you guys, if your worried about langauge, as long as you do a lesson everyday and review 1 hour each (1 review, 1 study) then you can complete korean in 1 - 1 1/2 year.
The speed at which someone picks up a language depends on a lot of factors. Someone who picks up a new language quickly typically already speaks or at least understands one other foreign language already. Someone who has never been exposed to foreign languages before may take longer to pick up something as simple as the alphabet as their brains are working harder to recognize patterns in sounds. I personally understand a healthy level of 2 other languages on top of english, so my brain picks up patterns in speech of foreign languages fairly quickly. 1-1.5yrs of studying may only get people to a high intermediate level in Korean depending on how intensely they study the language every day.
You sound like you had a very very long hard time, you seem intelligent and seems like you worked very hard to achieve that goal, as someone who hope for similar achievements it’s really nice to listen to your advices so thank you 🙏
Wow! Your explanation is very structured and well organized. I did not know you've gone through that long and complicated processes. Congrats in the end.
I know this is 2 years late, but I have had a lot of difficulty finding an answer that fits my circumstances. 1. I am American, married to a Korean with U.S citizenship. 2. I am receiving 2 retirement pensions from the Army [22 years Infatry and anther 22 DA Civilian] + Social security. 3. We are moving permanently to Korea next month and she is working her F4 visa now (only missing the apostille which is being processed) 4. I am trying to find a path to the resident card, then long term stay, but I will be either in a non visa status or an F1. ( think both only allow 90 days). In ignorance, the only way forward I can see is: She gets the F4 and her ARC and I try to extend my stay until I can apply for an better visa. If they allow me to stay past 90, then I can also apply for the ARC. Hopefully, you have a better way, because that feels sketchy to me.
@neelroy2918 Thanks. God blessed us. Got over here, I qualified for an F-5-13 VISA and Korean health insurance at 18.00 US a month. (on top of TRICARE overseas) Momma got her F4 and we are buying our house next month. Lovin it here and cycling 50k every other day.
Hahaha omg the relevance of the immigration thing is also happening in the PH 🤣 Why is that? Thank you for this! Will really keep it in mind 🥺💛 For now I am preparing my application and requirements for my masters there 🇰🇷 Ahh please 2022!! ✨ Congraaatulations!
Hello! There is one thing you didn't mention about the F2 visa, and that is that, as far as I understand, you have to make an investment of 500 million KRW and if you keep it for 5 years you have access to the F5 visa, that's what I understand. I could be wrong but I understand that it is like that, if not, could you please tell me? Thank you.
Do you think an American could move to Koria and retire? I'll give you a little more info. This person has already been retired for more than ten years and is ready for something new. He was telling me that older people are treated with a lot more respect in Korea than in the US and thought this sounded good. He also mentioned that he had no interest in living in a large city. He has a very good income that is absolutely solid so he has no worries about money and will not need to work. Thanks for your time and help.
Congratulations on your F-2 visa! I was just curious, which visa did you have before applying for the F-2, and did you have it for 3 consecutive years? I'm thinking about applying for the F-2 as well, so all this info is very useful!
I had the E-7 visa right before. :) and I was told that I only need that visa for 1 year. But because I had the D-2 visa for 3 consecutive years before that I was already on the safe side. Hope this helps!:)
@@ElliinKorea Hi~sorry to hop onto someone's comment~Is there anywhere that gives more info about the time period? I've had the E7 for a year but was told that now you actually need to have it for 3 years and they aren't counting the D2 visa, unless it's for masters degree. Been searching but can only find info about the points system, not the time period to wait ;;;
I believe you came to Korea as a D-2 student visa, so are there any specific visa holders that can apply for the F-2 based he has sufficient point? Say he has a D series or a student visa, can he apply for the F-2?
Congrats on your visa!! Also this is so so helpful! Thank you for making the video. I was wondering, can you score enough points if you make a lot of money but don’t necessarily have a degree? Like someone who’s a freelancer for example. I’m interested to hear your opinion on this
thank you! :) it is definitely possible, but you will have to earn a LOT of money, if you don't have any degree and want to balance that out. I heard last year's requirement was annual salary of 80 million KRW, but it changes slightly every year.
