A foreigner has entered Korea for the purpose of a tourist visit and stayed in Korea illegally.If the foreigner wants to start a business in Korea with the money from the lottery, is it possible to obtain a D-8 visa without leaving the country?

In general, a holder of an E-9 visa is not eligible to get a D-8 visa. However, it is possible to apply for a change of sojourn status to obtain a D-8 visa. But due to the illegal residence of the foreigner, he will be subject to strict investigation.In this case, the foreigner has to prove that he won the first prize in the lottery as well as that his business will help the Korean economy and increase the employment rate, as this is better than just living only on the interest from the lottery prize.
