Your next step to working in Korea

Choose one answer for each question. Review the first three priorities, then tick off your preparation items. A tick only records your progress; it does not confirm eligibility. Copy or print your list for your own reference. You can edit your answers at any time.

VisaMatch is a free, independent information tool for international students and graduates of universities in Korea who are preparing to work in Korea. It is not an official government service and does not imply government approval or affiliation.

The checklists and explanations organize general preparation steps based on answers to a limited set of questions. They do not replace individual legal advice, professional administrative services, or an official decision based on a review of your full immigration history, education, employment conditions, and other relevant circumstances.

VisaMatch does not determine eligibility for a visa, a change or extension of stay, or permission to work. It does not guarantee any visa approval or job outcome. Completing checklist items does not mean that you meet legal requirements or have obtained permission.

Laws, policies, procedures, and official guidance may change. The summaries on this service may not reflect every individual circumstance or the latest changes. A source review date indicates when the relevant content was checked; it does not guarantee that the same requirements still apply.

Before submitting an application, changing or extending your stay, or starting work, check current official information from Hi Korea, the Korea Immigration Service, and the Korea Visa Portal. For questions about your circumstances, contact the relevant immigration office, the Immigration Contact Center at 1345, or an appropriately qualified professional.

English and Korean explanations are summaries provided for convenience. If you find differences in wording, translation, or official information, do not rely on this service alone to reach a conclusion. Confirm the applicable requirements with official sources and the relevant authority.

External websites and sharing services are not operated by VisaMatch. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them.

This notice explains the scope and limitations of the service. It does not exclude or limit any operator liability or user rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Contact-service scope reviewed: 2026-10-17; individual visa requirements not assessed.

This tool helps international students and graduates organize preparation for work in Korea. It does not decide visa eligibility, permission to work, or a required visa route.
