How many points is OASIS-5 worth?

15 points, as an elective item. The operator's elective pool scores OASIS-5, OASIS-7 and OASIS-8 at 15 points each, and a D-8-4 award needs 60 points with at least one prerequisite item.

What is the minimum coaching that scores the OASIS-5 points?

A minimum of 6 hours (3 sessions) of exclusive coaching and mentoring counts as points, per the printed listing. The operator's worked example shows 10 hours and the same 15-point row; the page prints no scoring scale between six hours and any larger count.

Who does the coaching?

The listing names two sources: a start-up immigration mentor, or experts, in one-on-one coaching. Experience sharing and a site visit are printed alongside as parts of the service.

What topics does the coaching cover?

The printed description names the issues necessary for a business start-up, including selecting a location, market research and customer analysis. The operator publishes no session plan, mentor roster or matching process on the page.

Why do other sites describe a different OASIS-5?

The operator's own pages do. The D-8-4 page names OASIS-5 as Start-Up Coaching & Mentoring, while its D-9-1 trade page prints "Advanced Trading Course (OASIS 5)" with the same coaching description underneath. Both appear on the operator's own site; this post quotes both and picks neither.

Does OASIS-5 count as a prerequisite item?

No. It is one of the elective items, scored at 15. The prerequisite pool — IPR items, government-programme or OASIS-6/9 acceptance, long E-1/E-3 stays or secured investment of ₩100 million or more — still has to appear on the sheet at least once.

How does OASIS-5 compare in points to the courses?

The courses OASIS-1, OASIS-2 and OASIS-4 score 10 points each; OASIS-5 scores 15. The operator's 60-point worked example stacks OASIS-4, OASIS-5 at 10 hours, OASIS-8, OASIS-1 and a patent application to reach exactly 60 points.

OASIS-5 Start-Up Coaching and Mentoring: 15 points from a minimum of 6 hours on the D-8-4 matrix

OASIS-5 창업 코칭·멘토링 — D-8-4 매트릭스에서 15점

OASIS-5 is the coaching and mentoring item on Korea's D-8-4 start-up visa matrix: 15 elective points, one-on-one sessions with a start-up immigration mentor or experts, and a recognised minimum of 6 hours across 3 sessions. What the operator prints — and one numbering clash it leaves standing across its own two pages.

When it runs, and how to apply

The three printed parts of OASIS-5 — the named topic areas, the one-on-one format, and the recognised 6-hour minimum across 3 sessions — with the 15-point elective row and the worked example's 10-hour figure below

Most of the operator's items teach or fund. OASIS-5 supports the founder directly.

The operator prints the aim in one line: minimize the start-up failure rate early on. The method: one-on-one coaching from a start-up immigration mentor or experts, experience sharing, and a site visit.

What the coaching covers

The printed scope names the issues necessary for a business start-up, and three topics follow it in the listing:

Printed topic area	Inside the listing
Selecting a location	Named in the service description
Market research	Named in the service description
Customer analysis	Named in the service description

That is the full printed list. The operator does not publish session content, mentor profiles, or how topics are matched to participants on this page.

The recognised minimum

The recognition rule is the only number the listing prints: a minimum of 6 hours (3 sessions) of exclusive coaching and mentoring counts as points.

Fact	Printed value
Named item	OASIS-5, Start-Up Coaching & Mentoring
Points in the elective pool	15 (each, alongside OASIS-7 and OASIS-8)
Recognised minimum	6 hours, 3 sessions
Worked-example figure	10 hours, 15 points
Format	One-on-one, mentor or experts

The elective threshold still sits at 60 points with at least one prerequisite item. The worked example reaches exactly 60 by stacking OASIS-4, OASIS-5, OASIS-8, OASIS-1 and a patent application.

The numbering clash the two pages leave open

The operator publishes two visa pages. On the D-8-4 page, OASIS-5 is Start-Up Coaching & Mentoring — the item above. On the D-9-1 trade page, the same operator prints "Advanced Trading Course (OASIS 5)" with the identical coaching-and-mentoring description underneath.

Rounds open on the operator's published schedule. The live calendar tracks each round as it opens, including the centre running it and the application window for each round.

When it runs, and how to apply

Coaching has no round. The schedule page marks it as on-request intake, so the application goes in when you are ready rather than when a window opens.

Readiness is the gate. The operator asks for a business idea that is already specific and a working MVP. The support runs as three sessions, each with a task to finish first.

One naming trap sits on the same page. The trade programme's Advanced Trading Course also carries the OASIS-5 label, priced there at 5 points for D-9-1 holders.
