Workation & Korean culture training visa

There're following are major changes in Korea slated for 2023 that primarily affect expats and foreign nationals planning to visit.  The first half of the year will see the debut of the "workcation" (work plus vacation) visa, tentatively dubbed the digital nomad visa, and another for training in Korean culture. The workcation visa allows residence in Korea for one to two years while the holder maintains a job back home. "Workcation" refers to a system of combining remote work with tourism. 

The visa for training in Korean culture is intended for teens wishing to learn about Hallyu like K-pop at related organizations with a maximum stay of two years.

 

Expats in Korea aged 7 or older can use the SES in a revision to the rule that limited its use to those aged 17 or older. The revision took effect on Jan. 1, and those eligible to use it should register for the service at 19 registration centers nationwide.

Expats under age 14 must be accompanied to a center by a parent or legal guardian who also hold the minor's ID and document certifying their relationship at a center and agree to provide personal information.

and plus the new foreign resident card will have a bigger photo of the bearer in color, easing the identification process while maintaining security features, as well as Q-Code for information processing.
