DescriptionThe official launch of the permanent Digital Nomad (F-1-D) visa program took place on June 30, 2026. The main change was a radical, twofold reduction in the annual income requirement (to $36,963) for young remote workers aged 18 to 34 who are willing to live outside Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi Province. This long-awaited relaxation of the rules is expected to trigger an avalanche of applications from professionals in the CIS. This bet invites predictions on whether the updated visa policy will be able to raise the overall bar and surpass the 700-visa mark (including those from the pilot project) by the end of the program’s first full month of operation.
ConditionsYes: if, as of July 31, 2026, official statistics from the South Korean Ministry of Justice or authorized agencies show a total of > 700 approved/issued Digital Nomad (F-1-D) since the program’s launch. No: if, as of July 31, 2026, the total number of approved visas is ≤ 700.
