F-6 Marriage Visa: The Full Guide
The F-6 marriage visa for Korea explained: eligibility, income and housing requirements, documents, the interview, and the path to F-5.
The F-6 marriage visa lets foreign spouses of Korean nationals live and work in Korea. It's document-heavy and includes checks to confirm the marriage is genuine. Here's the full guide.
Planning an F-6? Ask a consultant.
Who qualifies
- A genuine marriage to a Korean national.
- The Korean sponsor meets income (and often housing) requirements.
- Often a basic Korean-communication requirement for the foreign spouse.
Requirements to plan for
- Income: the sponsor generally must meet a minimum income threshold.
- Housing: a suitable place to live may be required.
- Communication: a basic ability to communicate is often expected.
Thresholds change — confirm current figures.
Documents
Both partners contribute: marriage registration, relationship evidence (photos, history, communication), income/housing proof, background documents, and standard application forms.
The interview
Expect a possible interview to confirm the marriage is genuine. Prepare your relationship timeline and be consistent.
Working & the path to F-5
The F-6 generally allows broad work. Over time it's a common route to F-5 permanent residency.
