What is the E-7-M visa? E-7-M stands for Korea College-to-Regional Employment and is an employment status granted to international students who have acquired Korean language skills and specialized manufacturing-related technical expertise at a domestic junior college. It is a newly created sub-code under the existing E-7 (Specific Activities) system and is also known by the nickname 'K-CORE Visa'. 'M' signifies an intermediate skill level between skilled professionals (E-7-1) and non-skilled professionals (E-9). It embodies a policy direction to supply local industries with personnel systematically trained at domestic educational institutions, instead of the existing method of directly importing low-skilled labor from overseas. 💡 Please be sure to check before reading this. This article is an administrative guide for reference purposes, compiled based on publicly available materials such as Ministry of Justice Announcement No. 2025-379, government policy briefings, and official press releases. As of March 2026, the E-7-M visa is in the pilot project phase, and the establishment of new status of residence codes and the notification of detailed screening criteria may not yet have been finalized or implemented. Please be sure to check the official guidance from the Ministry of Justice and the competent immigration office for your final decision. Why Was This System Established? — Background and Purpose The Ministry of Justice officially announced plans to establish the E-7-M visa on March 3, 2026, while releasing the '2030 Future Strategy for Immigration Policy.' The key background can be summarized in three points. First, there is the chronic labor shortage in regional small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. Existing systems, such as the non-professional employment (E-9) visa, were insufficient to secure mid-level personnel with technical skills. Second, domestic employment pathways for international students at junior colleges were limited. Since the existing E-7-1 (professional) visa requires a bachelor's degree or higher as a prerequisite, it was difficult for associate degree graduates to utilize it. Third, the policy objectives of economic revitalization in regions experiencing population decline and encouraging the settlement of foreign nationals were combined. Structure of the system: Admission → Education → Employment → Settlement The E-7-M program is characterized not merely by visa issuance, but by the design of a consistent pathway from the admission stage to employment and settlement after graduation. 1. Admission Stage — D-2 (Student) Visa Issuance International students admitted to 'promotion-type professional technical departments' designated by the Ministry of Justice are exempt from the financial ability requirement (20 million won in the capital area / 16 million won in the provinces) if they hold TOPIK Level 3 or higher. 2. While Enrolled — Expansion of Part-time Employment The permitted hours for part-time employment while studying will be expanded from 30 hours per week to 35 hours. 3. After Graduation — Issuance of E-7-M (K-CORE) Visa You can obtain an E-7-M visa if you meet the Korean language requirements after graduation (completion of Social Integration Program Level 4 or TOPIK Level 5 or higher) and sign an employment contract with a company related to your major for an annual salary of 26 million won or more. 4. Long-term Stay — Conversion to F-2 (Residence) Status If you have been continuously employed for more than 5 years with an E-7-M visa, or have worked for more than 3 years at the same company in a population-declining area, you will be eligible to apply for a residence (F-2) visa. Eligibility Requirements (International Students) Korean Language Requirements for Admission : Choose one from TOPIK Level 3 or higher / Completion of Social Integration Program Level 3 or higher / Sejong Institute Intermediate Korean Level 1 or higher Korean Language at Graduation: Completion of Social Integration Program Level 4 or TOPIK Level 5 or higher Education: Graduated from a Ministry of Justice-designated 'Development-oriented Specialized Technical Department' (Associate Degree) Employment Contract: Company related to major, starting salary of 26 million KRW or more University Designation Requirements University Type: Junior College under the Higher Education Act Accreditation: Universities accredited or higher in the 2024 Education Internationalization Competency Certification System Eligible Majors: Limited to manufacturing-related majors (automotive manufacturing, precision machinery, electrical engineering, etc.) Excluded fields: Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts and Physical Education, Services (Hotels, Healthcare), Shipbuilding (Separate wide-area visa program) Department Recruitment Quota: Within 100% of the enrollment quota, maximum 50 people Pilot Project Status: 16 Junior Colleges Selected The Ministry of Justice conducted department recruitment from December 8, 2025, to January 9, 2026, and designated one department each at 16 junior colleges nationwide as a pilot program in February 2026. school specialty Gyeonggi Institute of Science and Technology Future Electric Vehicle Department Daerim University Department of Future Automotive Engineering Bucheon University Textile and Fashion Business Department Seojeong University Global Textile & Fashion Business Department Osan University Electrical Engineering Department Yongin College of Arts and Sciences Department of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering Yeongjin College SmartCAD/CAM and Gumi University Department of Special Construction Machinery Engineering Gyeongnam Information University Mechanical Engineering Dong-eui University of Science and Technology Department of Mechanical Engineering Busan Institute of Science and Technology Automotive Department Geoje University Department of Mechanical Engineering Ulsan College of Science Department of Mechanical Engineering Gunjangdae Smart Agro-food Division Jeonju Vision University Department of Future Mobility Mokpo Science University Department of New and Renewable Energy and Electrical Engineering What is the difference from the existing E-7 visa? item E-7-1 Establishment of E-7-M(K-CORE) Education Bachelor's degree or higher Associate's degree Major scope 67 specialized occupations Limited to manufacturing-related majors Korean language requirements No separate requirements TOPIK Level 5 or KIIP Level 4 Wage requirements Over 80% of GNI (31.12 million per year based on 2026) Starting salary of 26 million won or more per year Regional Linkage nationwide Center of the region where the designated university is located F-2 switching route Separate pathways such as the F-2-7 point system Eligible to apply after 5 years of employment or 3 years of continuous service in a population decline area. The E-7-M is exclusively for junior college graduates, and Korean language proficiency and connection to local industries serve as key evaluation factors instead of the bachelor's degree and work experience requirements of the existing E-7-1. Summary of benefits for international students Exemption from Financial Ability Requirement: If you have TOPIK Level 3 or higher, proof of financial resources (20 million KRW for the Seoul Metropolitan Area / 16 million KRW for other regions) is waived for D-2 visa issuance. Expansion of part-time employment: Up to 35 hours per week of part-time work allowed while enrolled (previously 30 hours) Allowed changes to academic records: Transfer to other domestic universities and transfer to a different major within the same university are permitted. E-7-M Visa after Graduation: Separate work visa issued upon employment related to major Residence (F-2) Conversion Pathway: Long-term stay possible through 5 years of employment or 3 years of continuous employment in areas with declining populations. 