FAQ 29Operator answerPosted Sep 30, 2026
What is good about switching to E-7-4? What should I prepare?
Machine-translated from Korean. Check numbers and agency names against the original.
E-7-4 can call family if the requirements are met.
When relocating, there are permit and notification procedures, so check before moving.
It's a points-based system, calculated based on Korean language, length of stay, income, years of service, and certifications, and there is a separate minimum Korean score requirement.
However, until December 31, 2026, if other requirements are met, the Korean language requirement can be postponed until the first extension.
Start your TOPIK or social integration program now.
Points, quotas, and required stay periods change every year, so check HiKorea (hikorea.go.kr) that year's announcement on 1345.
