I'm an overseas Korean and I want to work on construction sites (the construction work card)

건설업 취업등록(건설업 취업인정증) 신청

H-2 working visit overseas Koreans who want to work on construction sites

An agent cannot do this one for you. You have to go to the office below yourself.Human Resources Development Service of Korea (한국산업인력공단), the body that runs construction job training (건설업 취업교육기관)
🔴 Working on a construction site without the card is treated as illegal employment. It is valid for 1 year, or until your remaining employment period runs out if that is less than a year. It is handled by the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, so it is not something an administrative scrivener handles.

  • ID photo

This one you have to do yourself

An administrative agent cannot do this for you. Call the number below and you can get an interpreter. The advice is free. You only pay for the phone call.
