Under either of the following conditions, a marriage immigrant can be the invitor.

Exceptionally, a marriage immigrant may invite if they meet any of the following conditions.

  • A marriage immigrant who currently holds permanent residence status (F-5-2)

  • A marriage immigrant who has acquired Korean nationality, and before acquiring Korean nationality, stayed in Korea with F-6 or F-5-2 status.

  • A marriage immigrant who has raised his or her children as a single parent even though the marriage has ended. (In this case, the marriage immigrant can be the inviter regardless of whether he or she has acquired Korean nationality or has permanent residence status.)
