FAQ

The Most Common Questions About Legal Services for Foreigners

Find answers to common questions about legal services for foreigners

Step-by-step flat-fee packages make your budget clear from day one

We never leave you guessing. Choose only what you need — investment reporting only, incorporation plus business registration, or tax and HR setup all at once — each at a fixed price. Government charges such as registration license tax are billed at cost and disclosed upfront. A tailored quote follows a free consultation.

With a power of attorney, most steps are handled remotely

You do not need to come in person. With a power of attorney we handle investment reporting, incorporation, and business registration remotely. The few items you handle yourself (capital remittance, local notarization of certain documents) are organized into a checklist upfront, and progress is shared in real time on an English online page.

Typically KRW 100M or more — we check industry restrictions first

To qualify as foreign direct investment, the benchmark is typically KRW 100 million or more. Some industries restrict foreign investment, so we first confirm whether your business can enter. Conditions differ by nationality and industry — we pin them down precisely in consultation.

Tax and HR systems are set up together with incorporation

Alongside incorporation we set up your tax reporting structure and HR foundations — English work rules, employment contracts, and the four major insurances — in one go. After setup, we stay on as your ongoing advisory partner.

One team, end to end, at a sensible cost

You can communicate comfortably in English. Our greatest strength: one team stays responsible from investment reporting through incorporation, tax, and HR — and beyond. No need to shop around, and no oversized big-firm fees for comprehensive support. We also flag legal risks of living in Korea before they become problems. From start to finish, we are your closest guide to entering Korea.

Yes, under the Foreign Investment Promotion Act

Yes. Under the Foreign Investment Promotion Act, foreigners can establish a company by investing KRW 100 million or more and acquiring 10%+ of voting shares. The process takes approximately 2 weeks, and Insight handles everything from FDI filing to business registration.

Yes, convictions may lead to visa cancellation or deportation

Yes, if a foreigner receives criminal punishment, they may face visa cancellation or deportation under the Immigration Act. DUI, drugs, and assault directly impact visa status. Insight deploys criminal and immigration teams simultaneously for parallel defense.

Initial consultation is free; quotes provided per case

Initial consultation is free. Individual quotes are provided based on case complexity. For corporate advisory, subscription plans start from KRW 300,000/month. Labor cases operate on minimum fee + 10% success fee.

Direct consultation available in English, Japanese, and Chinese

Three US-barred attorneys consult directly in English, and labor consultant Park Ji-hyang also speaks English. Japanese and Chinese interpretation support is available. Select your preferred language when booking.

You can file a remedy within 3 months from dismissal date

You can file an unfair dismissal remedy with the Labor Relations Commission within 3 months of dismissal. Our labor experts analyze your case and represent you through the entire process.