The d2 visa is maximum for 2 years stay. Then what to do if I want to do PhD after Masters in the same university? I mean for example if I am applying for spring 2023 intake then after 2 years, my Masters will be over in spring 2025. Then I want to take admission for PhD in autumn 2025. But I won't be able to stay more in korea due to d2 visa deadline and I can't extend it without the admission letter of PhD, in the case what to do?
Hi I been in Korea for around 6 years doing my undergraduate studies, but I went to my country every two years during the break of school. Do you know how Immigration consider this one?
Does the income component need to be earned in Korea? Or can it be foreign income? For example, wanting to get an F27 VISA to work remotely in Korea (as a digital Nomad).
Me and my fiancé were due to get married here in October but my 90 days expired so we plan to in the coming weeks now that I am back. However, I haven't got a job because my academy offer fell through due to Korea stopping most visas to British citizens (including E2) so now we will only have marriage as our substance. Will that be enough to make up for the no job situation do you think? Ps. First video I found on the subject and was very helpful :)
unfortunatly I am not that well informed about the marriage visa situation :( but as far as I heard from friends who got their visa through marriage with a Korean national, it was enough to "proof" their marriage was real (with photos from their dating dates etc) to get an F-series visa. :)
Hi first of all congrats to you for your freedom 😊visa I got 2 years f2-99 visa same long term residency visa i change from d9 trade visa my question is do I work part time and business both right ?
Wait so would I have to have a visa there already to apply for the F-2-7?? That's the part I'm confused on. And I don't know if I missed it, but what are these documents that I need?
hello I'm interested about the f-2 visa in general the residence card but I live in Greece and I wanna move to S.korea without having to study or any of the above just be a free citizen there and later find a job is it possible to get accepted there? do you know what do I have to do for that?
Congratulations Elli! This is very helpful! I'm thinking of getting the F visa too. I'm already on E7 for 4 years, do you think i could go ahead and apply for F5 instead of F2 visa first?
Hello! Thank you for your video. I just changed my visa to D9-1 it took just a year now. So i want to ask can i change my visa to f2 after 1 year of the other visa?
Hi. Did you apply with the new points system? I'm confused whether you need to be in Korea for 1 year or 3 years in order to qualify for the new points-based F2-7 visa. Does anybody happen to know?
I applied before the changes in Dec 2020. :/ but I know that if you have the kgsp scholarship before you apply or you receive a recommendation letter as a national of a participant country of the korean war, you can apply after just 1 year.
yes, you need to have another long-term (not tourist) visa before applying. and you have to have it for 1 to 3 years, depending on that previous visa and also on your qualifications. D4 should be eligible :)
I did my BA in Korean Studies back in Germany. And then my MA in Intl Relations in Korea, because you cannot find a lot of jobs just with Korean Studies haha. I work for the Korean government now.
Fantastic insight Elli! You really gave me motivation. I have some questions, how can someone get an E-7 VISA if you do a master in Korea? Can you get it right away after master? And how about E-5 Visa?
Can I find out what qualifications a person coming to Korea as an institutional worker with an E-9 visa must obtain to obtain an F-2 visa? What are the things to learn? I like your videos❤️❤️❤️ please answer me
First of all congrats girll, you really deserve this💓 I wonder if you can get the E7 visa right after you graduated from university and have a Degree of Master of Arts in Primary Education - Pre-School and School Years 1-3, and without having any other visa before? I also wonder if the job in korea have to be related to my degree field? Or can I work in any other field? Because as far as I know you can’t teach English in Korea as a non-native English speaker, which makes it hard for me to find a job in my field. I’m asking you because I can’t find any answer to this elsewhere :(
you would still have to apply for a general background check like everyone else, but with that kind of money it should be very easy to pass all the requirements 😆
Hey I just wanna say thank you for your efforts to speak up and share with us your journey this far Could you tell us the names of visas in ascending order, if you don't mind? Because I will follow your steps Star as a bachelor Since For a student D-x (which?)

