Korea provides many welfare benefits for employment and livelihood. In particular, the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit are among them, and many people believe these are benefits only available to Korean citizens.However, F-6 visa holders who are married to a Korean national or are raising a child with Korean nationality can also apply.If you meet the conditions, the support amount is significant, so be sure to check.Must I be employed? Or must I be unemployed?Many people ask, “Do I have to be currently working?”, “Do I need to register as a job seeker after unemployment to receive it?”, or “Can I not apply if I am receiving unemployment benefits?”The Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit are not employment support funds paid to those who are currently job hunting.It is not based on whether you are currently employed or registered as a job seeker, but rather on whether you had earned income, business income, or religious income in the target year, and is judged based on the household members, income, and asset conditions of that year.Therefore, someone who worked last year but is currently unemployed can apply, and conversely, even if you are currently employed, if you had no income eligible for the credit last year, you cannot receive the credit for that year. The application requirements do not include job seeker registration at an employment center, job seeking activities, or unemployment status.※ This article was written as of September 1, 2026.Check your ‘current status’ needed for EITC and Child Tax Credit applicationCurrent SituationEligibilityJudgment CriteriaCurrently employed at a companyPossibleCheck income, household, and asset requirements for the target yearCurrently unemployedPossibleUnemployment itself is not an exclusion reasonCurrently job huntingPossibleIrrelevant to job seeker registration at an employment centerNot registered as a job seekerPossibleJob seeker registration is not an application requirementWorked last year, resigned this yearPossibleCredit for last year is judged based on last year's incomeChanged jobs multiple timesPossibleAggregate income from multiple workplaces in the target yearWorked as a daily laborerPossibleDaily labor income can also be subject to credit reviewCurrently on parental leave/sick leavePossibleLeave status itself is not an exclusion reasonRan a business last year, currently closedPossibleJudged based on business income of the target year and other requirementsCurrently receiving unemployment benefitsMay be possibleIncome status in the target year is more important than receiving benefitsNo income last year, currently job huntingNot possible for last yearJob hunting status alone does not generate creditReceiving only unemployment or job promotion benefitsNot possible with that aloneCannot replace earned, business, or religious incomeCurrently employed but no income last yearNot possible for last yearThis year's income is judged in this year's creditThe National Tax Service also guides that the Earned Income and Child Tax Credits are paid to residents who have earned income, business income, or religious income in the target year, and if none of these three types of income exist, they are not eligible. On the other hand, simply being closed or resigned does not exclude you.Credits available for application as of September 2026Currently, two different types of application periods are operating simultaneously.① Late application for 2025 Earned Income and Child Tax CreditIf you had earned income, business income, or religious income in 2025 but missed the regular application in May 2026, you can apply late.CategoryDetailsTarget Income2025 Annual IncomeApplication TargetEarned Income Tax Credit / Child Tax CreditRegular ApplicationMay 1, 2026 ~ June 1, 2026Late ApplicationJune 2, 2026 ~ December 1, 2026Payment Amount95% of the calculated amountCurrent Employment StatusIrrelevantHousehold Member Reference DateDecember 31, 2025Asset Reference DateJune 1, 2025Even if you are currently unemployed or have moved to another company, you can apply late if you met the 2025 conditions. However, for late applications, 5% is deducted from the calculated credit, so only 95% is paid.② Semi-annual application for 2026 first-half Earned Income Tax CreditIf you had earned income between January and June 2026, you can apply for the first-half 2026 Earned Income Tax Credit.CategoryDetailsTarget IncomeJanuary~June 2026 Earned IncomeApplication PeriodSeptember 1, 2026 ~ September 15, 2026Application TargetHouseholds with only earned income for the applicant and spouseExpected Payment DateDecember 17, 2026First-half Payment Amount35% of the annual estimated amountFirst-half Max PaymentUp to 1.15 million KRWFinal SettlementJune 2027People who worked in the first half and then resigned can also apply. The National Tax Service guides that the annual converted income for mid-term retirees and daily laborers is calculated as 'total first-half salary × 2'. This means that even if you are not employed as of June 30, 2026, you can be eligible for the semi-annual application.However, if you or your spouse have business or religious income, you must apply during the regular application period in May 2027, not the semi-annual application.Don't we apply for the Child Tax Credit separately in the first half?The September 2026 semi-annual application is for the Earned Income Tax Credit. However, if you apply for the first-half Earned Income Tax Credit, it is considered that you have also applied for the Child Tax Credit, and if you meet the Child Tax Credit requirements, it will be paid together with