Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon said, “Korea cannot function without foreign workers. People may feel anxious about security issues, but the government is strict with illegal stays and is trying to accommodate good foreigners,”
Minister Dong-Hoon Han is the highest-ranking public official in charge of immigration policy and visa systems in Korea. Let’s listen carefully to what he says.
Obtain E-7-4 visa, Korean is basic
Minister Han Dong-hoon attended a meeting held at a factory in Dalseong-gun, Daegu on November 17 and spoke with businessmen and foreign workers.
On this day, Minister Han visited the Ministry of Justice to check whether the ‘step incentive system’ for foreign workers was being properly established in industrial sites. The stepped incentive system allows foreign workers with an E-9 unskilled worker visa, which can be said to be the worst visa, to obtain an E-7-4 visa with Korean language skills and then obtain an F-2 visa through further effort. Again, this means meeting certain requirements and obtaining the best F-5 permanent residency. On this day, Minister Han Dong-hoon said that the most important thing for foreigners to obtain better residency qualifications is Korean language skills.
He said, “The immigration policy we are creating is ultimately created with the intention of giving preference to those who will get along well with our people and live comfortably.” “Korean language skills are more important than technology. There may not be many people who meet the Korean proficiency score yet, but that doesn’t mean we won’t just give good visas to people who don’t have Korean proficiency,”
Obtaining an E-7-4 visa and company recommendation are also required.
According to the changed system, another important factor for current E-9 workers to obtain an E-7-4 visa is the company's recommendation. If you want to be recommended by a company, someone who has worked at one job for a long time will have an advantage over someone who changes jobs frequently.
Minister Han Dong-hoon said, “It will be difficult for people who change jobs frequently to receive recommendations (from companies to obtain an E-7-4 visa),” and added, “Those who change jobs less will inevitably benefit from visa changes.”
On this day, Minister Han Dong-hoon also promoted the stepped incentive system for foreign workers. He said, “This system is helpful to all of us,” and asked, “If you want to live with Korean citizens for a long time, please use this system a lot.”.
Mr. Punnem, a foreign worker who has worked at a factory for 13 years, said at the meeting that day, “I came to Korea on an E-9 visa in 2008 and acquired an E-7-4 visa in 2014. “It was tricky and difficult at that time.” “Now the law has changed. So you can work longer and the company can run well. “Thank you,”
