MyKoreaWork — 100% Online Job Matching with a Licensed Songdo HQ in Korea

100% Online Job Matching — From Anywhere in Korea

Hello from MyKoreaWork.

You do not have to live in Songdo, Incheon, or even Seoul to find a job through MyKoreaWork. We match foreign residents already living in Korea with safe, legal jobs nationwide — through KakaoTalk, email, video interviews, and electronic signatures. Every step happens online, on your phone or laptop, in your own time.

And here is the most important thing for any job seeker to know: registering with MyKoreaWork costs you nothing. Nothing to sign up, nothing for a consultation, and the hiring company pays our matching fee. There is one part we would rather say plainly than let you find out later: day-labour and short-term work is often arranged through a verified local partner rather than by us directly, and Korean law permits a small introduction fee within a set ceiling for that kind of placement. On-site residential placements we handle ourselves, anywhere in the country. Any such fee has to be told to you before you accept, and you should get a receipt. What is never acceptable is being asked for cash up front to "secure" a job, with no explanation of what the money is for.

Our headquarters is at Room B-2421, Songdo Seawork In Terrace Halla, 29-8 Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon. We publish that address for one reason — if there is ever a dispute or an administrative question, the law and the regulator both know exactly where to find us. Operations are remote, but accountability is real.


7-Step Online Process — You Never Need to Visit an Office

Step How it works Your time
1. First chatWebsite chat (auto-translated) or KakaoTalk10–15 min
2. Visa & ID checkSend a photo of your ARC; we cross-check Hi Korea + your visa category5 min
3. Job options sharedPDF or chat — verified workplaces onlyRead at your own pace
4. InterviewVideo or phone with the employer (interpreter on call if needed)30–40 min
5. E-contract signedElectronic signature on your phone3–5 min
6. Start workWorkplace orientation on day 1First-day onboarding
7. 90-day check-insWeek 1, month 1, month 3 — KakaoTalk follow-up5 min each

From first chat to first paycheck, you never have to visit our office. Under the Framework Act on Electronic Documents and Transactions, an electronic signature carries the same legal weight as a handwritten one — and the IP, timestamp, and signing log are all preserved, so the evidentiary record is actually stronger than a paper contract.

For a fuller walkthrough of how the platform works, see How to Use MyKoreaWork — Find Verified Jobs in Korea Fast.


Matched by a Korea-Certified Vocational Counselor

Our director is a Korea-Certified Vocational Counselor (국가공인 직업상담사) licensed by the Korean government. What that means for you is simple: every match is reviewed against your visa category, your real work history, and the actual conditions of the workplace — before the job is ever offered to you.

The fears most foreign workers tell us about are the same ones again and again — being placed in a job that does not match what was promised, walking into a workplace that turns out to have no real role for you, or being quietly abandoned a week after you start. Those failures usually trace back to a careless first match. A licensed counselor reviewing your file means we will tell you honestly if a role does not fit, instead of pushing you in just to fill a slot. We check in after you start — around week one, month one, and month three — because a bad match usually shows itself early, and we would rather hear about it from you than not at all.


Licensed and Registered — Verify Us Yourself

Not everyone offering to find you a job in Korea is registered to do it, and registration is the thing that decides whether you have any protection when something goes wrong. That is not a claim you should take on trust from us either — so here are the numbers, and you can check them yourself.

MyKoreaWork Business Registration Certificate — registration number 852-97-02035, issued by Korea National Tax Service

Business Registration Certificate (Korea National Tax Service)

MyKoreaWork Paid Employment Agency License — registration number 2026-3520293-14-5-00008, issued by Yeonsu-gu Office, Incheon

Paid Employment Agency License (Yeonsu-gu Office, Incheon)

  • Business Registration Number: 852-97-02035 (Korea National Tax Service)
  • Paid Employment Agency Registration: No. 2026-3520293-14-5-00008 (Yeonsu-gu Office, Incheon)
  • Guarantee insurance: fully paid and active
  • Legal basis: Employment Security Act (직업안정법), Articles 18 and 19

Why our address is public (and why that protects you)

We publish our office address on every page for one reason: if a dispute ever arises — a contract issue, a wage problem, a question from a regulator — there is a real, registered place that has to answer for it. An anonymous broker with no fixed address can disappear overnight; a licensed agency with a public address cannot. The office is not a place we expect you to come to. It is a public commitment that we will be here tomorrow, and the day after that.


