Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. When hiring a foreigner living overseas, how long does it take for the visa to be issued?
A. The standard examination period for a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) is about 1 to 3 months. After issuance, it takes about 1 to 2 weeks for visa issuance at the local embassy. Working backward from your scheduled joining date, we recommend starting preparations 3 to 4 months in advance.
Is it possible to apply for a work visa even for newly established companies or companies with deficits in their financial results?
A. Yes, it is possible. In the case of newly established corporations, you can obtain a permit by attaching a business plan or proof of fundraising, and in the case of deficit-comapnies, by attaching an expert opinion from a Small and Management Consultant or a future revenue and expenditure improvement plan to prove the continuity of the business.
