My father is a Bangladeshi national and has lived in Korea for more than 20 years. However, he has not obtained his nationality, and he is staying with a child-rearing visa.
My mother left home in 2009 due to divorce, and my father married a Bangladeshi woman this time.

I invited her to Korea, but her visa was not granted due to concerns about her illegal stay (in my sister's name).
I want to let him live together in Korea so that he won't be lonely this time, but I don't know how to apply for a visa and whose name to use.
My father raised us for 20 years and lived a lonely life, and finally met stepmother, but I feel so bad about being separated, and now I hope he is happy.

Hello?

1. Your father must have had a hard time raising three children by himself. Currently, the visa for the father, who is a Bangladeshi national, to stay in Korea is considered F-6-2 (child rearing).

2. For these people, you can apply for a change to an F-2 (resident) visa that can live in Korea for a long time. The subject of application for change and qualification requirements are as follows.

A. Target: Foreign parents who raised their children born with a Korean spouse until they reach adulthood (19 years old) after breaking off their marriage relationship with the Korean people

B. Qualification: Stay for at least 5 years legally as of the date of application as a child rearing visa (F-6)

C. Basic requirements for settlement in Korea: the ability to establish behavior and maintain a living (40% of the standard median income), basic skills (completed at least 4 stages of the social integration program)

3. Once the father's residence status is changed from F-6-2 to F-2 visa as described above, the remarried Bangladeshi stepmother (marriage relationship certificate required) can be invited to the F-1 (visiting residence) visa.
