Law firm Veat received a request from startup A (hereinafter referred to as "the client") and reviewed the foreign exchange transaction reporting guidelines for foreign investors wishing to invest in unlisted domestic companies through the Foreign Exchange Reporting Center.

Furthermore, we helped foreign investors understand complex legal requirements and systematically prepare for everything needed.

Furthermore, Law firm Veat Foreign Exchange Reporting Center provided detailed advice on factors that foreign investors should practically consider when making investments in the country, helping them comprehensively consider the legal environment when making investment decisions.

Improved Foreign Investment System and Foreign Exchange Reporting through the Foreign Exchange Reporting Center

Recently, the Financial Supervisory Service distributed a guide on the foreign investment system (23.12.14, Financial Supervisory Service Business Explanation) to announce a significant improvement in the accessibility of domestic investment for foreign investors. The abolition of the foreign investor registration system and the easing of the final investment details reporting obligation by the integrated account name have made it easier for foreign investors to access and invest in unlisted domestic companies. This news is positive not only for foreign investors but also for startups seeking foreign investment.

According to the revised regulations, foreigners wishing to invest in domestically listed securities can invest without a prior registration process, improving the convenience of foreign securities transactions by improving the reporting cycle to once a month, expanding the types of transactions subject to post-reporting, etc. provides greater flexibility to foreign investors, and is expected to allow foreign investors to participate more actively in the domestic market and open up diverse investment opportunities for domestic companies.
