I want to do something my current visa doesn't allow

체류자격 외 활동허가

People who want to keep doing their main visa activity while also working in another field (a professor interpreting, a researcher lecturing, and so on). Student part-time work is a separate item.

An administrative agent can do this for you.
🔴 Doing other work without permission makes you liable to fines and deportation. Depending on your status there are activities that are not allowed at all, so check whether it is even possible before you apply.

Leave a question

Just leave one way to reach you. We check it, pass it to an administrative agent, and the agent contacts you directly.

We only take your request and pass it to an administrative agent. You pay us nothing.

The more you write, the faster the agent can answer you.

It does not have to be a Korean number. Choose the country in the box before this one, and write only the number here.

We do not check what you write, and we do not report it to anyone. We do not tell employers either.

The year and month you are allowed to stay until. Look for the period of stay on your ARC (foreigner ID card), not the card's issue date. It is fine if you are not sure.

The contract has to be signed face to face, so we ask where you live only to connect you with an agent near you.

More options Optional

What you write and your contact go only to the administrative agent handling this. We do not tell your employer. The agent tells you the cost directly.
