OASIS-6, Invention Start-Up Exhibition: the 30 prerequisite points on the D-8-4 matrix
OASIS-6 발명·창업 박람회 — D-8-4 매트릭스의 30점
OASIS-6 is Invention, Start-Up Exhibition on Korea's D-8-4 start-up visa matrix — a prerequisite-side item at 30 points, with the operator printing sales channels, investor connections, technology transaction and investment counseling as its job description. What the operator page says about it.

On this page
One item on the operator's list is an event. OASIS-6 is an exhibition. Its 30 points sit on the side of the matrix that most founders struggle to reach.
The Global Start-up Immigration Center operates it. The Minister of Justice and the Minister of SMEs and Startups designated that centre — the operator, not a ministry.
What the operator says the exhibition does
The listing gives the item three printed purposes:
| Printed purpose | As the operator phrases it |
|---|---|
| Identify ideas and items | Find opportunities to identify foreigners' creative intellectual property ideas and start-up items |
| Open sales channels | Printed as part of the same description |
| Connect capital | Connect investors, promote technology transaction and investment counseling among participants |
The page prints three near-overlapping sentences of description for the item. They name the same activities: identifying outstanding and inventive start-up items, technology transaction, investment counseling.
Where 30 points sits
OASIS-6 does not live in the elective pool. It appears in the prerequisite table, in a mixed row:
| Prerequisite row | Points |
|---|---|
| IPR holder, patent | 60 |
| IPR holder, utility model or design | 30 |
| Co-inventor on a registered patent | 30 |
| Co-inventor on a utility model or design | 10 |
| Applicant of IPR, patent | Up to 10 |
| Applicant of IPR, utility model or design | 5 |
| Government startup support programs OR OASIS 6 OR OASIS 9 | 30 |
| E-1 or E-3 stay over 3 years | 30 |
| Secured investment of 100+ million KRW | 60 |
The prerequisite pool prints 180 points in total. At least one piece of it must appear on a D-8-4 sheet. OASIS-6 offers a way into that pool that needs no filing, no prior visa history, and no investment.
The secured-investment row scores 60. The operator prints its items and its points in separate blocks, so the row reads by position, nine values against nine cells.
The pool total confirms it. Capped IP points at 60, plus 30, plus 30, plus 60, make the 180 the operator prints.
What the page does not print
The listing gives no calendar, venue, entry route or award structure for the exhibition. No rounds section, no application form and no list of past exhibitions appear on this page. Only the description and the points row.
Rounds open on the operator's published schedule. The live calendar tracks each round as it opens, centre by centre, with each application window.
When it runs, and how to apply
The operator keeps one schedule page for the whole programme. It prints an application window, an announcement date and class days, round by round.
It prints no round for OASIS-6. Treat that page as where a round would appear, and ask the centre directly in the meantime.
An exhibition has to be scheduled somewhere. The absence is the operator's publishing gap, not proof that no exhibition runs.

Frequently asked questions
- How many points is OASIS-6 worth?

- What is the OASIS-6 exhibition for?
- The printed description names identifying foreigners' creative intellectual property ideas and start-up items, opening sales channels, connecting investors, and promoting technology transaction and investment counseling among participants.
- Do two people on one OASIS-6 record each score 30 points?
