1-year initial grant, renewable annually, extended from a 2-year to a 3-year total cap per a 2026-07-07 Ministry of Justice announcement - corroborated across 5+ independent secondary sources (incl. a EY Global tax alert and an immigration law firm), not yet read on an official Korean government page directly (hikorea.go.kr/immigration.go.kr/mofa.go.kr all 403 on direct fetch).

Per the 2026-07-07 Ministry of Justice announcement (visa relaunched as permanent 2026-06-30, replacing the pilot's flat 2x-GNI rule with this tiered formula). USD 73,926 is the only one of two competing figures (vs an unexplained USD 65,800 that recurs on some guide sites) that checks out arithmetically as 2x the well-corroborated USD 36,963 2025 GNI base; USD 65,800 does not resurface in this pass's independent coverage. Not marked 'official' - hikorea.go.kr, immigration.go.kr and mofa.go.kr all still 403 on direct fetch, so no primary Korean-government page has been read. The full official multiplier table for intermediate age/region combinations remains unpublished anywhere found - treat the two-tier figures above as the load-bearing ones, not a complete table.
