[Global Startup Immigration Center] Recruiting Participants for Oasis-1

Hello everyone!

After some time supporting foreigners in Korea for their visas, I see that many foreigners living in Korea are not yet fully aware of - or making the most of - the Startup Visa pathways and the OASIS (Overall Assistance for Startup Immigration System) program. In reality, this is one of the most structured and reliable routes to launch a tech-based startup and legally stay in Korea.
In simple terms, if you are aiming for visas such as D-8-4 (Startup Visa) or D-10-2 (Job Seeker / Startup Preparation Visa), OASIS is the official program that helps you earn points and gain essential knowledge required for eligibility. The program is jointly managed by Ministry of Justice and Ministry of SMEs and Startups, ensuring strong policy alignment and practical relevance.
Currently, the Global Startup Immigration Center operated by KMAC is accepting applications for OASIS-1 - an entry-level course designed for aspiring foreign entrepreneurs.

📌 What you will gain:
Foundational knowledge of intellectual property (e.g., patents)—critical for tech startups
Clear understanding of startup regulations and visa requirements in Korea
Practical insights into launching and operating a tech-based business
Fully conducted in English (no Korean required)
