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.

The three printed purposes of OASIS-6 — identifying ideas and opening sales channels, investor connections with technology transaction and investment counseling — tied to the shared 30-point prerequisite row and the equal-division rule for joint participants

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 purposeAs the operator phrases it
Identify ideas and itemsFind opportunities to identify foreigners' creative intellectual property ideas and start-up items
Open sales channelsPrinted as part of the same description
Connect capitalConnect 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 rowPoints
IPR holder, patent60
IPR holder, utility model or design30
Co-inventor on a registered patent30
Co-inventor on a utility model or design10
Applicant of IPR, patentUp to 10
Applicant of IPR, utility model or design5
Government startup support programs OR OASIS 6 OR OASIS 930
E-1 or E-3 stay over 3 years30
Secured investment of 100+ million KRW60

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?
30 points, on the prerequisite side of the D-8-4 matrix. It sits in the row naming government startup support programs, OASIS 6 and OASIS 9 together — at least one prerequisite item is required for a D-8-4 award.
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?
No. The operator prints that points divide equally among joint participants. By that printed rule, two people on one participation record score 15 points each.
Is OASIS-6 a course I attend for hours?
No printed hours or syllabus exist for OASIS-6. It is an exhibition item: the listing prints purposes and a points row, but no curriculum, attendance rule or venue details on the page.
How does OASIS-6 compare with OASIS-9 on points?
They share the same row. The prerequisite table prints government startup support programs, OASIS 6 and OASIS 9 together at 30 points. The two items are separate programmes with the same printed score.
Where do I find OASIS-6 dates?
The operator's schedule page carries the published rounds. The about page itself prints no calendar, venue or entry route for the exhibition.
What else satisfies the prerequisite requirement?
The prerequisite table names IPR items (a held patent at 60, co-invention at 30 or 10, an application at up to 10 or 5), the government-programme/OASIS-6/OASIS-9 row at 30, an E-1 or E-3 stay above 3 years at 30, and a secured investment of 100+ million KRW at 60.