Visas We Match — Ready-to-Work and Professional

We match foreigners already in Korea with a valid visa and Alien Registration Card (ARC). Below is the visa eligibility we work with. For a fuller visa-by-visa breakdown of what jobs each visa allows, see Korea Visa Types Explained — E-9, H-2, F-4, F-2 & What Jobs You Can Do.

Who we actually place — F-2, F-4, F-5, F-6, existing H-2, and G-1-6

  • F-2 (Residence) — full work freedom, no restriction
  • F-5 (Permanent residence) — full work freedom, no restriction
  • F-6 (Marriage migrant) — full work freedom, no restriction
  • F-4 (Overseas Korean) — as of the notice that took effect on 12 February 2026, 10 simple-labor categories opened up — including general construction labor, loading and unloading, mining labor, petrol station attendant and store stocking. Note the other direction too: cleaning work is still restricted for F-4, along with courier, food delivery, waste collection and apartment security. Details: F-4 Visa Holders: 10 New Simple Labor Jobs You Can Now Legally Do
  • H-2 (Working visit) — legacy holders only: new H-2 issuance stopped on 12 February 2026, when the overseas-Korean status was consolidated into F-4. Existing holders can still be hired for the remainder of their stay. We help you stay in legal job categories and consider F-4 conversion when eligible
  • D-2 (Student) / D-4 (Language training) — part-time only, and only with a part-time work permit approved by your school and immigration. The two visas are not the same, so do not copy the limit from one to the other: D-2 degree students may work up to 30 hours a week (35 for master's and doctoral students), with weekends, public holidays and vacation periods uncapped where the Korean-language requirement is met, while D-4 language trainees are capped at 20 hours a week including weekends — there is no uncapped vacation period for D-4. The permit covers service work such as restaurants, cafes and convenience stores; factory, construction and logistics work is not approved on a student permit. See D-2 Student Visa Part-Time Work — How to Get the Permit & Find Legal Jobs

Common job categories for the F visas and H-2 above: factory assembly, packaging, logistics warehouse, food processing, hospitality and kitchen prep — and for skill-holders, CNC, welding, painting, machinery operation, and bilingual office roles. Many of the workplaces we hire for are in the Namdong Industrial Complex and across the wider Incheon area, but we place candidates nationwide. See F-2/F-4/F-5/F-6 Jobs in Namdong Industrial Complex for one regional snapshot.

Statuses we do not place — and we would rather say so on this page

E-7, E-3, D-10, F-3, D-2 and D-4. Not because those routes do not matter, but because they are not what we do. The work we place is day-labour and short-term and on-site residential — one site, a month or longer, often with accommodation — and those statuses are not permitted to take that work.

Two things follow from that, and both are worth stating plainly:

  • We do not handle status changes. Converting F-3 or D-10 to E-7 is an immigration filing, and it belongs to a licensed administrative scrivener (행정사) or a lawyer. We are a job-matching office, not an immigration one
  • We do not place professional or career-track roles. If you are an engineer, a researcher or a designer, direct applications and your own network will serve you better than we would

If you hold one of these and write to us anyway, you will get a straight answer rather than a profile sitting in a queue.

A note on E-9

The E-9 (Non-professional Employment) program is operated through the Korean government's Employment Permit System (EPS). Initial entry, country quotas, and most workplace-change rules are handled by EPS and HRD Korea — not by private agencies, including ours. If you are an E-9 worker considering a workplace change, the official route is your local Job Center — it registers the change and refers employers to you, so start there. To be exact about our scope: we do not place E-9 workers at all — not initial entry, and not workplace changes either. Both run through the Employment Permit System. You are welcome to ask us anyway and we will point you to the right office rather than leave you guessing.