the Earned Income Tax Credit settlement in June 2027.The first condition that foreigners must meetMust be a 'resident' under tax lawThe Earned Income and Child Tax Credit is a system for residents under tax law.The resident mentioned here is not the same as immigration status names like F-2 resident visa. A resident under the Income Tax Act refers to an individual who has an address in Korea or has had a residence for 183 days or more. In actual judgment, life relationships such as family living together in Korea, occupation, and housing may also be considered.Therefore, even if you have other statuses such as E-9, E-7, or F-4, you can become a resident under tax law. However, meeting the condition of being a resident under tax law does not automatically allow a foreigner to apply for the credit.Nationality exception conditions that foreigners must meetForeigners without Korean nationality are in principle excluded from applying for the Earned Income and Child Tax Credit.However, you can apply if you meet one of the following as of the end of the target year:A foreigner married to a person with Korean nationalityA foreigner who has a dependent child with Korean nationalityIn other words, having an Alien Registration Card or a specific visa is not enough. The law recognizes exceptions based on whether you have a Korean spouse or a Korean dependent child, not the type of visa.What does it look like by residency status?SituationForeigner Nationality RequirementF-6 and married to a Korean spousePossibility of applicationF-6 but divorced before the end of the target yearMay be difficult if there is no Korean dependent childF-5 Permanent ResidentCannot apply with F-5 aloneF-4 Overseas KoreanCannot apply with F-4 aloneE-7, E-9, H-2 WorkerCannot apply with status aloneE-7, F-4, etc. with a Korean spousePossibility of application if other conditions are metForeign single parent with a Korean dependent childPossibility of application if other conditions are metOnly foreign spouse and foreign childrenDifficult to meet foreign exception requirementsCan F-6 marriage immigrants receive it automatically?No.F-6 marriage immigrants are likely to meet the foreign nationality exception if their marriage with a Korean spouse is maintained. However, you must also check all of the following conditions:Whether you are a resident under tax lawWhether you had earned, business, or religious income in the target yearWhether the total combined income of the couple is below the standardWhether the total assets of all household members are below the standardWhether you are not in an excluded category such as a professional business ownerIn other words, F-6 is just one of the conditions to judge the possibility of application, not a status that guarantees payment.Can F-5 permanent residents not receive it?Foreigners with only F-5 permanent residency cannot apply.However, if you are married to a Korean spouse or have a Korean dependent child, you can meet the foreign exception conditions. Whether you have a Korean spouse or a Korean dependent child is more important than whether you hold permanent residency.When is the marriage/child status judged?The 2025 Earned Income and Child Tax Credit is in principle judged based on the status as of December 31, 2025, regarding the spouse and dependent children.Let's look at an example.If you were married to a Korean spouse on December 31, 2025Even if you resigned or divorced in 2026, the marriage status for the 2025 credit is in principle judged based on the status as of December 31, 2025.If you married a Korean in January 2026Because you did not have a Korean spouse on December 31, 2025, you cannot meet the foreign exception condition for the 2025 credit just by the fact of marriage in 2026.However, the credit for 2026 income is finally judged based on the marriage/household status as of December 31, 2026.If you divorced a Korean spouse but are raising a Korean childEven if you divorced a Korean spouse, if you have a Korean dependent child and meet other conditions, you may qualify for the foreign exception.What income must I have in the target year?You must have at least one of the following three types of income in the target year:Earned incomeBusiness incomeReligious incomeEarned income can include not only regular earned income but also daily labor income. For business income earners, the business income for credit review is calculated by applying the adjustment rate by industry, not by looking at the entire actual sales.On the other hand, the following status alone does not make you eligible for the credit:Only registered as a job seeker at an employment centerOnly received job promotion benefits from the National Employment Support ProgramOnly received unemployment benefitsOnly received living expenses from familyNo earned, business, or religious income in the target yearHowever, if you had earned income last year and are receiving unemployment benefits this year, the credit for last year is not automatically excluded because of the unemployment benefits received this year. It is judged based on last year's income and household/asset conditions. The National Tax Service guides that if there is no earned, business, or religious income at all, you are not eligible for payment.Earned Income Tax Credit income conditions and payment amountThe total combined income standard for couples and the maximum payment amount for the 2025 Earned Income Tax Credit are as follows.Household TypeTotal Combined Income StandardMax PaymentMax Payment BracketSingle-person householdLess than 22 million KRW1.65 million KRWTotal salary, etc. 4~9 million