Please feel free to call me in advance before you face serious visa issues!!!!! 여러분들에게 심각한 비자 문제가 생기기 전에 미리 제게 부담없이 전화를 주세요!!!!!

I have received many calls from foreign workers yesterday and today.

I am aware that there are many problems regarding companies and visas while working in Korea.

There is a person who held an E-7-4 visa and suddenly notified the company he had worked for for over five years, saying, "I want to go to another company. I want to quit," simply because he disliked the company.

Another person held an E-7-4R visa and, after hearing from someone else that there was a better company, left the company he had worked for for six months, saying, "Boss, there is no work here, so I'm going somewhere else."

There is also a story about someone who went to the immigration office to extend their F-2 visa, but upon being told that the extension was not possible, became angry and shouted at the office staff, demanding to know why the extension wouldn't be granted.

There is also a case where someone wanted to visit his home country for the first time in a while and spoke to their company. However, the company responded, "I'm sorry, but we have too much work right now. If you go on vacation to your hometown, there won't be anyone to do the work. Once this busy period passes, I will let you go." But the worker reportedly quit, asking, "Why won't you let me go on vacation to my hometown when I want to?"

I fully understand the feelings of foreign workers currently employed in Korea.

I know because I lived in the U.S. for a long time myself. I know just how much they want to go back home and spend their vacation... And having worked in companies for a long time myself, I know they want to move to a company that pays better, and they don't want to do the hard work themselves... They want to go to a company where the work is easy but the salary is high...

However.....................

The important thing is that, unlike Koreans, the visa system is always a problem for foreigners staying in Korea.

If you quit your job based on momentary emotions, you might feel at ease, but have you thought about what comes next?

Please... don't feel pressured to do anything first; just give me a call. 제발...무슨 일을 먼저 하기 전에 부담 갖지 말고 제게 전화 주세요.

Everything has a step. You must first try to understand the proper step and resolve the issue effectively. If you approach everything solely with emotion, a positive outcome cannot be achieved between the company and you.

You are welcome to make an appointment, or you can send a text message detailing the issue you wish to discuss in Korean or English, and I try on my best to find a solution during the consultation.

"I must consider that I can only provide consultation and brainstorm solutions before you resolve the problem yourself. Please, leave a text message, and I will provide a consultation; so please do not hesitate to call me before any problems arise!!!" 다시한번 말씀 드리지만 제가 상담해드리고 솔루션을 고민하려면 여러분이 스스로 문제를 해결하기 전에만 가능해요. 제발, 문자 남기면 상담은 해드릴 테니까 꼭 문제가 생기기 전에 부담 갖지 말고 전화주세요!!!

**I will provide a consultation if you do.**

When applying for an e-civil petition on HiKorea, you must perform additional steps due to the recently updated system

When applying for an e-civil petition on HiKorea, you must perform additional steps due to the recently updated system!!!

Today, acting on behalf of a client, I logged into HiKorea to apply for an E-7-4 visa Change.

I logged in using the ID and password I had registered with the Immigration Office (HiKorea). As soon as I entered the client's Residence Registration Number, I suddenly received a notification regarding 'Security Key Uploading.'

After performing 'Security Key Uploading (TouchEn)' and logging back into HiKorea, the 'Security Key Uploading' prompt that I had downloaded and run just moments before kept appearing.

Furthermore, after completing the 'Security Key Uploading' on HiKorea, when I tried to upload the client's documents again, I was told to use 'AnySign' for the upload.

Consequently, the data and text I had uploaded to HiKorea were reset, and despite trying several times, the problem remained unresolved.

Finally, I called the system-related company and managed to resolve the issue.

If you log in to HiKorea and continue to encounter issues with 'Security Key Uploading (TouchEn)' and 'AnySign', please follow the steps below.

1. Check if the padlock icon in the HiKorea address bar is closed.

2. If the padlock icon is closed, click on it.

3. Then, under the text "Permissions for this site," check if "Auto Downloads" is marked as "Allowed" and click "Allowed."

