자주 묻는 질문

What reports/permits are required when a foreigner or a foreign corporation invests in Korea?

The required report/permit depends on the investment amount and the investment method. For example, for investments under ₩100M, it typically falls under the securities acquisition report as outlined in the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act. Investment over 100M KRW usually qualifies as a foreign investment report under the Foreign Investment Promotion Act. * The types of required reports or permits may vary depending on details of investment transaction.
