Foreign nationals should be issued a visa to stay in Korea and enter the country. A visa exemption agreement with the Republic of Korea will allow entry without a visa. If you are not a foreigner, you will need a visa suitable for immigration purposes when you stay for a single day. Foreigners can stay within the limits of their status of residence and period of stay, and if they intend to work while staying in Korea, they will have a status of residence that allows them to work. The status of residence that can be employed is as follows.

Employment other than the above qualifications is not possible, and there is no illegal employment, placement or solicitation of foreigners.

Except for doctors, aircraft pilots, professors, research, and painting instruction, if you want to work in a profession designated by the Secretary of Justice, you must issue an E7 visa (specific activity).

After hiring a specialized foreign worker in an area where hiring is required by a domestic company that is an employment company, or an employment contract is concluded.
If you apply for a visa or apply for a change of status of residence under the assumption that an employment contract has been concluded, the Legal Affairs Department will examine the disqualification of an employment company with a foreigner and decide whether to permit it.
If you are applying for a visa, a foreigner is staying in your home country or a third country, you are applying for a permit to change your status of residence, or you are a legal resident who has registered as a foreigner.
However, depending on the type of job, you may need to apply for a visa instead of applying for permission to change your status of residence. In addition, when applying for permission to change the status of residence, it is possible for foreigners who have not registered as aliens to enter the country without visas, but for some occupations, they must apply for a visa.

Examination criteria for issuing work visas.
You might see the news and articles from time to time about issuing a foreign work visa. Employment visa issuance standards, E7 visa issuance conditions are strict, aiming for foreign students from illegal work and illegal stay, and elite visas from overseas prestigious colleges are one after another.
It is important to note that in the process of issuing an E7 visa, there are some basic conditions set by the Legal Department, but no visa is available to meet all the basic requirements.
For occupations and skilled professionals who have a high level of proficiency and are difficult to substitute for the nation, it will be possible to simplify visa issuance and licensing procedures on the level of enhancing national competitiveness, etc. Regarding occupations that are allegedly infringed and applying for foreign employment visas for the purpose of utilizing low wages, the necessity of employment is comprehensively examined based on the specialty of the human resources and whether the employment of the people can be substituted. I have decided whether to issue a visa.
I know that it is difficult for foreigners of various nationalities who seek employment in Korea, such as foreign students, to issue an E7 visa.

Therefore, while respecting the autonomy of recruitment of foreigners, the necessity of hiring foreigners is determined by comprehensively examining usage plans, etc., and deciding whether to allow them.
