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
โ For Children of F-5-1 (General Permanent Resident)
- Application must be filed within 60 days of the childโs 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.
โ ๏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
| Category | Details |

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.
โ 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, parentโs visa status, childโs 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.