Multilingual Support — Auto-Translated Chat

We want to be honest with you. Our director's spoken English, Chinese, and Vietnamese are limited. So we handle multilingual consultations like this:

  • Auto-translated chat on the website — write to us in your own language; the message is translated to Korean for us and our reply is translated back to your language
  • KakaoTalk + translation — message-by-message, works well for ongoing conversations
  • Email (seko96377@gmail.com) — we reply in English or Korean, and we prefer email for complex visa or contract questions because it lets us answer accurately
  • Multilingual content — we publish guidance in 20 languages on visa categories, payslips, and the matching process

Auto-translation is not perfect. For complex visa or contract questions we prefer to take a little extra time over email so the answer is precise. For urgent matters, we can schedule a phone call with an interpreter on the line.


If You Want to Visit the Songdo HQ — You Are Welcome

Online is the default, but if you would feel better meeting once in person — to talk through your options or to sign a contract face-to-face — you are welcome to come. The Songdo International Business District is well connected, and the office is a short walk from the subway.

MyKoreaWork Songdo Office entrance — Room B-2421 with My Korea Work signage

↑ Our office door. Look for the "My Korea Work" sign on Room B-2421.

Address

  • Room B-2421, Songdo Seawork In Terrace Halla, 29-8 Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon
  • (Korean: 인천광역시 연수구 송도동 29-8 송도씨워크인테라스한라 B동 2421호)

By car (3 hours free parking)

  • Underground parking on basement levels B1 and B2
  • Give us your license plate number when you arrive — we will register it for 3 hours free
  • If you expect a longer consultation, let us know in advance and we will arrange the extension

By public transit

  • Incheon Subway Line 1 → International Business District Station, Exit 5
  • Walk about 5–7 minutes toward Songdo Central Park
  • Enter Building B of Songdo Seawork In Terrace Halla → take the elevator to Room 2421

Please message us before you come

We are a small team, and the director is often out at client workplaces or on call. To make sure your visit is not a wasted trip, please message us on KakaoTalk or call ahead — we will be there waiting at the time you choose. The worst feeling for us is having someone arrive to an empty office, so a quick heads-up means a lot.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Do I have to live in Incheon to use MyKoreaWork?

No. Our HQ is in Songdo, but we match candidates nationwide — Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong, Yeongnam, Honam. Because the process is online, distance has almost no effect on matching speed.

Q2. Is it really free for job seekers?

Registration and the consultation cost you nothing, and the hiring company pays our matching fee. The honest footnote is that day-labour and short-term work routed through a verified local partner can carry a small introduction fee within the ceiling Korean law sets — always disclosed to you before you accept, with a receipt. Your wages themselves never pass through us: the employer pays you directly. To understand exactly what does and does not get deducted from your paycheck, see How to Read Your Korean Payslip.

Q3. My English / Vietnamese / Chinese is better than my Korean — can I still apply?

Yes. Use the auto-translated chat on the website or KakaoTalk and write in your own language. We will reply through translation. For complex visa or contract questions, email is more accurate than chat.

Q4. My visa is D-10 (job-seeker) or graduating D-2 — am I eligible?

Yes. You fall on the Professional pipeline as a Pre-E7 candidate. The match is contingent on changing to E-7 status after the offer is signed — we will guide you through that step with the hiring company.

Q5. Is an electronic contract really legally valid in Korea?

Yes. Under the Framework Act on Electronic Documents and Transactions, an electronic signature carries the same legal effect as a handwritten one. The signing log, timestamp, and IP are all preserved, so the evidentiary record is in fact stronger than paper.

Q6. Do I need to visit the Songdo office to start?

No. The entire process — first chat, visa check, interview, contract, follow-up — runs online. The office is open if you would like to come, but it is purely optional.


Ready to Start?

Working in Korea should not mean worrying about being cheated. Our job is to remove that worry — visa-checked, contract-checked, paycheck-checked — so you can focus on building a stable life here.

Open the chat in your own language, send us a quick KakaoTalk, or email seko96377@gmail.com. The first step is free, the language is yours, and the timing is yours.
