Requirements & documents

What the route actually requires

The baseline is visible before intake. Conditional work is confirmed before you pay.

Baseline dossier

  • Passport for each foreign individual investor and representative
  • Residential address and tax-residence details
  • Shareholding, beneficial-owner and director map
  • Business activity, address needs and expected money flows
  • Investor signature/POA package required by the confirmed route

Only when your case requires it

  • Apostille, consular confirmation or certified Korean translation
  • Corporate investor certificate, articles and shareholder list
  • Business licence or sector permit
  • Foreign investment notification records
  • Original documents or local presence for the chosen bank/provider

Company and investment route

A foreign-invested company under the FIPA baseline generally involves at least KRW 100 million and at least 10% of voting shares for managerial participation. A different legal route may still be possible, but it must not be presented as the same status.

Investor record

Confirm individual or corporate investor identity, ownership, directors, nationality evidence, signatures/POA, and any apostille or translation requirement.

Address and activity

The Korean address and lease evidence must be compatible with the actual business, registration, tax office, and any sector-specific permission.

Capital and registration

Follow the confirmed notification/remittance route, incorporation registration, business registration, and foreign-invested-company registration when applicable.

Before you start

Is KRW 100 million always required?

It is the baseline threshold, together with at least 10% of voting shares, for recognition as a foreign-invested company under the FIPA route described by Invest KOREA. It is not a universal statement that every foreign-owned Korean corporation must use that status. We confirm the intended route before quoting.

Can everything be completed remotely?

Preparation and coordination can be remote, but originals, authentication, local representation, bank/provider checks, or presence can still be required. The page does not promise a fully remote bank or authority outcome before the route is confirmed.

Does Aphelor provide Korean accounting?

The eligible Complete baseline includes agreed bookkeeping and tax work delivered through a named Korean tax professional or CPA. Company Desk alone is the operating record and coordination layer.

Scope and transparent pricing
