How many points is OASIS-8 worth?

15 points, as an elective item alongside OASIS-5 and OASIS-7. The operator's worked example uses it at 2 weeks for 15 points on the way to exactly 60.

What support does OASIS-8 provide?

Two printed lines: support for the preparation procedure and administrative affairs to help foreigners obtain the start-up visa (D-8-4), and comprehensive assistance in administration and corporate registration required to establish the corporation.

Is the corporation required for the D-8-4 visa, or optional?

Required, per the printed requirements: the requirements section lists 60 points or more, a degree or operator letter, AND corporation establishment as three separate legs. The operator describes the step as imperative.

Does establishing the corporation also satisfy the prerequisite-item rule?

The page prints no such bridge. The prerequisite pool names IPR items, the government-programme/OASIS-6/OASIS-9 row, long E-1/E-3 stays and secured investment of ₩100 million or more — corporation establishment scores 15 elective points and sits in no prerequisite row on the printed table.

How long does the OASIS-8 support take?

The operator's worked example prints 2 weeks for the item. No other timetable appears on the page, and no printed statement ties the figure to any specific case.

What does OASIS-8 cost?

The operator prints no fee for the support on the page. Nothing is claimed about cost here; the operator's contact details sit on the same page.

How is OASIS-8 different from the shareholder or investment items?

The printed tables do not treat them together. OASIS-8 scores the establishment support at 15 elective points; secured investment of 100+ million KRW is a separate prerequisite row worth 60, defined in a footnote as investments, loans or guarantees from ACs, VCs or policy financing institutions, verified and recommended by the centre.

OASIS-8, Support for corporation establishment: the 15-point item on the D-8-4 matrix

OASIS-8 법인 설립 지원 — D-8-4 매트릭스의 15점

Published 21 September 20263 min read3 primary sources

OASIS-8 is Support for corporation establishment on Korea's D-8-4 start-up visa matrix: 15 elective points for a step the operator also lists as a bare requirement — the corporation itself. What the operator prints about the support, its printed two-week worked-example figure, and how the two roles sit next to each other.

When it runs, and how to apply

The printed two-sided role of OASIS-8 — the support side with preparation procedure, administrative affairs and corporate registration, and the requirement side naming corporation establishment among the printed D-8-4 conditions — with the 15-point elective row and the two-week worked-example figure below

Every scored item on the operator's list has a rival on the elective table. This one is different: the thing it scores is also on the printed requirements page.

That makes OASIS-8 the item where a founder needs the thing regardless, and the 15 points arrive for having it supported.

The requirement, printed twice over

The requirements section for the start-up visa prints three legs:

Requirement leg	As printed
Degree or letter	Bachelor's or Associate's degree (only Korea), or a Global Start-up Immigration Center letter
Points	60 points or more, with at least one prerequisite item
Corporation	Corporation establishment

The corporation leg stands as its own line. It appears in every printed path — the worked example, the requirements, the item description all carry it.

The support, as the operator prints it

Inside that requirement sits the support item. The print: support the establishment of corporation, described as imperative to achieve a start-up visa for successful start-up immigration.

The support splits into two printed lines:

Printed support line	Content
Preparation procedure and administrative affairs	For foreigners obtaining the start-up visa (D-8-4)
Comprehensive assistance	In administration and corporate registration required to establish the corporation

The elective row then scores the outcome:

Fact	Printed value
Named item	OASIS-8, Support for corporation establishment
Points in the elective pool	15 (each, alongside OASIS-5 and OASIS-7)
Worked-example figure	2 weeks, 15 points
Support content published	Two printed lines above
Cost published	None

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

Corporation support is on-request intake on the schedule page, not a round. Two printed conditions decide whether you can use it at all.

The company has to be a corporation. A liaison office, a branch office, a sole proprietorship and a non-profit are all printed as not accepted.

The visa you hold at the time also decides it. Incorporation is permitted only on the D-10-2 start-up preparation visa. A tourist or student visa does not qualify.

That ordering explains the printed route. Short-term visa, the start-up class, a change to D-10-2, then incorporation, an IP application, 60 points, and D-8-4.
