FAQ 31Operator answerPosted Oct 3, 2026
What is the official procedure to go to Korea? I heard there's a way to get there by paying money instead of taking the exam?
Machine-translated from Korean. Check numbers and agency names against the original.
The E-9 (Employment Authorization System) official process consists of five steps.
(1) Pass the Korean Language Proficiency Test (EPS-TOPIK).
(2) Register on the job seeker list through the official sending agency in your country.
(3) Contract with the Korean company is signed according to a standard employment contract.
(4) Obtain a visa and enter the country.
(5) After entering the country, you will receive employment training and start working.
There is no "individual guaranteed employment" in the official procedures.
The phrase 'If you pay, you'll be connected to a Korean job' is not part of the official procedure.
The detailed procedures vary slightly by country, so please check your country's official sending office and the official EPS website (eps.go.kr).
