Overview
The E-7 visa allows foreign professionals to work in designated occupations where specialized skills or expertise are required.
Key Requirements
- Employment contract with a Korean entity
- Position falling within approved occupation categories
- Relevant professional qualifications and experience
Practical Notes
While not an investment visa, the E-7 may be used when a foreign representative also performs a defined professional role. Employment structure and payroll setup must be carefully managed.
How We Support
We review eligibility against your specific situation, prepare the documentation the application requires, and file the application ourselves — this office holds the administrative agent licence, so the immigration filing is handled in-house rather than referred out. Where your visa depends on how the company is set up — a D-8, for example, requires a Foreign-Invested Company already registered — we flag that separately; see Foreign Investment for company structure questions.
