- Income is your taxable income on the NTS 소득금액증명 — not your contract salary. Deductions can make it lower than your gross pay.
- If taxable income is ₩40M+, the 3-year continuous-stay requirement is waived — you can apply earlier.
- A criminal fine of ₩3M+ within 3 years is a disqualification ground regardless of total score.
- Higher scores tend to receive longer periods of stay per issuance (up to 3 years). The exact grant is at the immigration office's discretion.

How this calculator works
F-2-7 is Korea's points-based long-term residency visa. You qualify at 80 points, drawn from up to 130 base points plus bonuses.
- Prerequisite first. You must hold an eligible visa (E-1–E-7-1 or D-5–D-9) with 3 years of continuous stay — waived if your prior-year taxable income was ₩40M or more. E-7-2/3/4 are excluded.
- Base points come from age, education, Korean ability (TOPIK / KIIP), and income.
- Bonus points add for a university degree, registered volunteering, KIIP level 5, a government recommendation, or Korean-War-ally talent.
- Deductions apply for immigration-law violations and criminal records.
Income means your National Tax Service income certificate (소득금액증명) — not your contract salary, and often lower after deductions. A criminal fine of ₩3M+ within 3 years is a hard disqualification, whatever your score.
Where points come from. The highest-return levers are Korean ability (TOPIK 4 adds +15, TOPIK 3 adds +10), a documented higher income bracket, a recognized university degree (+5 to +30), and registered volunteering (+1 to +7). Stacking two or three of these is usually what moves a borderline score over 80.
Frequently asked
- Does the cutoff change every round? No — the threshold is a fixed 80 points. What changes is the official points table itself; this calculator uses the March 2026 version.
- Which income figure counts? Your NTS income certificate (소득금액증명) for the prior year, not your gross contract salary.
- Can I apply before 3 years? Yes, if your prior-year income was ₩40M or more — that waives the continuous-stay requirement.
- Is this an official decision? No. It is a self-assessment estimate; verify on HiKorea or with a licensed immigration specialist (행정사) before applying.