KRWSingle-earner householdLess than 32 million KRW2.85 million KRWTotal salary, etc. 7~14 million KRWDual-earner householdLess than 44 million KRW3.3 million KRWTotal salary, etc. 8~17 million KRWThe maximum payment is not an amount paid to everyone who just passes the income standard. It is a structure where the credit increases as the total salary, etc., increases up to a certain bracket, and the credit decreases as income increases after passing the maximum payment bracket.How are household types classified?Single-person householdA household without a spouse, dependent children under 18, or direct ascendants aged 70 or older under certain conditions.Single-earner householdMeets one of the following:Has a spouse, and the spouse's total salary, etc., is less than 3 million KRW per yearNo spouse, but has dependent childrenNo spouse, but supports a direct ascendant aged 70 or older who meets certain conditionsDual-earner householdA household where the applicant and spouse each have a total salary, etc., of 3 million KRW or more per year.For example, if the Korean spouse has no income at all, the foreign applicant is usually classified as a single-earner household. Conversely, if the foreign applicant and the Korean spouse each have a total salary, etc., of 3 million KRW or more, it falls under a dual-earner household.Child Tax Credit income conditions and payment amountThe Child Tax Credit can be applied for by single-earner or dual-earner households with a total combined income of less than 70 million KRW.The basic calculated amount is 500,000 KRW to 1 million KRW per dependent child.Number of dependent childrenBasic calculated amount1 child500,000~1 million KRW2 children1 million~2 million KRW3 children1.5 million~3 million KRWFor single-earner households, up to 1 million KRW per child is calculated in the bracket where total salary, etc., is 21 million KRW or less, and for dual-earner households, in the bracket between 6 million KRW and 25 million KRW. However, the actual payment may be less than the table due to 50% reduction based on assets, 5% reduction for late application, and overlapping adjustment of child tax deduction.‘Total Income’ and ‘Total Salary, etc.’ are differentIn the credit system, two income concepts are distinguished and used.Total IncomeUsed when judging the income standard for application eligibility.Earned incomeBusiness income applying industry-specific adjustment ratesReligious incomeOther incomeInterest incomeDividend incomePension incomeTotal Salary, etc.Used when calculating the actual credit payment and distinguishing between single-earner and dual-earner households.Earned incomeBusiness income applying industry-specific adjustment ratesReligious incomeTherefore, even if earned income is below the standard, if the total income including interest, dividends, pensions, and other income exceeds the standard, you may be excluded from the application target.Dependent child conditions for Child Tax CreditJust because you have children does not mean everyone is eligible for the Child Tax Credit.Dependent children must in principle meet all of the following conditions:Must be a child/adopted child of the applicant or spouse, etc., as defined by lawMust have been under 18 years old during the target yearThe sum of the child's annual income must be 1 million KRW or lessMust be a child actually supportedFor dependent children with severe disabilities, age restrictions are not applied according to certain conditions.Birth date criteria for children for 2025 attributionIf they were under 18 for even one day in 2025, they are considered to have met the age requirement. Therefore, for the 2025 attribution, those born after January 2, 2007, generally meet the age requirement. However, other conditions such as income and support relationship must also be met.Can I receive both the child tax deduction and the Child Tax Credit?You cannot receive the full amount of both the income tax child tax deduction and the Child Tax Credit for the same child redundantly.If you have applied for both systems, the amount already received as a child tax deduction is deducted from the Child Tax Credit calculation, and the remaining amount is paid. This adjustment applies only to the Child Tax Credit and not to the Earned Income Tax Credit.You must also check the asset conditionsThe 2025 Earned Income and Child Tax Credit aggregates the assets owned by all household members as of June 1, 2025.Total AssetsResultLess than 170 million KRWFull payment possible170 million KRW ~ less than 240 million KRW50% payment of calculated amount240 million KRW or moreExcluded from paymentAssets include the following items:Housing, land, buildingsNon-business passenger carsJeonse depositFinancial assets such as deposits, savings, stocksMembershipsRights to acquire real estate and pre-sale rightsYou should also be aware that loans or other debts are not deducted from assets. For example, even if you have a 200 million KRW mortgage on a 300 million KRW house, it is not calculated as 100 million KRW in net assets, but in principle, the housing appraisal value is included in the assets.Jeonse deposits are generally applied as the smaller amount between the actual Jeonse money and the deemed Jeonse money calculated at 55% of the standard market price. If the actual Jeonse money is lower, you must submit a lease agreement for the actual amount to be reflected.Cases where you are excluded even if you meet income and asset standardsEven if your income and assets are below the standard, you may not be able to apply or may be excluded from payment if you fall under the following:If you are a