여기는 어떤 곳인가
The route for people of independent means closed decades ago, so without work or close family there is generally no way in. For those who do qualify, the health service is free at the point of use but you pay an upfront surcharge for access and then join waiting lists that are a live political issue. Costs are high, the language is easy, and the door is mostly shut.
절차는 이렇습니다
Find a qualifying visa
There is no passive-income or retirement category. Work, business or family are the realistic options.
Budget the health surcharge
Paid upfront for the whole visa length, per person.
Settlement after the qualifying period
Requires continuous residence plus language and knowledge-of-life tests. The qualifying period depends on the route and has been subject to change.
