Service scope

Review entity options, shareholder and management requirements, then coordinate formation documents and official registration.

Original general planning guidance; not destination-specific legal, tax or licensing advice.

Basic conditions

  • The usual FDI route requires at least KRW 100 million and 10% of voting shares for management participation. A smaller investment may still form a corporation under foreign-exchange notification rules. Investment is not a fee.

Required documents

  • FDI notification needs forms and investor nationality/corporate evidence, plus authority for agents. Tax registration uses articles, lease, incorporation certificate, shareholder list and applicable funds/permit evidence. Confirm the full court-registration attachments separately.

Process

  • Pre-notify KOTRA or an FX bank, remit capital, register in court, obtain applicable permits, file incorporation/tax registration, then complete banking and FDI-company registration. Steps depend on investment and activity.