foreigner as of the end of the target year and do not have a Korean spouse or a Korean dependent childIf you were a dependent child of another resident during the target yearIf the applicant or spouse operated a professional businessIn the case of the Earned Income Tax Credit, if you are a regular employee continuously working as of the end of the target year with an average monthly earned income of 5 million KRW or moreIf you applied using false earned income data, etc.The exclusion rule for continuously working regular employees with an average monthly earned income of 5 million KRW or more applies to the Earned Income Tax Credit and does not apply equally to the Child Tax Credit. If not only you but also your spouse falls under this, you may be excluded from the Earned Income Tax Credit payment target.Checking application possibility through casesCase 1. F-6 marriage immigrant who worked until 2025 and is currently job huntingMarried to a Korean spouse in 2025Had earned income in 2025Resigned in 2026 and is job huntingMeets income/asset conditionsEven if you are currently unemployed or job hunting, you can apply for the 2025 Earned Income and Child Tax Credit. Job seeker registration is not required.Case 2. F-6 marriage immigrant who had no income in 2025 and is currently job huntingNo earned, business, or religious income in 2025Currently job hunting in 2026Even if you have a Korean spouse and low income/assets, if you had no income eligible for the credit in 2025, you cannot receive the 2025 credit.Case 3. F-5 permanent resident who worked in 2025Had earned income in 2025Holds F-5 permanent residencyNo Korean spouseNo Korean dependent childBecause F-5 permanent residency alone does not meet the foreign nationality exception, it is difficult to apply for the Earned Income and Child Tax Credit.Case 4. Worked in 2025 and married a Korean in January 2026The marriage status for the 2025 credit is judged as of December 31, 2025. If you married in January 2026, that marriage relationship is not reflected in the 2025 credit.However, the credit for 2026 income is finally judged based on the marriage status as of December 31, 2026.Case 5. Worked from January to May 2026 and currently resignedIf you have earned income in the first half of 2026 and only have earned income for yourself and your spouse, you can apply for the first-half 2026 Earned Income Tax Credit in September 2026.The income of a mid-term retiree is calculated by doubling the total first-half salary to estimate annual income. It is irrelevant whether you are currently job hunting.Case 6. Ran a business in 2025 and currently closedIf you had business income eligible for the credit in 2025 and met other conditions such as income and assets, you can apply for the 2025 credit even if you are currently closed.However, people with business income must use the regular application or late application, not the semi-annual application.Case 7. Had no income in 2025 and got a job for the first time in 2026You cannot apply late for the 2025 credit.However, if earned income occurred between January and June 2026, you can separately check whether you are eligible for the first-half 2026 semi-annual application. Even if you did not receive a notification, if you judge that you meet the requirements, you can apply directly on Hometax.How to applyHometax or Mobile HometaxYou can apply on Hometax via the following path:Tax Credit/Year-end Settlement/Donation → Earned Income/Child Tax Credit → ApplyEven if you did not receive an application notification, you can apply by direct entry after logging in. On Hometax, you check household member, income, and asset data and register your contact information and refund account.ARS Phone ApplicationPhone number: 1544-9944Apply using the individual authentication number in the notificationUsage hours: 6 AM ~ Midnight Application Assistance ServiceIf it is difficult to apply by yourself, you can get help through the Tax Credit Counseling Center.Tax Credit Counseling Center: 1566-3636General Tax Counseling: National Tax Counseling Center 126Just because you didn't receive an application notification doesn't mean you aren't eligible. If the company did not submit earned income data or if the actual income is different from the National Tax Service data, you can apply directly by attaching evidence such as a workplace income confirmation certificate.Documents good for foreigners to prepareNot all documents must be submitted, but the following documents may be needed when the relationship or income cannot be confirmed by National Tax Service data.CategoryExample of preparation documentsIdentity/ResidenceAlien Registration Card, Domestic Residence Report CardMarriage RelationshipMarriage Certificate, family relationship related documentsKorean ChildFamily Relation Certificate, birth relationship proofEarned IncomeEarned Income Withholding Receipt, pay stub, salary deposit historyUnsubmitted IncomeWorkplace income confirmation certificateBusiness IncomeComprehensive Income Tax filing data, business income payment statementAssetsLease agreement, Jeonse deposit dataPayment AccountPassbook in the applicant's nameFor marriage/birth related documents issued abroad, translation or additional authentication data may be requested, so it is good to check the necessary documents at the competent tax office or National Tax Counseling Center 126.Comprehensive FAQQ1. Do I have to be currently job hunting to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit?No. Job seeker registration or job hunting activities are not requirements for the Earned Income Tax Credit application. We check