OASIS 1 Lecture Review: What Foreign Tech Founders Need Before Applying for a Startup Visa

On August 8, 2026, I delivered an OASIS 1 lecture at the Chungbuk Global Startup Immigration Center in Osong.

OASIS Startup Visa Lecture Review — D-8, D-9, or D-10: Which Visa Fits Your Business in Korea?

On June 27, I gave another OASIS startup visa lecture for foreign entrepreneurs at the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development in Yeoksam-dong. This session expanded the discussion beyond D-8-4 and D-10-2 to include D-9-4 for foreign sole proprietors, focusing on how visa strategy changes depending on business structure, activity type, investment, and future renewal planning.

OASIS Program Lecture — For Startup Visas, the First Renewal Matters More Than the First Approval

At the OASIS Program lecture, the key message was clear: a foreign founder’s startup visa strategy should not stop at first issuance. D-8-4, D-10-2, D-9-1, and other startup-related visa routes must be planned together with business structure, incorporation, intellectual property, operating records, revenue, employment, and renewal evidence.