Hi congratulations, I’m just curious if you are doing the Masters degree how do you make it 3 years when it’s only 2 years? Also was it easy to get a job?
I extended it for one year because I needed more time to do research for my thesis :) und job hunting was not too hard for me because I have topik 6 korean skills, a MA degree from a good univ, and there are not too many germans here, so translators etc. are always in demand.
Hello again ㅋㅋㅋ If i study master's degree in business administration for 2 years in Korea which is d2 visa then i graduated and change to d10 job seeking visa and if i hired in a company what working visa should i have now? I don't know what e visa for a company I hope u answer ty
I heard KIIP is also a great way to get points for the korean language requirements. If you already have a high TOPIK level can you just take the KIIP exam straight away?
Yes, you can, but it’s hard to know what will show up in the test. It’s better to take a placement test and they will place you in the right level. Follow some classes which prepare you for the exam and you’re good to go.
Hi! i know i am kinda late but i hope you see this, i am planning on moving to korea and for the point system can my income come from my own country (business, own company, etc.) or it should be strictly in korea only? Thank you in advance if you’re going to answer! ❤️
as far as I know the income should be made in Korea, because they also calculate how much tax you pay here (because tax helps the country). so it might not help you for the points, even if you have a good income back home 😢
It says on the internet that your need at least 5 years as permanent resident before you apply to citizenship. Does that mean that any type of visa counts or it is just for the F-2-7 or the F-5 visa categories? So, ultimately one might need around 8 years before you can apply to citizenship? Is it that hard to become citizen? I can't find much information online. Thank you!
Hi i hope you see this. So if i plan to study masters degree for 2 years in South Korea which is D2 and then after i graduated can i work in different jobs or fields? that are not connected to my degree? And what visa should i get. I'm waiting for u. Ty.
After graduation you could change to the D-10 visa which is for working right after graduation. As far as I know you are quite flexible on that visa but some jobs might still not be allowed by the Immigration service, like working in a nightclub etc.
@@ElliinKorea so u can work multiple jobs like, i work in hotel which is my main job and then i can work another part time job? Is that right? We are not limited to what job we do? As long as it is d10 visa? And if i leave my main job it is okay? Can i still find another job right? I don't have to leave the country if i leave my former job?
you have to check on the official topik website where and when tests are being held in your country. :) it is different for every country so be sure to check the official site!
Why would someone want to apply for Korean visa and live there? May be F-2 visa stands for F*ck you 2 visa [LOL]. You should come and live in Canada 🇨🇦! Thanks for your enthusiasm in explaining about Korean Visa!
Hello 👋. I know this is a really old video and you may not reply to comments on it, but I was hoping that you may be able to help me please?. I would like to ask, can the degree you have be any degree?, I am considering going for a bachelor degree in software engineering, and once I graduate, I was thinking of trying to get a scholarship for a masters degree in software engineering in korea, and using that to my advantage in finding long term work in korea, with a view to eventually getting myself into the position of gaining my F-2 like you. Would this be achievable?, what do you think the chances of foreigners getting scholarship in korea are? And do you think that this is a feasible and acceptable way of progressing?. Also I don't know if this will matter, but I am 43. Any advice or tips?. Thank you for your time.
Ok , so after doing days of more in depth research , I have discovered, that not only am I too old for a korean scholarship, but by the time i graduate from my masters, I will also be too old to compete in the software engineering field which is extremely disheartening 😭. But nonetheless, I am determined to live and work in korea in whatever capacity I am capable. Have you any advice on what areas of employment other than English teacher that I could aim for?, for example do you have friends who are expats that are working in other fields?. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated by me. Thank you

Hi! i know i am kinda late but i hope you see this, i am planning on moving to korea and for the point system can my income come from my own country (business, own company, etc.) or it should be strictly in korea only? Thank you in advance if you’re going to answer! ❤️
as far as I know the income should be made in Korea, because they also calculate how much tax you pay here (because tax helps the country). so it might not help you for the points, even if you have a good income back home 😢
How can we contact with you? I have some questions about f2 visa
Did you apply for student visa first before f2?
