South Korea runs an official, named visa program specifically for remote workers and freelancers employed by or contracting with companies outside the country.

Digital nomad visa programs, income thresholds, and durations change frequently as countries launch, adjust, or discontinue them — always verify current requirements on the destination's official immigration or foreign ministry website before applying, and note that most programs still require you to be employed by or contracting with a company outside the destination country.
