Capital Requirements and Exemption for Business Registration

In plain language

Commercial drone businesses generally need at least 30 million KRW in capital. However, this capital requirement is waived if you only operate drones weighing 25 kg or less.

Requirement as structured

To register an ultra-light flying device business, the applicant must have capital or asset valuation of 30 million KRW or more, except when the business uses only unmanned flying devices with a maximum take-off weight (MTOM) of 25 kg or less.
