🇰🇷✨ Important Update for Companies Hiring Foreign Talent in Korea ✨🇰🇷

The Ministry of Justice has announced new wage requirements for the E-7 visa through Public Notice No. 2025-106. These updated standards will apply from April 1 to December 31, 2025.

🔹 The E-7 visa allows companies in Korea to hire foreign professionals in designated fields. It includes four main categories:

E-7-1 (Specialized Professionals): Most office-based roles like marketers, developers, overseas sales reps, HR managers, etc.

E-7-2 (Semi-professionals): Roles such as medical coordinators, hotel receptionists, caregivers, etc.

E-7-3 (General Skilled Workers): Includes welders and painters in shipbuilding, etc.

E-7-4 (Skilled Industrial Workers): Experienced technicians in Korea’s root industries.

📊 What’s Changed?
Previously, wage requirements were based on a percentage of Korea’s GNI — 80% for most, 70% for SMEs and venture firms.
Now, a unified wage standard applies to all companies, regardless of size.

✅ This change aims to:

Simplify and clarify wage requirements

Make the foreign hiring process more consistent across the board

📌 If your company is planning to hire foreign talent, make sure to check the updated salary thresholds and start preparing now!
