Company Eligibility and 20% Domestic Ratio:Critical Hurdles for E-7-1 VISA Sponsorship_VISA in KOREA
httpshttps://youtu.be/wzPBk3PY1sA
Getting an E-7-1 visa in Korea is not just about your skills; your company must also meet specific rules.
One of the most important rules is the 20% domestic ratio.
Basically, the Korean government wants to make sure companies hire enough local citizens before they hire foreign professionals.
For every foreign employee a company wants to sponsor, they usually need to have at least five Korean employees. This means the number of foreign staff cannot exceed 20% of the total full-time Korean workforce.
If a small company has only two or three Korean workers, they might not be allowed to hire you on an E-7 visa at all.
Also, the company must be healthy and pay its taxes on time to prove they can support you.
If the company is too small or has financial problems, the immigration office may reject the application.
Understanding these hurdles is very important before you start your job search.
Always ask the company if they meet the 20% ratio and if they have experience with visa sponsorship.
Planning ahead will save you a lot of time and keep your career in Korea on the right track.

Mr. JANG, I hold an E-7-4 visa. If I wish to change my workplace, does the Immigration Office grant a two-week grace period?"
"Mr. JANG, I hold an E-7-4 visa. If I wish to change my workplace, does the Immigration Office grant a two-week grace period?" 행정사님, 제가 E-7-4 비자를 가지고 있는데 제가 근무처를 변경하려면 출입국사무소에서 2주 시간을 주나요?
Due to the current economic downturn in South Korea, there have been many inquiries regarding workplace changes for foreign workers holding E-7-4 visa. 요즘 대한민국 경기가 좋지 않아서 E-7-4 비자 가지고 계신 외국인 근로자의 근무처 변경에 대한 문의가 많이 있습니다.
There are two main situations in which a foreign worker with an E-7-4 visa may change their workplace. E-7-4 비자를 가지고 있는 외국인 근로자가 근무처 변경을 하는 경우는 크게 2가지가 있습니다.
1. When the employment contract for the foreign worker holding the E-7-4 visa is still valid. E-7-4 비자를 가지고 있는 외국인 근로자의 근로계약서 기간이 남아 있는 경우
- If the employment contract for a foreign worker with an E-7-4 visa is still valid, you may apply for a workplace change by preparing the relevant documents in the following cases: 1) the company has closed or suspended operations; 2) the company's revenue has decreased significantly; 3) wages have not been paid for more than three months; or 4) unreasonable incidents such as verbal abuse or physical assault have occurred. 만약 E-7-4 비자 외국인 근로자의 근로계약서 기간이 남아 있는 상황에서 근무처를 변경하기 위해서는 1) 회사 폐업이나 휴업, 2) 회사의 매출액이 많이 감소한 경우, 3) 월급이 3개월 이상 지급되지 않았거나 4) 폭언, 폭행 등 불합리한 일이 발생했을 때 관련 서류를 준비해서 근무처 변경을 신청할 수 있습니다.
2. Cases where the employment contract period of a foreign worker holding an E-7-4 visa is nearing its end. E-7-4 비자를 가지고 있는 외국인 근로자의 근로계약 기간이 거의 끝나가는 경우
1) Cases where there is a reason to change the workplace, such as the company closing down or suspending operations 회사가 폐업, 휴업 등 근무처 변경 이유가 있는 경우
- In this case, the foreign worker with an E-7-4 visa may change their workplace or switch to a D-10 visa, which allows for job seeking. 이 경우에는 E-7-4 비자 외국인 근로자가 근무처 변경 또는 구직할 수 있는 D-10 비자로 변경할 수 있습니다.
- Generally, the immigration office grants a 14-day period. If the worker finds a new workplace within that time and can change their workplace under the E-7-4 visa, the change is processed as a 'change of workplace'; otherwise, the change is processed as a D-10 visa for job seeking. 일반적으로 출입국사무소에서는 14일의 시간을 주고 근무처를 그 기간에 찾아서 E-7-4 비자로 근무처 변경을 할 수 있으면 '근무처 변경'으로, 그렇지 않으면 구직비자인 D-10 비자로 변경할 수 있도록 하고 있습니다.
2) Cases where the employment contract period is nearing its end 근로계약 기간이 끝나가는 경우
- Unless the company has closed down or suspended operations and there are special circumstances allowing for a change of workplace, a foreign worker with an E-7-4 visa who has already secured a company may apply for a change of workplace typically 2 to 3 days before their visa expires. However, please note that there may be slight variations depending on the immigration office. 회사가 폐업, 휴업 등의 상황이 발생하지 않고 근무처를 변경할 수 있는 특별한 사정이 없는 한, 회사를 미리 구한 E-7-4 비자 외국인 근로자는 근무처 변경 신청을 통상 비자 만료 2일~3일 전에 신청할 수 있습니다. 다만, 이 경우도 출입국사무소마다 약간의 차이가 있을 수 있으니 참고 바랍니다.
- Foreign workers on E-7-4 visas who have not found a company will change to a D-10 job-seeking visa. Although there are slight differences depending on the immigration office, it is said that you can change to a D-10 visa starting from one day before your current visa expires. 회사를 구하지 못한 E-7-4 비자 외국인 근로자는 구직비자인 D-10 비자로 변경하게 됩니다. 출입국사무소마다 약간의 차이는 있지만 비자만료일~1일 전부터 D-10 비자로 변경할 수 있다고 합니다.
* Changing companies requires great courage and determination, as well as the significant difficulties involved in finding a new job. 회사를 변경하는 것은 큰 용기와 결단, 그리고 새로운 회사를 구하는 많은 어려움이 따릅니다.
You may not be able to change your workplace or switch to a D-10 visa simply because there is no work at your current company or because your current job does not suit you, so it is recommended that you verify this in advance. 단순하게 회사에 일이 없다는 이유로, 또는 지금 하고 있는 일이 자신과 맞지 않다는 이유만으로는 근무처 변경 또는 D-10 비자로 변경이 안 될 수 있으니 이 부분을 미리 확인했으면 좋겠습니다.

