📢 The Dream Visa for Foreign Workers! Core Guide to the E-7-4 (Skilled Worker) Visa
To all the hardworking E-9, E-10, and H-2 visa workers in Korea! Do you want to continue staying in Korea and live with your family? If so, pay attention to the surest way: the E-7-4 visa!
💡 Why is the E-7-4 visa so good?
• Long-term stay possible: You can extend your stay and live in Korea long-term without needing to leave and re-enter, as long as you meet the conditions.
• Family invitation possible: You can invite your spouse and minor children (F-3 visa, etc.) to live together in Korea.
• Stepping stone to Permanent Residency (F-5): It serves as a solid stepping stone for obtaining a resident (F-2) and permanent residency visa in the future.
📋 What are the basic qualifications?
• Legally stayed for 4 years or more within the last 10 years (E-9, E-10, H-2 status).
• Currently employed normally, with an average annual income of 26 million KRW or more over the last 2 years (24 million KRW or more for some industries like agriculture, livestock, and fishery).
• Must be included within the permitted quota for foreign employment at your current company.
🎯 The Key to Success, K-point 2000 System! (Minimum 200 points required)
You must receive at least 200 points out of a total of 2,000 points to apply for the E-7-4 visa. Please remember these 3 core tips to pass at once!
1️⃣ Korean language proficiency is life: It is practically difficult to surpass the passing score without completing TOPIK Level 3 or higher, or the Korea Immigration and Integration Program (KIIP) Level 3 or higher. The higher your score, the overwhelmingly advantageous it is!
2️⃣ Securing an employer's (boss's) recommendation is essential: If you have a recommendation letter from your company, central government, or local government, significant bonus points are awarded, making the probability of passing very high. Maintaining a good relationship with your company is important.
3️⃣ Strict criminal and tax management: If you have a history of minor tax arrears, criminal records with fines, or violations of the Immigration Act, your points may be deducted or your visa issuance may be restricted, so thorough management is necessary at all times.
The E-7-4 visa may seem strict, but since it is thoroughly point-based, you have a high chance of success just by firmly securing two things: 'Income' and 'Korean proficiency'.
Check your score right now through self-diagnosis and prepare for a stable life in Korea!
