registration card
