Seoul to resolve US visa issues ahead of $450b investment

The Straits Times

|

September 20, 2025

South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said on Sept 19 that the government will work to address problems faced by South Korean workers with US visas before proceeding with a US$350 billion (S$450 billion) investment package that is part of a bilateral trade deal.

His remarks come after a recent US immigration raid resulted in the arrests of hundreds of South Korean workers at a Hyundai Motor battery plant in the state of Georgia.

Most of the workers returned to South Korea last week, but the incident prompted calls from companies for a new visa category to make it easier for skilled South Korean workers to help set up new factories and train US workers.
