Have you heard about chances in which F-3 or spousal visa is denied? Is it possible not to be granted F-3 visa after application?

Spousal visa is an F-2 not an F-3, unless they have changed the designation recently. And yes, you can be denied, especially if immi thinks you married just to get the VISA.

An F-3 VISA is issued to spouses of non Koreans working in Korea. F-2's
involve persons married to a Korean citizen. I think the former is what the OP was asking about.

OP - yes immigration can deny a VISA for any reason they wan't but I personally have never heard of one being denied to anyone I know. My wife is here on an F-3 and there weren't any questions when we applied in Bangkok for the VISA. It was issued the next day. The only times I hav heard of someone having trouble and being denied is when they are trying to get their girlfriend over here to live with them. Korean immigration won't issue a VISA unless you are married.

Sorry, I didn't know about the F3 VISA, but yes, the F2 is for someone married to a Korean.

OP-Good luck.

I'm so glad to know that I already have my visa for Korea.
But it's not F-3 visa; it's C-3.
We will just change it to F-3 when I get there.
Ty guys!
