    A new workcation visa is being tested starting January 2024 for remote workers of overseas companies who wish to stay in Korea.

    Workcation is a portmanteau of the words “work” and “vacation,” referring to a situation where one works remotely while traveling. Previously, remote workers traveling in Korea were limited to stays over up to 90 days. The new workcation visa is valid for one year upon entry, with the possibility to extend for one more year.

    Applicants must work at an overseas company and have earned a salary equivalent to at least 85,000,000 KRW in the previous year. Qualifying applicants may also apply for their dependent family to stay in Korea during the visa valid period. Eligible remote workers currently staying in Korea on a short-term visitor visa can apply for change of visa. Take note that this visa does not as act as a work permit for employment in Korea and such use is strictly prohibited.
