1. What Is the F-6 (Marriage) Visa?

The F-6 Visa allows a foreign spouse of a Korean citizen to live and work in Korea. It is issued only when the immigration authorities confirm that the marriage is genuine and not for convenience or immigration purposes.

The Statement of Relationship and Courtship History plays a crucial role in proving that authenticity.


2. Legal Basis

  • Article 12 (2) of the Immigration Control Act

    The head of the Immigration Office may grant a visa or stay permit at discretion when the purpose of stay is lawful and clearly justified.

  • MOJ Visa Issuance Guidelines for F-6

    To verify the authenticity of a marriage, officers examine the statement of relationship, photos, communication records, remittance data, and family confirmation letters comprehensively.


3. Purpose of the Relationship & Courtship Statement

This statement is not a mere romantic essay โ€” it serves as a legal declaration that demonstrates the genuineness of the marriage.

Evaluation ItemWhat It Proves
Genuineness of the marriageWhether it is a bona fide marriage, not a fake or arranged one
Mutual understandingLanguage communication, religion, lifestyle, values
Courtship processHow the couple met, how long and how often they communicated
Reason for marriageNatural and sincere motivation to marry
Family involvementWhether both families are aware and supportive
Future plansLiving arrangements, financial plans, and life together in Korea

4. Standard Structure of the Statement

Generally, the statement consists of the following five sections:

(1) How You Met

  • When, where, and under what circumstances the couple first met
  • Include introduction details (friend, church, dating app, workplace, etc.)
  • Keep it factual and specific

(2) Development of the Relationship

  • When dating officially started, how often you communicated, how long you stayed in contact
  • Mention family introduction or visits
  • Ensure consistency with submitted evidence (photos, messages, call logs)

(3) Decision to Get Married

  • Describe what led to the marriage decision (trust, shared values, family approval, etc.)
  • Avoid vague emotional statements or financial motives

(4) Marriage Ceremony and Registration

  • Provide details such as date, venue, guests, and registration method
  • The date must match marriage certificates and photo evidence

(5) Future Plans After Marriage

  • State where you plan to live, how you will support yourselves, and long-term goals

5. Important Writing Tips

  1. Consistency Is Critical
    • The content of the statement must match other supporting evidence (photos, messages, family letters, interviews).
    • Inconsistent dates or locations are often seen as false information.
  2. Be Factual, Not Overly Emotional
    • Avoid flowery or exaggerated emotional language.
    • Focus on verifiable facts (how, when, where, why).
  3. Accurate Translation Required
    • If written by the foreign spouse, a certified translation into Korean (or English) must be attached.
    • Any mismatch between versions can lead to a โ€œsupplement requestโ€ or even denial.
  4. Avoid Signs of a Sham Marriage
    • Very short dating periods (under 6 months) require detailed explanation.
    • Emphasize frequent contact, family involvement, and shared plans.

6. Common Reasons for Visa Denial

ReasonDescriptionNote
Lack of evidenceOnly wedding photos, no contact recordsAdd call/SNS logs
Inconsistent statementsInterview answers differ from written statementConsidered false
Language barrierCouple cannot communicateShow efforts to learn a common language
Financial motivationMarriage appears transactionalProvide genuine reasons

7. Conclusion

The Statement of Relationship and Courtship History is the most crucial document in the F-6 visa review process. A poorly written or inconsistent statement can easily lead to suspicion of a fake marriage, but a well-prepared and honest account supported by evidence can clearly prove the marriageโ€™s genuineness.

To maximize approval chances:

  • Keep your timeline consistent across all documents.
  • Provide evidence-based details (not emotional stories).
  • Ensure accurate translation and legal formatting.
