Which business visa are you talking about? I can think of at least two that are "business" visas. One is like a one-year tourist visa. You can go to Korea to "conduct business" (like negotiations, or work paid outside Korea) but not be paid within Korea. You can get one of these if you have a sponsoring organization, like a major company, that is outside of Korea. You would not be allowed to be a caretaker in Korea. You're not allowed to work on the local economy on this type of business visa. Many people break the law and do it anyway, but it's technically illegal and you could be fined and deported. Another "business" visa is the Treaty Investor D-8 visa. If you want to set up a full-scale caretaking business in Korea, you can do it with a D-8. The requirements for the D-8 (minimum): - 50,000,000 won invested in Korea - Proof that you can hire at least two regular employees who are Korean, full-time Neither visa will allow you to go to Korea and be self-employed as a caretaker on your own, at least not legally.
