Part-time work for international students is not automatically permitted based on the fact that they are enrolled in school. Study in Korea's part-time employment guide explains conditions such as residency status, Korean language proficiency, and school confirmation. In D-4-1·D-4-7 and D-2-8, 6-month elapse conditions are provided, and the allowable time varies depending on conditions such as degree and language level. Don't apply a uniform number of hours per week to all students.
Before deciding on a job
Confirm your exact residency status, academic status, work to be done, and business location information. Read the official guidance to see if there are any industries or occupations that are not permitted, and if in doubt, ask questions to the international student department and the immigration office. We recommend that you do not judge whether or not you are permitted based solely on your employer's explanation.
Application order
We confirm the contract and working conditions, prepare necessary documents such as school verification, and then proceed with the permit application process. Make a distinction between submitting an application and receiving a permit, and don't start work until you have confirmed the required permit. We also check to see if additional procedures are needed when business locations or schedules change.
On-the-job management
Check whether the permitted conditions match the actual work schedule and keep the contract and work records. It is also important to plan your time so that your academic attendance and grades are not affected. Your friend's permitted hours or cases are not your standards, so consult with your current conditions, check for changes in regulations, and adjust your work plan.
