International marriages in Korea are becoming more common. But behind the rising numbers lies a difficult truth: many of these marriages don’t last. According to recent statistics, one out of three multicultural couples in Korea divorces within five years, and many never receive the support they need during their most vulnerable moments.
For foreign spouses who come to Korea through marriage, the reality can be harsh — and the immigration process even harsher.
❗ Why Maintaining Marriage Can Be So Difficult
Foreign women, often in their 20s or 30s, are marrying Korean men in their 50s or 60s. These marriages sometimes begin with hope, but quickly face major challenges:
-
Severe age and cultural gaps
-
Language and communication barriers
-
Financial instability and lack of support
-
Feeling isolated or misunderstood in a new country
These difficulties often create emotional distance, misunderstandings, and in many cases, lead to early divorce.
📄 The Visa Process Is Complicated — and Crucial
The F-6 marriage visa is the gateway for a foreign spouse to legally live in Korea. But obtaining and maintaining this visa is far from simple.
Foreign spouses must:
-
Submit over 200 pages of documents (from financial proofs to health checks)
-
Pass or complete Korean language requirements
-
Prove genuine marriage intent and cohabitation
-
Attend interviews at immigration offices
-
Regularly renew or extend the visa depending on marriage status
If the marriage is at risk — due to abuse, neglect, or separation — the foreign spouse may lose visa eligibility and face deportation. Even in cases of genuine hardship, few know how to apply for an exception or alternative visa status.