🚨 Please note that this is a pilot project. As of March 2026, the E-7-M visa is in the 'Pilot Project for Cultivating Vocational Technical Departments' phase. The pilot period runs until the end of 2027, and decisions regarding extension, regularization, reduction, or suspension will be made based on performance evaluations (employment rate, illegal stay rate, nationality diversity, etc.). If the pilot project ends or changes, the issuance criteria for the E-7-M visa may also change. Frequently Missed Risks 1. Major-Employment Mismatch: If the major of a training-type vocational technical department does not match the industry of the employing company, the issuance of an E-7-M visa may be denied. The criteria for reviewing the scope of 'major-related companies' may vary depending on the judgment of the competent immigration office. 2. Wage shortfall: The standard of an annual starting salary of 26 million won or more is based on the pilot project period and is subject to change in the future. 3. Regional Restrictions: Since the purpose of this program is to foster a workforce for local industries, there may be restrictions on employment in specific regions, such as the Seoul metropolitan area. Specific criteria for regional restrictions need to be verified. 4. Status of stay upon termination of pilot project: Measures to maintain the status of stay for E-7-M visa holders should the pilot project be discontinued have not yet been clearly disclosed. To whom is this system meaningful? The E-7-M (K-CORE) visa is a meaningful program for people who meet the following conditions. The primary beneficiaries of this system are international students currently studying or preparing to enroll in manufacturing-related majors at Korean junior colleges, as well as employers in local small and medium-sized manufacturing companies seeking to stably secure foreign workers with intermediate technical skills. However, the existing E-7-1 pathway may be more suitable for professionals who already hold a bachelor's degree or higher, while those with experience in non-professional employment (E-9) should consider the E-7-4 (Skilled Workforce Point System). It is accurate to understand E-7-M as a newly created 'third pathway' situated between these two. The real journey begins the moment you receive your diploma. We understand that the entire process of checking visa requirements, preparing documents, and interviewing in a foreign land is not easy. JobPloy, a recruitment platform for international students, will be by your side from the very first step of recruitment to your stable settlement, helping you fully unfold your career in Korea.

Hello to all foreigners residing in Korea, and to all foreigners wishing to enter Korea. Please be careful as illegal websites impersonating Korea's official electronic entry declaration site are currently being distributed. This applies not only to workers but to all foreigners. Important. Be suspicious if a site that is not official requests payment. Recently, the Immigration and Foreign Policy Headquarters of the Ministry of Justice announced that similar websites impersonating the official electronic entry declaration form have been identified. According to official guidelines, e-arrivalcard.go.kr is the only official website for the Republic of Korea's electronic entry declaration system, and any site requiring payment information input is not an official service. The Electronic Entry Declaration is a service that allows users to submit necessary information online prior to entering Korea. However, cases have recently been identified where websites use names or interfaces similar to the official site to make it appear as if they are government services, thereby inducing users to enter fees or payment information. The Ministry of Justice has advised the public to exercise extreme caution to prevent damages resulting from the use of such sites. It is especially important to remember that the electronic entry declaration service is free of charge . Official announcements also advise that if a similar site requests a monetary transaction, it may be an impersonation site, and emphasize that you must verify the public institution domain (go.kr) and the government mark when accessing the electronic entry declaration service. If you are preparing to file an electronic entry report, please check the following points first. First, check the address. The official website is e-arrivalcard.go.kr. It is safer to close it immediately if the address is even slightly different, or if you see an unfamiliar address when accessing it via a search ad or messenger link. Second, stop if you are prompted to make a payment or enter card information. The Ministry of Justice has clearly announced that any website requesting payment information is not an official service. Since the electronic entry declaration itself is a free service , you should first suspect the possibility of impersonation if you are prompted to make a payment. Third, do not click on links with unclear sources. Official announcements also advise against using URLs with uncertain sources. It is safer to access information through official guidance rather than clicking directly on ads at the top of search results, text messages, social media links, or community links. Even a small mistake during the entry preparation process can expose your personal or payment information. Those required to file an electronic entry declaration must verify that they are using the official site before proceeding. In particular, if you are a foreign job seeker, international student, or planning to visit, please be sure to share this information with your acquaintances. Recently, due to the development of AI, such fake sites are being distributed indiscriminately, so we ask for the caution of foreigners. Check various parts of the site to see other content and features, and double-check two or three times to make sure it is a truly credible site. Jobflowy will continue to quickly organize visa and immigration information based on official announcements that is truly helpful for foreign job seekers and residents.
