Korea’s Digital Nomad Visa: What You Need to Know

South Korea launched a digital nomad visa that lets remote workers live in Korea while working for overseas companies—no local job required. After a pilot in January 2024, 743 people got approved, and the government recently made it easier by lowering income requirements and extending stays up to three years. It's a game-changer compared to traditional Korean visas that demand employment, education enrollment, or family ties.
