Can I settle to South korea by investment program after studying in an online university?

Yes, it is possible to settle in South Korea through an investment program after studying in an online university. South Korea offers various visa options for individuals who wish to invest in the country, such as the Investor Visa (D-8) or the Business Start-up Visa (D-8-4).

However, it is important to note that the requirements for these visas may vary and it is recommended to consult with the South Korean embassy or a legal advisor for specific information on the investment program and visa options available to you. Additionally, meeting the investment requirements and demonstrating a viable business plan will be crucial in obtaining a visa through the investment program.

No, you cannot settle in South Korea by investment program based on an online university degree alone.

The Republic of Korea's investment-based immigration program, known as the F-2 Visa, has specific requirements for applicants, including the following:

- Investment amount: You must invest at least 500 million won (approximately $430,000) in a Korean business or real estate.
- Business experience: You must have at least three years of business experience in the relevant field of your investment.
- Education: You must have a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited university in a relevant field.

An online university degree from a non-Korean institution may not be considered equivalent to a degree from an accredited Korean university for the purposes of immigration.

To be eligible for the F-2 Visa, you must:

- Study at an accredited university in South Korea (not an online university) for at least one full academic year.
- Earn a bachelor's degree or higher in a field related to your intended investment.
- Meet the other requirements listed above.

After completing your studies, you can apply for the F-2 Visa and invest in South Korea to obtain permanent residency.
