I'm a student and I want to work part-time

유학생 시간제취업 허가

People studying on a D-2 (study) or D-4-1 (language training) status who want to take a part-time job

An administrative agent can do this for you.
🔴 You have to get both your school's confirmation and immigration's permission before you start working. If you work without permission, the student gets a fine and their visa cancelled and the employer is punished as well. How many hours a week you may work during term depends on your Korean ability, and entertainment and gambling businesses are banned.

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 doesn't have to be a Korean number. Pick the country, then type the number. The administrative agent will contact you on this number.

It's the first thing the administrative agent asks on the first call. Filling it in saves a call back.

We don't check what you write and we don't report it anywhere. It goes only to the agent who takes your question.

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.

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.
