Naturalization requirements
If you want to be naturalized, you must first successfully immigrate and obtain permanent residence status. This is the preliminary preparation, so I won't go into details here. You can go to our website for relevant information.
After obtaining immigration status, you must live in Korea for more than five years. These five years are a very important assessment period. Everyone should make sure that he abides by the law and doesn't break it.
Moreover, in these five years, I need to settle down, have a stable job, buy insurance and pay taxes on time, and have a basic understanding of Korean culture.
Application process
1. Successful immigrants through different immigration methods must obtain permanent residence status and have lived in Korea for five years and meet the above requirements. After that, you can change your F5 visa to the relevant department.
Then take the training of naturalization examination, which is provided by the government. You can only apply after getting F5 visa, and you can take the exam after training for a certain period of time.
The exam is divided into two parts. The content of the written test is about the daily life in South Korea, and it examines how well you know about South Korea. The interview is a language test, and you will be asked to read the article and then ask questions about it.
Immigrant welfare
First of all, in terms of medical care, immigrants with permanent residence status can join the medical insurance system in Korea, and they have nearly 20 free medical examination opportunities every year, and most of the medical expenses can be reimbursed, which reduces the economic risks brought by illness.
Then there is retirement pension benefits. As long as you pay the old-age insurance on time at work, you can get the pension after retirement, and you can basically live without worry if you pay it in proportion.
▲ Right of residence and convenience of travel
Having a Korean green card gives you permanent residency in Korea, and you can freely enter and leave the United States without going to the embassy to apply for a visa. American permanent residents can live anywhere in Korea, and they can also legally carry out work, business, study and other activities in any city in Korea.
You don't need to go to the immigration supervisor to get a green card in Korea. You can log in once a year from the time you get a residence visa. During the holding period, the whole of Korea can travel, live and do business freely, and there is no time limit for residence.

South Korea implements a nine-year free and compulsory education system. After holding a green card, you can enjoy free compulsory education. Compulsory education stage: Korean schools are divided into public and private schools. Public schools, primary schools and secondary schools implement nine-year compulsory education without tuition fees.
▲ immediate family members benefit
Green card holders can apply for green card status with their spouses and unmarried children, and there is no age limit. Although traditional immigrant countries are tightening their immigration policies, South Korea can still apply for a Korean green card with older unmarried children under relaxed conditions, which is a great boon for those who want to take older children abroad. At the same time, after obtaining the Korean green card in the future, the grandchildren of investors can also take Korean status.
▲ Medical pension benefits
The medical expenses in Korea are quite high, but the medical expenses of Koreans are not so outrageous because their medical benefits are very good. South Korea's national health insurance provides insurance subsidies for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and childbirth, death and health promotion, so as to improve the national medical care and social security level.
If you hold a Korean green card, you can enjoy the same medical insurance benefits as Koreans, not only medical insurance, but also old-age benefits!
▲ Low taxes
There is no global tax for holders of Korean green cards. As long as they don't live in Korea as their main residence, all their income is tax-free. Only 4.6% deed tax is required for buying a house, and the property holding tax is low, which only needs 0. 15%-0.4% of the total property every year.

Real estate belongs to non-financial assets and does not belong to the scope of unified reporting standards. Buying a house can meet the needs of overseas asset allocation and green card status in one step, with high cost performance, and you can also add a coat to your assets.
▲ springboard of great powers
South Korea's green card processing is convenient and controllable, and the waiting time for applying for European and American countries through South Korea's green card is relatively controllable with few variables. South Korea has more places for immigrants from western countries because of its opening up and other reasons, but the number of applicants is less than that of China. The success rate of applying for immigration through investment and other channels every year is very high, and the waiting time is short.