whether you had earned, business, or religious income in the target year and the household/income/asset conditions.Q2. Do I have to be currently employed?No. People who worked last year and are currently resigned can also apply for the credit for last year. People who worked in the first half of 2026 and are currently resigned can also be eligible for the semi-annual application.Q3. Can I apply if my current income is 0?Even if you have no current income, it is possible if you had income eligible for the credit in the target year. For example, if you worked in 2025 and are currently unemployed in 2026, you can check the 2025 attribution.Q4. Can I receive it if I had no income last year but am currently employed?You cannot receive the credit for last year just because you are currently employed. Income generated currently is judged in the semi-annual application for the current year or the regular application for the next year.Q5. Can I not apply for the credit if I am receiving unemployment benefits?You are not automatically excluded just because you are receiving unemployment benefits. However, if you only have unemployment benefits and had no earned, business, or religious income in the target year, you are not eligible for the credit.Q6. Can all F-6 marriage immigrants apply?No. You must be married to a Korean spouse as of the end of the target year and meet other requirements such as being a resident under tax law, income, household, and assets.Q7. Can F-5 permanent residents apply automatically?No. F-5 permanent residency alone is not enough, and you must be married to a Korean spouse or have a Korean dependent child to meet the foreign exception condition.Q8. Can I receive both the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit?If you meet all the conditions for each, you can receive them together. However, the Child Tax Credit may be adjusted for the amount overlapping with the income tax child tax deduction.Q9. Can a couple apply separately?Because the Earned Income Tax Credit is paid per household, there is only one recipient per household. If multiple household members such as a couple apply, the recipient is decided according to the priority set by law or agreement between household members.Q10. Can I not apply if I didn't receive an application notification?No. The notification is just a prior notice sent based on data held by the National Tax Service. If you judge that you meet the conditions, you can apply directly on Hometax or in writing.Q11. What is the first application I should check as of September 2026?If you had 2025 earned, business, or religious income, you should check the 2025 late application by December 1, 2026.If you only had earned income from January to June 2026, you should check if you are eligible for the first-half 2026 Earned Income Tax Credit by September 15, 2026.Key SummaryThe Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit are not support funds paid to people currently job hunting.The income of the target year, marriage/child status as of year-end, household type, and assets on the asset reference date are more important than whether you are currently employed, unemployed, or job hunting.In addition to this, foreigners must be residents under tax law and married to a Korean spouse or have a Korean dependent child. Eligibility is not determined solely by the name of the residency status such as F-6, F-5, F-4, E-7, or E-9.There are more systems than you think that foreigners can apply for, like the Earned Income and Child Tax Credit. However, because you have to check everything from residency status, family relationship, income, assets, to application timing one by one, the administrative procedure itself can be a big barrier for foreigners.JOBPLOY is helping foreigners find the information they need to work and live in Korea more easily and accurately.We will organize and deliver complex visa and employment information, as well as support systems and administrative information that are easy to miss, in a way that is easy for foreigners to understand.From finding a job in Korea to the process of settling down and living stably.To make life in Korea a little easier for foreigners, JOBPLOY will continue to connect you with the information you need.

Please introduce yourself.Hello! My name is Chantharawit Chantima from Thailand. I am 36 years old and currently living in Seoul, Korea, on a Marriage Immigrant Visa (F-6). I work as a freelance interpreter, building diverse professional experience using both Korean and Thai.Q2. What made you participate in this event?I thought this event held deep historical significance and reflected the strong bond between the two nations. In particular, I was drawn to the fact that it was an event jointly remembered and commemorated by both Korea and Thailand, so I applied wanting to play a meaningful role myself.Q3. What were your main responsibilities at the event?I was in charge of interpretation for the families and descendants of Thai UN Korean War veterans. I translated the tour guide's explanations from Korean to Thai and provided necessary information and guidance during visits to major landmark locations. I also worked alongside the event staff to assist the participants so they could attend the itinerary comfortably. Q4. Was there a particularly memorable moment or episode?The most memorable moment was visiting the War Memorial of Korea. We spent time reflecting on the history of the war, paying tribute, and laying flowers for the fallen soldiers from each nation. During that time, some participants shed tears as they remembered their family members. Although