I want to change companies (or I already have)

근무처 변경·추가 허가 또는 신고

People on work statuses such as E-1 to E-7. Depending on your job type, you either need permission before you move or only have to report it after you have moved.

An administrative agent can do this for you.
🔴 The first thing to find out is whether your job type needs permission in advance or only a report afterwards. If it needs permission and you start working first, that is illegal employment; if it only needs a report, you have to report within 15 days of your first day at work. Reporting after the fact is free.

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.
