"The OASIS visa program was a vital gateway to launch my business in Korea. Through the program, I gained important knowledge in IP rights and Korean tax laws, as well as the opportunity to meet and connect with amazing people from all over. Starting a business in Korea via the OASIS program has allowed me to branch out into multiple business streams and work from anywhere at my own pace. I highly recommend this program to anyone wishing to start or continue their entrepreneurship journey in Korea."

"I have lived in South Korea as a wife of an expat for twenty years without opportunity to grow professionally and without self-realization. The OASIS program gave me that opportunity. I have registered my own business and am about to launch it next month".
FAQ
-
What visa holders are applicable to take part in the OASIS courses?For OASIS 4, 4+, 5 anyone currently in Korea and able to attend the courses is welcome (including those on a tourist stay!). The program is not only about getting the visa, but also about teaching you the basics of running a tech business here. Come and learn how to become an entrepreneur in Korea! For OASIS 8 (incorporation support), we recommend you to be already committed to doing your own venture here.
-
What visa holders are applicable to apply for the D8-4 visa?In general anyone who successfully obtained a D10-2 visa and incorporated their business in Korea, is eligible to apply and receive a D-8-4 visa. That being said, the immigration has been known to grant D-8-4 visas right away to those on F visas (F2, F4, F6 etc.). However, the recommended course is D10-2 → D8-4
-
What is the difference between D-8-4 and D-9-1 visas?D8-4 is open to anyone with an innovative technology-based business idea that can be patented or copyrighted accordingly. D9-1 is strictly for those conducting trade-based business activities overseas (export, import).
