How To Apply For A South Korea Digital Nomad Visa If You're Filipino
Have you ever felt like your trip to Korea was cut short? Do you dream of getting to live (and maybe work?) abroad, at least for a couple of years? Well, the new digital nomad visa of South Korea might be your best bet.
What Is A Digital Nomad Visa?
A digital nomad visa is a specialized visa for individuals who wish to work remotely while residing in a foreign country.
Visitors to South Korea were required to apply for tourist visas or just stay for less than 90 days without a visa. Due to a rise in the "workation" trend, the new digital nomad visa (officially called a workation visa (F-1-D)) will allow foreigners to work and stay in Korea for up to two years.
