What We Check
After you register, we review the following items to check your basic eligibility.
Who Can Be Matched
F-2 (Residence) Visa Holders
Same employment rights as Korean citizens — no industry or occupation restrictions, full-time eligible. Common matches: factory assembly, packaging, loading, warehouse, cleaning, kitchen helper, serving, agriculture, hotel cleaning, general labor, and simple office support (phone handling, data entry) on the general side; cook, hairstylist, welder, CNC operator, paint/coating, heavy machinery, translator, CAD designer, accounting, trade, bilingual secretary, and overseas sales on the skilled side.
F-4 (Overseas Korean) Visa Holders — 2026 Consolidated
The notice effective February 12, 2026 greatly relaxed F-4 occupation limits — construction laborer, loading/unloading, and manual packaging are now open, so we can place you on construction sites and in warehouse loading as well. Common matches: manual packaging, loading/unloading, warehouse sorting, factory assembly, restaurant serving, kitchen helper, agriculture, livestock (general side); cook, hairstylist, welder, CNC operator, mechanical repair, translator, accounting, trade, bilingual secretary, overseas sales, CAD designer (skilled side — F-4's traditional strength). Still restricted: cleaner, courier, and food-delivery roles. What matters is the actual task, not the industry — warehouse loading is fine, but going out on deliveries is a violation. H-2 issuance has ended, so existing H-2 holders can be matched through their remaining validity, and we recommend transitioning to F-4.
F-5 (Permanent Residence) Visa Holders
No employment restrictions — every industry, every occupation. Common matches: full range of general roles (factory, packaging, warehouse, cleaning, F&B, agriculture), skilled trades (cook, welder, CNC, beauty, translator, skilled office). Your status places no visa-based limit on the work we can introduce.
F-6 (Marriage Immigration) Visa Holders
No employment restrictions — eligible across all industries, full-time. Common matches: factory assembly, packaging, warehouse, cleaning, kitchen helper, serving, hotel cleaning, agriculture (general); cook, hairstylist, beautician, translator (Korean ↔ your native language is a big advantage), accounting, trade, bilingual secretary, overseas sales (skilled). Your bilingual ability is highly valued by Korean employers serving international customers.
H-2 (Working Visit) Visa Holders — Existing Only
New H-2 issuances ended in February 2026, but existing H-2 holders can continue working through your remaining validity. Common matches in government-permitted industries: factory assembly, packaging, loading/unloading, warehouse, agriculture, livestock, fishing, construction (specific designations), restaurant serving, hotel cleaning. Many H-2 holders are now transitioning to F-4 with fee waivers — we can guide both options and match you under whichever status you hold.
H-1 (Working Holiday) Visa Holders — Within Your Stay Period
Working-holiday visitors from agreement countries can work without a separate permit in everything except adult entertainment and licensed professions — including live-in placements of a month or longer. The catch is time: you can work only until the expiry date on your residence card and the visa cannot be extended, so contracts end before that date. We set the contract length within the time you have left.
Cases We Cannot Match
- ✗Not currently staying in Korea
- ✗Undocumented or overstaying
- ✗New E-9 (EPS / Employment Permit System) recruitment — MyKoreaWork does not handle the EPS process
- ✗Visa types that do not permit employment (tourist, short-term visit, etc.)
- ✗E-7, E-3, F-3 and D-10 — tied to one approved employer and duty, or not permitted to work at all. They cannot legally take the on-site resident work we place, and changing your status is immigration paperwork we do not handle.
- ✗D-2 (student) and D-4 (language trainee) — with a Part-Time Work Permit (S-3), part-time service jobs such as cafés and restaurants are allowed, but the permit is never issued for construction or manufacturing and weekly hour caps apply. The daily and on-site resident work we place is therefore not possible for D-2/D-4 — we tell you this before you register, not after.
What We Review After Registration
- ✓Visa type (residence status)
- ✓Visa and work-permit expiry dates — for on-site resident work lasting a month or longer, we also check that they do not expire in the middle of your contract
- ✓Permitted work scope (industries and positions)
- ✓Whether additional permits or separate checks are needed
- ✓Gap between preferred conditions and actual eligibility
- ✓Contact availability and basic communication ability
This Is Right for You If
- ✓You want to work legally in Korea
- ✓You have a visa but aren't sure what jobs you can do
- ✓You need help finding a job on your own
- ✓You're looking for a job that fits specific conditions (dormitory, shifts, location, etc.) — for "on-site resident" jobs staying a month or longer at one site, we connect you anywhere in Korea
What Happens in These Cases?
- ⚠Not in Korea yet — registration is for people already residing in Korea. Please register after you arrive and receive your residence status.
- ⚠Changing or extending your visa — you can register; we confirm what is possible during profile review.
- ⚠Not sure about your work eligibility — register first and we will check it together during profile review.
Important Notes
- •Legal stay does not always mean work eligibility. Available jobs depend on your visa type.
- •Final eligibility is confirmed after document review and verification.
- •Do not send sensitive documents (passport, ARC, etc.) via chat. We will guide you through a separate process if needed.
