Global Talents Fast-Track Program
  • Global Talents Fast-Track Program (GTFTP) is a fast-track program that allows KAIST MS/PhD graduates (along with those from a few other Korean institutions) to easily obtain Korean residency/citizenship. Usual requirements for getting permanent residency or dual citizenship of Korea are significantly reduced for KAIST graduates in recognition of their great potential as top science/engineering talents.
