About MyKoreaWork
MyKoreaWork is a licensed employment agency in Korea. We verify visa eligibility and match foreign workers with legal job opportunities. We are not the employer — employment contracts are made directly between you and the employer.

Visa Types We Support
MyKoreaWork serves foreign workers already residing in Korea. We match you with jobs that are legal under your current visa — F-2 · F-4 · F-5 · F-6 · H-2 and H-1 holders can take the work we place. MyKoreaWork handles every placement directly — on-site resident placements (a month or longer at one site) anywhere in Korea.
Ready to work right away — no administrative agent needed
Residency and overseas-Korean visas that can work freely, working-holiday (H-1) visitors within their stay period. From general labor to skilled trades — cooking, welding, CNC, translation — we connect you the fastest, with no extra paperwork or administrative agent.
F-2 / F-5 / F-6
Long-term resident, permanent resident, and marriage migrant visas. Full-time eligible with no industry restrictions — same working rights as Korean citizens. Eligible for the full range of jobs — from general factory, service, and agriculture work, to skilled trades (cooking, welding, CNC) and skilled office roles (accounting, trade, bilingual secretary, CAD).
F-4 / H-2 (Overseas Koreans)
Korean heritage visas. Full-time eligible across general jobs (packaging, loading, factory, cleaning, hospitality, agriculture, simple office support), skilled trades (cook, hairstylist, welder, CNC operator, mechanical repair, translator), and skilled office roles (accounting, trade, bilingual secretary, overseas sales, CAD, system operations). Following the February 2026 reform, F-4 added 10 simple-labor occupations to the legal list. F-2-R (Regional Talent) prioritized for regional industrial-complex matching. H-2 holders: existing only — transition to F-4 supported.
H-1 (Working Holiday)
Working-holiday visa from an agreement country. Employable without a separate permit in everything except adult entertainment and licensed professions — including live-in placements of a month or longer. The limit is time: you can work only until the expiry date on your residence card and the visa cannot be extended, so we set the contract length within the time you have left.
Visas we cannot place
E-7 (specialty occupation) and E-3 (research) are tied to the employer and duties approved by immigration, so moving between work sites is not allowed. D-10 (job-seeker) and F-3 (dependent) do not permit employment at all. These statuses cannot take the on-site resident work we place, and changing a residence status is immigration paperwork that only a licensed administrative agent or lawyer may handle — we neither do it nor refer it out. We say so up front rather than let you register and wait.
Note: We do not sponsor E-9 (Employment Permit System) visas or recruit from overseas. All candidates must already hold a valid Korean visa.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is MyKoreaWork free to use?
Yes — registering and using MyKoreaWork is free, and we never charge job seekers a service fee. Your wage is paid to you directly by the employer, and deducting a placement fee from your wage is illegal in Korea. Any placement fee is charged separately and only within the cap set by the Employment Security Act.
Can I apply from outside Korea?
No. MyKoreaWork only serves foreign workers already residing in Korea with a valid visa. We do not handle overseas recruitment or E-9 visa sponsorship.
What documents do I need to register?
You will need your Alien Registration Card (ARC), passport, and visa information. Additional documents may be requested depending on the job type.
How long does matching take?
Matching times vary by visa type, region, and job category. Not every registration is matched right away — once your profile is registered, we contact you as soon as an opening fits your visa and conditions.
