If your spouse is the one who will be working in Korea, you can obtain a dependents visa if you are legally married. The non-working partner of couples who are not married is not eligible for a dependents visa and will have to travel out of the country every 90 days.
If you have nanny/cook/driver/ etc. who have been with you and your family for many years, but who is not Korean, you can only sponsor her/him if you are a diplomat or if you (your company) have invested the equivalent of KRW500 billion or more. Note: not every expat working in such an invested company is eligible to sponsor a maid.

American, Canadian, Australian, South African, New Zealand, England, and Ireland citizens are the only ones that can get an E-2 visa. They must get an E-2 visa in order to teach at a public school or academy and have a minimum of a 4 year college degree.

Those with Korean ancestry (“Gyopo”) must apply for an F-4 VISA. The F-4 visa is valid for a maximum of 2 years.
