FAQ 79Operator answerPosted Oct 19, 2026
I changed jobs because of unfair treatment, and I have less than a year left. Can't I get the re-entry exception?

There may be cases where you may receive it.
The requirements for the E-9 re-entry employment special case vary depending on the reason for changing the workplace.
Sometimes it is determined whether the employment contract period with the last employer until the end of employment activities is at least one year, but this does not mean that there must be one year remaining when applying.
If unfair treatment such as assault or sexual harassment is transferred to reasons other than the employee's responsibility and the period is less than one year, it can be recognized through a separate procedure involving consulting the council.
For your own requirements and procedures, please contact 1350 or the employment center.