4. Next, click on "Device Apps" that appears immediately and check "Allowed."

* In most cases, this issue occurs because "Device Apps" is NOT set to "Allowed."

* Security is being significantly strengthened as HiKorea's systems are continuously updated. If the situation described above persists, please be sure to check the steps I have explained.

** The attached photo below will make it easier to understand.

[Breaking News] Spouses of holders of Master's (D-2-3) and Ph.D. (D-2-4) visas residing in Korea will now be permitted to engage in employment activities in almost all fields without Korean Language!!! 국내 거주 석사(D-2-3), 박사(D-2-4) 비자 소지자의 배우자는 거의 모든 분야의 취업활동이 가능해집니다!!!!!!!

1. Eligibility (Who can apply?)

1) Spouses of international students on D-2-3 or D-2-4 visas, 2) Spouses of Professors (E-1), Researchers (E-3), Technical Instructors (E-4), and Professionals (E-5) visa holders.

2. Permitted Fields (What work can be done?)

All activities are permitted, excluding entertainment businesses, private tutoring, gambling, and business that undermines public order etc.

3. Application Method (What has changed?)

Previously, prior permission had to be obtained before employment, but through a special provision, Comprehensive Permission(#포괄적허가) is now possible.

In other words: Comprehensive Activity Permission ➔ Employment Contract and Employment ➔ Employment Report (within 15 days)

4. Required Documents and Reporting Method

Online reporting will be available starting April 22, 2026.

1) Initial Comprehensive Permit Notification (In-person at Immigration Office or Online)

2) Notification of Commencement of Employment (Online only)

3) Notification of Termination of Employment (Online only)

5. Important Notes (Please Read!)

1) Mandatory Notification within 15 days: If you do not report the start or end of employment within 15 days, your activity permit may be revoked.

2) Employment at Multiple Places: If you have multiple workplaces, you must report each one individually.

3) Reporting Changes: Major changes, such as contract extensions, are also subject to reporting.

4) Automatic Termination: If you work until the expiration date specified in the employment contract and then resign, a separate termination report is not required.

💡 Summary: Now, spouses of top talents can simply obtain a Comprehensive Permit in advance, freely start employment, and only need to report afterward within 15 days!!! This will be a great help for early settlement and economic activity. 😊

Spring is here in Korea! The cherry blossoms are beautiful but what if you get home, look in your bag, and realize your Residence Card (ARC) is gone? 😱

Don't worry! It feels scary, but the process to fix it is very simple.

1. Why do you need an ARC?

Your ARC is your most important ID in Korea.

2. You need it for almost everything:

Identification, Banking, Phone & Internet, Medical Care etc.

3. Step 1: How to Report your Lost Card

If you lose your card, you must report it within 14 days. You have two friendly options:

Visit the Immigration Office, Online via HiKorea.

4. Step 2: How to Apply for a New One

Once you have reported it lost, you need to apply for a re-issuance (a brand new card).

5. Where to go?

You must visit the Immigration Office that has jurisdiction over your neighborhood.

6. What documents do you need?

To make your visit smooth, please bring these items:

7. Application Form(Form No. 34), Passport, Passport Photo, eason for Re-issuance, Application Fee: 35,000 KRW (+ 4,000 KRW if you want it delivered to your home).

8. Final Tips for a Stress-Free Day

Make a Reservation: Immigration offices are very busy. Always book your visit time on the HiKorea website at least a few days in advance.

*** Urgent Notice! You MUST report your ID card loss within 15 days from the day you lost it. If there are no reservation slots available within those 15 days, I highly recommend visiting the Immigration Office immediately for an urgent report of your ID card loss!

Take a deep breath, follow these steps, and then go back to enjoying those beautiful cherry blossoms^^*! 🌸✨

K-Immigration Guide: Changing Jobs with a Release Letter(이적동의서)

If you work in Korea on an E-1 visa to E-10 visa, moving to a new company requires following specific rules. Here is everything you need to know.

