Salary Strategy

Points start scaling significantly once you pass 40M KRW. If your salary is borderline, consider adding professional certifications or volunteer bonus points.

KIIP is Mandatory

In 2026, many bonus points are linked to Korean proficiency. Don't wait until the last month; start KIIP Level 0 or 1 from Year 1.

Target Score

80/200

Most successful applicants aim for 85+ points to have a buffer in case of calculation errors by immigration officers.
