1. Basic Principle

If a child is born in Korea to a parent who holds F-5 permanent residency, the child may be granted permanent residency (F-5) or a long-term residence status (e.g., F-2) under certain conditions.


2. Eligibility Requirements

โœ… For Children of F-5-1 (General Permanent Resident)

  • Application must be filed within 60 days of the childโ€™s birth in Korea.
  • Both parents must be F-5 holders, or one parent must hold F-5 and the other F-2 or higher status.
  • The child must not be a Korean national (i.e., foreign nationality only).
  • Proper birth registration and family relation documentation must be completed.

โš ๏ธ If one parent is a Korean citizen, the child may automatically acquire Korean nationality at birth under the Nationality Act. A separate nationality/legal review is needed in such cases.


3. Application Procedure & Available Status

5. Important Notes

  • Failure to apply within 60 days may result in fines or visa processing disadvantages.
  • If the child may have acquired dual nationality, parents must check the Nationality Act regarding renunciation or selection obligations.
  • Permanent residence is not automatically granted; the immigration office will review eligibility based on the above criteria.

โœ… Conclusion

Children born in Korea to parents who hold F-5 permanent residency may be granted permanent residency (F-5) or long-term residence status (F-2) if certain conditions are met. Timely application within 60 days of birth and proper documentation (e.g., birth certificate, parentโ€™s visa status, childโ€™s foreign nationality) are essential.

If there are concerns about dual nationality or conflicting statuses, it is strongly recommended to consult an immigration attorney or administrative specialist for accurate guidance.
