Part time work permission

For international students in Korea, part-time work can be a great way to earn money and gain experience, but D-2 visa holders must obtain part-time work permission before starting any off-campus job. This involves getting approval from both your school and immigration. Jobs like private tutoring, construction, delivery, and adult entertainment are prohibited, while some (e.g., working with minors or in manufacturing) require extra documentation. On-campus jobs and one-time gigs (like being an extra) don't need a permit, but the latter is limited to one instance. Required Documents: Employer documents (e.g., business registration, contract) School documents (e.g., enrollment certificate, transcript, language proficiency) How to Apply: Online: Submit an e-application via HiKorea (processing takes 10 days to 2 months). In-person: Book an appointment at immigration for same-day processing. After approval, a permit sticker will be issued in your passport, allowing you to legally work. * This post has been summarized from: https://kcampus.kr/real-life-reviews/part-time-work-in-korea--what-no-one-tells-you-4447
