Pass mark: 80 points
Recognized max: 170
Table version: amended 2026-04-14
Your score: —

The F-2-7 grants long-term residence by points: you need 80 of a recognized 170 across age, education, Korean ability and income, plus bonus items. This calculator uses the official Ministry of Justice table (guideline as amended 2026-04-14), the same numbers verbatim. Points are necessary but not sufficient: you must also fall into an eligible applicant category below.
