That's actually surprisingly low. For reference, the median US remote employee makes $63,323[1] per year which means roughly 50% of US remote employees are eligible for a Korean work visa.

- smith7018 3y agoFrom a quick Google search, the average monthly remote salary in Europe is reportedly $5.3k - $6.9k[1]. That translates to $63.6k - $82.8k. I can't verify these numbers, of course.

- rmbyrro 3y agoI don't think it's meaningless on this context. Even the lower level of the average developer income in Europe would qualify. It shows the visa requirements are quite inclusive.
- smith7018 3y agoThe US average salary is also lower than a California or New York resident but that doesn't mean the metric is bad. It simply means that ~50% of remote workers in America can move to Korea. Unfortunately, that also means ~50% of people can't. The same goes for Europe.
- lo_zamoyski 3y agoBut a meaningless comparison. Purchasing power is what matters.
- sangnoir 3y agoNot for the Korean nomad visa it is not.
- CitizenKane 3y agoEh, it depends. I actually know quite a few folks in SE Asia that would likely qualify for this. Not to mention Taiwan, Japan, etc.
- diggan 3y agoI cannot see that page, it just takes me to the homepage. But that sounds a bit high. I wonder how that number looks if you exclude San Francisco/Bay area which probably drives up that number by a lot.
- zo1 3y agoYou're thinking of the "mean" or average. What OP mentioned is the median which doesn't get affected as much by large outliers.
