I heard it's an H-2, but it will merge into F-4. Can you keep doing what you're doing now?

From February 12, 2026, the Korean visa status has been consolidated into a single F-4 visa, and new H-2 visa issuances have been suspended. Those with an H-2 visa can stay until the maximum period of stay and can switch to an F-4. F-4 workers cannot work in jobs designated as simple labor (such as delivery, cleaning, security, etc., listed by the Ministry of Justice). Judgment is based on the actual work you do, not the job title. If you have a residence in a population decline area (city, county, or district subject to the regional specialization visa), you are not subject to this restriction within that metropolitan city or province. Before changing your eligibility, first ask 1355 about the National Pension refund lump-sum payment. Explain and confirm in 1345 whether you can continue your work.
