· Reviewed by the editor
South Korea's Ministry of Justice announced reforms to the E-7-4 skilled worker visa system on Thursday. The revised pathway eases evaluation criteria for foreign workers on non-professional E-9 and maritime E-10 visas seeking long-term stay. The assessment reviews Korean language proficiency, local income levels, and duration of domestic employment.
So what
If you are working in Korea on an E-9 or E-10 visa, check the revised criteria to see if you qualify to transition to an E-7-4 visa.