1. Moving Before Your Contract Ends 🏃‍♂️

If your contract is still active but you want to leave, it depends on your visa type:

·For E-1 visa to E-7-1 visa(Professional): * You can move if you get a Release Letter from your current boss.

·Once you start the new job, you must report the change within 15 days.

·For E-7-2 visa, E-7-3, E-7-4 visa to E-10 visa (Non-professional/Skills): * Rules are very strict. A Release Letter is often not enough.

·You usually can only move if the company is at fault (e.g., they closed down, didn't pay your salary, or there was physical/verbal abuse).

2. Moving When Your Contract Ends 📅

E-1 visa to E-7-1 visa: These visas usually give you one extra month (e.g., a 12-month contract gives you a 13-month stay). You can look for a new job or switch to a D-10 (Job Seeking) visa the day after your contract finishes.

·E-7-2 to E-10: Your visa usually ends exactly when your contract ends. You must apply for a job change or a D-10 visa 1 or 2 days before your stay expires.

3. What is a Release Letter? 📄

A Release Letter is a document where your boss "releases" you to work elsewhere. It should include:

· Your Info: Name, Nationality, and ARC (Registration) Number, The Date, The company’s name, the CEO’s name, and the official company seal/stamp.

Important Rules for E-7-4 Visa Workers Before Quitting a Job

Workers with an E-7-4 visa must be careful when they want to quit their job.

You cannot quit just because you “don’t want to work.”

If your contract is not finished, quitting for personal reasons can cause problems.

Also, you cannot quit right away just because there is no work at the company.

Even if the company treats you unfairly, you should not quit immediately without following the proper steps.

It is important to stay calm and keep records of what is happening.

There are only a few cases when you can legally quit your job.

For example, if you have not been paid for more than 3 months.

Or if the company has serious financial problems and sales drop a lot.

If the company closes, you can also quit legally.

If you are treated unfairly, you should take action first.

You can report the problem to the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

Make sure to prepare clear details and evidence.

Keep important documents like messages, pay records, and your contract.

The Immigration Office does not accept only your words.

You must show real proof to change your workplace or visa.

If you say “I want to change jobs” without proof, it will likely be rejected.

Changing to a D-10 visa is also not easy.

You need a good reason and strong evidence.

In conclusion, always check the rules and follow the correct process before quitting your job.

법무부의 새로운 미래 이민정책 발표: 대한민국의 2030 이민정책의 미래_장행닷컴행정사 VISA in KOREA 장행닷컴 JOBS

https://youtu.be/stiiyy80n0c

법무부는 2026년 3월 3일, 인구 위기 대응과 민생 경제 활성화를 위한 『2030 이민정책 미래전략』을 발표하며 국가 이민 패러다임의 대전환을 선언했습니다.

우수 인재 확보를 위해 '톱티어 비자' 대상을 첨단산업 인력에서 과학기술 분야 교수와 연구원까지 확대하고, 국내 전문대 유학생을 지역 제조업 인력으로 양성하는 'K-CORE 비자'를 신설합니다.

인구감소지역 소상공인의 외국인 고용을 허용하는 특례제를 시범 도입하고, 숙련된 계절근로자가 장기 체류할 수 있는 '농·어업 숙련 비자'를 만들어 지역 경제의 활력을 높입니다.

복잡한 취업비자 체계를 숙련도 중심의 3단계로 단순화하며, AI와 빅데이터를 활용한 지능형 심사 시스템을 도입해 비자 행정의 속도와 정확성을 획기적으로 개선합니다.

내국인 일자리 보호를 위해 '외국인력 적정 임금요건'을 설정하는 자문위원회를 운영하고, 유입 규모가 국내 경제에 미치는 영향을 계량적으로 분석하여 체계적으로 관리합니다.

장기 거주 외국인의 사회통합교육 이수를 단계적으로 의무화하고, 급증하는 이주배경 아동·청소년이 우리 사회의 인재로 성장할 수 있도록 한국어 교육과 진로 상담 등 범정부 지원을 강화합니다.
