    • Tourist visa to South Korea for a domestic helper

    A tourist visa to South Korea is granted for a domestic helper who will be travelling to Korea with her employer for humanitarian reasons such as looking after the elderly, young children, person requiring special assistance. A domestic helper must be hired by the employer for at least 6 months at the time of visa application in order to be eligible. A domestic helper is allowed to enter Korea once a year (i.e every 12 months) and the employer is allowed to bring one domestic helper per trip.