BIG NEWS for E-7-4 Visa Holders! Changing Jobs Just Got EASIER! Here is some very hot and important information change
BIG NEWS for E-7-4 Visa Holders! Changing Jobs Just Got EASIER! Here is some very hot and important information regarding changes of workplace for E-7-4 visa workers!!!!
Previously, I mentioned that for an E-7-4 visa worker to change workplaces, the new company must have either an E-9 visa or an H-2 visa holder.
However, what happens if the new company does not have any E-9 visa holders, but only workers who have switched from an E-9 visa to an E-7-4 visa?
While the 1345 only discussed the general principles, it is said that detailed guidelines have recently changed.
In other words, even if the new company does not have any E-9 visa holders, if a worker who previously held an E-9 visa is currently working at the company under an E-7-4 visa, it is considered as if an E-9 visa holder is employed at the new company.
Therefore, if there is one E-7-4 visa holder at that company, it is considered as if there is an E-9 visa holder, and the E-7-4 visa quota is determined based on the number of Korean nationals. Now, even if an E-7-4 visa worker changes workplaces, they can change workplaces even if there are no E-9 visa workers at the new company, provided that there are E-7-4 visa workers at the new company and there is an E-7-4 visa quota remaining.

Mastering the E-7-1 Visa: Job Categories & Pathways for D-2 visa/D-10 visa Holders
Mastering the E-7-1 Visa: Job Categories & Pathways for D-2 visa/D-10 visa Holders
Immigration expert Mr. JANG introduces a specialized English lecture series designed to help D-2 and D-10 holders transition to the E-7-1 professional visa.
This "Specialist" category covers 67 professional job codes, and notably, graduates from Korean universities benefit from a waiver regarding the strict match between their major and their job.
The transition process involves moving to a D-10 status first, followed by a thorough evaluation where the employer must justify the necessity of hiring a foreign professional.
Once the application is submitted, the review typically takes 2 to 3 weeks, and candidates can legally begin working immediately upon approval via the Hi-Korea website.
For those navigating this complex process, professional consultation is available to ensure a successful career pathway in South Korea.

E-7-4 비자에서 2년 일하고 나서 근무처 변경을 하는 경우 반드시 새로운 회사에 E-9 비자 근로자가 1명 이상 있는지 확인을 해야 합니다
E-7-4 비자에서 2년 일하고 나서 근무처 변경을 하는 경우 반드시 새로운 회사에 E-9 비자 근로자가 1명 이상 있는지 확인을 해야 합니다. If you change jobs after working for two years on an E-7-4 visa, you must ensure that the new company has at least one E-9 visa worker.
외국인 근로자가 E-9 비자로 근무하다 4년 또는 3년 이후에 현재 일하고 있는 회사에서 E-7-4 비자로 변경하는 경우가 많습니다. Many foreign workers change jobs to an E-7-4 visa after three or four years on an E-9 visa.
그런데 외국인 근로자가 E-7-4 비자를 받고 현재 회사에서 일하다 2년 계약기간이 만료되어 다른 회사로 근무처 변경을 하려고 할 때 문제가 생기곤 합니다. However, problems often arise when foreign workers with an E-7-4 visa try to change jobs to another company after their two-year contract expires.
왜냐하면 외국인 근로자가 E-7-4 비자를 받았던 회사는 본인이 E-9 비자를 가지고 있었기 때문에 비자가 변경된 것인데요. The foreign worker changed his E-7-4 visa at that company because he held an E-9 visa.
외국인 근로자가 다른 회사로 근무처를 변경하는 경우 새로운 회사에 E-9 비자 외국인 근로자가 없어도 '내가 전에 E-9 비자였잖아!'라고 생각하면서 착각을 하곤 합니다. When foreign workers change jobs to another company, they often mistakenly believe, "I had an E-9 visa before!" even if the new company doesn't have an E-9 visa worker.
E-7-4 비자를 가진 외국인 근로자가 다른 회사로 근무처를 변경하는 경우, 꼭 그 회사에 E-9 비자 외국인 근로자가 1명 이상 있는 지 확인하시기 바랍니다. If a foreign worker with an E-7-4 visa changes jobs to another company, be sure to check to see if the new company has at least one E-9 visa worker.