I had the student visa in the past and the e7 visa right before I applied :)
How much income do i have to get to make it easier for me to get the f-2 visa?
Very helpful!
I want to be a flight atendent in korea and do I have to have a degree to move to south korea?
Which Korean University offer as free charge similar as free scholarship?
I don't know about a single university here that you can attend free of charge:(
Congratulations dear
for E series visas does it count to work at coffee shops?
It says on the internet that your need at least 5 years as permanent resident before you apply to citizenship. Does that mean that any type of visa counts or it is just for the F-2-7 or the F-5 visa categories? So, ultimately one might need around 8 years before you can apply to citizenship? Is it that hard to become citizen? I can't find much information online. Thank you!
Is it very expensive to settle there miss..??
Very helpful. Thank you.
I m from Algeria , i hope to visit korea
I from Nepal bot I want to go there for visit visa no Problems bot now I have job in Abu Dhabi
Hi i hope you see this.
So if i plan to study masters degree for 2 years in South Korea which is D2 and then after i graduated can i work in different jobs or fields? that are not connected to my degree? And what visa should i get. I'm waiting for u. Ty.
After graduation you could change to the D-10 visa which is for working right after graduation. As far as I know you are quite flexible on that visa but some jobs might still not be allowed by the Immigration service, like working in a nightclub etc.
@@ElliinKorea so u can work multiple jobs like, i work in hotel which is my main job and then i can work another part time job? Is that right? We are not limited to what job we do? As long as it is d10 visa? And if i leave my main job it is okay? Can i still find another job right? I don't have to leave the country if i leave my former job?
@@meshi3373 I'm not sure about those details because I never had the d-10 visa. :(
@@ElliinKorea thank you 😊
Tysm for this
You look so beautiful 😻
Thank you so much 🥰💗
Can i become an k-pop idol or Singer with this visa that you have?? Pls ans my question 🥺
You could do that. But the E-6 visa is much, much easier to get and focuses on the entertainment industry. So that would be a better fit. :)
@@ElliinKorea tnq for answering 🥺

Does visiting back home in a different country affect my visa? (student visa, etc.)
No. Just visiting/traveling does not affect your visa. :)
@@ElliinKorea That’s good to know. Thank you!
@@ElliinKorea Oh and also! Does moving back to your home country get rid of your F visa in Korea?

Why would someone want to apply for Korean visa and live there? May be F-2 visa stands for F*ck you 2 visa [LOL]. You should come and live in Canada 🇨🇦! Thanks for your enthusiasm in explaining about Korean Visa!
Hello 👋.
I know this is a really old video and you may not reply to comments on it, but I was hoping that you may be able to help me please?.
I would like to ask, can the degree you have be any degree?, I am considering going for a bachelor degree in software engineering, and once I graduate, I was thinking of trying to get a scholarship for a masters degree in software engineering in korea, and using that to my advantage in finding long term work in korea, with a view to eventually getting myself into the position of gaining my F-2 like you. Would this be achievable?, what do you think the chances of foreigners getting scholarship in korea are? And do you think that this is a feasible and acceptable way of progressing?. Also I don't know if this will matter, but I am 43. Any advice or tips?. Thank you for your time.
Ok , so after doing days of more in depth research , I have discovered, that not only am I too old for a korean scholarship, but by the time i graduate from my masters, I will also be too old to compete in the software engineering field which is extremely disheartening 😭.
But nonetheless, I am determined to live and work in korea in whatever capacity I am capable. Have you any advice on what areas of employment other than English teacher that I could aim for?, for example do you have friends who are expats that are working in other fields?. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated by me. Thank you
어어어어...지금 혹시 양반다리??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
양반다리 편합니다!! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Easiest way to get a F-2 Visa in any country is become a Tech Developer. Thank me later
Haha that is such a good "shortcut" advice! 😆 I wish I was smart enough to get a job in the tech or IT field lol!🤣🥲
can you do private english tutoring in korea on the F-2-7 visa?
Yes you can. :)
@@ElliinKorea wow thankyou for answering so fast!
I love you
