Essential Guide to LLC Directorship: Understanding the Legal Requirements

The establishment of a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Korea involves a spectrum of considerations, chief among them being the selection of a director. As stipulated by Commercial Law Article 561, the appointment of a director is a prerequisite for an LLC, with specific requirements for both residents and non-residents.

For non-resident directors, the law imposes no restrictions, making it an open field for potential candidates. However, it's worth noting that North Korean passport holders are exempt from this provision.

Resident directors, on the other hand, must be visa holders with appropriate work permits. This could pose a challenge for E series visa holders who would require an additional work permit to qualify.

When compared to a C-Corporation (C-Corp), an LLC holds several advantages. For instance, there's no requirement for an auditor, nor is there a need to extend directorship every three years as is the case with C-Corps.

To successfully establish an LLC, you need to consider the following details:

1. Company name

2. Directors' names

3. Shareholders' names

4. Business address

5. Purpose of the business

6. Paid-in-capital