it was a sad moment, it was a deeply meaningful experience that made me reflect on a person’s life, longing for family, and the true value of sacrifice. Q5. What was the most rewarding aspect of communicating with the participants?The most rewarding part was being able to use English again after a long time. Since most of the participants were foreigners, there were many situations where I had to communicate in English. Although my English wasn't perfect, having direct conversations gave me the confidence that "I can communicate in English, too!" This experience motivated me to study English harder and continue growing my skills. Q6. What did you learn or realize through this work?Through this event, I came to realize the true meaning of the sacrifices made during the war. I hadn't thought deeply about war history before, but this experience made me feel that many people sacrificed themselves for their country, and behind that were the stories of their families and loved ones. It was a meaningful time that allowed me to view history not just as a recorded past, but as stories connected to real human lives. Q7. How was your experience working with JOBPLOY?The manager at JOBPLOY provided detailed and friendly guidance regarding the work details. Even while the event was underway, they attentively took care of necessary details, allowing me to participate in the event with greater comfort and peace of mind.Q8.

Hello, this is JOBPLOY, a recruitment platform for foreign job seekers looking for employment in Korea. Living in Korea, mobile phones are more than just a means of communication; they are essential necessities for daily life. Data is used in a wide variety of situations, ranging from staying in touch with family and friends to job hunting, searching maps, using translation services, and watching videos. This is especially important for foreign workers and international students, as they often face environments where Wi-Fi is unavailable; therefore, choosing a plan with sufficient data allowance and stable internet speeds is crucial. Today, through an actual interview with an E-9 visa worker from Myanmar using a JOBPLOY plan, we will share the difficulties experienced while signing up for a mobile phone plan in Korea and their user experience. JOBPLOY Real Usim Interview 1. What is your date of entry into Korea and your current visa? I entered Korea in February 2026 and am currently staying here on an E-9 visa. 2. What was the most difficult part about activating a mobile phone plan in Korea? As a foreigner, I was not yet accustomed to listening to and speaking Korean. When I visited a mobile phone store, I found it difficult to listen to and understand the explanations regarding the rate plans. In addition, it takes about two weeks for an Alien Registration Card to be issued after entering Korea, and I did not know which mobile carrier to use or where to find a place that offered consultation in Burmese. So, I visited a mobile phone store near my company to proceed with activation. 3. How did you find out about our rate plan? My younger sister in Myanmar shared information about Jobploy plans and the Jobploy recruitment site. After reviewing the details, I found it very positive that I could receive assistance not only with signing up for a mobile phone plan but also with finding a job in Korea. 4. What did you like about it compared to your previous carrier or plan? Previously, I used a budget phone plan and paid about 20,000 won per month. Approximately 7GB of data was provided, and I experienced significant inconvenience as the speed slowed down considerably once the data was exhausted. I am currently using the 5G Simple 41GB+1Mbps plan, and I can definitely feel the difference as I am receiving much more data and faster speeds than before. 5. How easy was the sign-up process? It was difficult to understand the content because I was only listening to the explanation in Korean at the mobile phone store. On the other hand, the JOBPLOY recruitment manager explained the pricing plans and costs by writing directly on a whiteboard. Thanks to this, it was easy to understand, and I was satisfied because the sign-up process was not complicated. 6. Are you satisfied with your current data, call, and text allowances? Yes, I am very satisfied. Wi-Fi was not provided in the dormitory at my previous workplace. I frequently used the internet, YouTube, and mobile games after work, but I experienced a lot of inconvenience due to insufficient data and slow speeds. I am currently using it satisfactorily because the data allowance is sufficient and the speed is fast. I am currently still looking for a new job. Once I succeed in finding employment and my current contract expires, I am considering switching to a higher-tier plan. 7. What is the service you are most satisfied with? The most satisfying aspects are the fast internet speed and the generous data allowance. 8. What were your biggest concerns before signing up? I was worried that unexpected additional charges might arise because I did not properly understand the rate plan explanation in Korean. 9. Would you recommend this plan to friends, colleagues, or foreigners visiting Korea for the first time? Yes, I would like to highly recommend it. It is especially important for foreign workers entering Korea for the first time to save on living expenses. I think the '5G Simple 41GB+1Mbps' plan, which offers fast speeds and ample data for 27,000 won per month, offers excellent value for money. 10. Are there any aspects you would like to see improved or services added? I am satisfied with the current service, so there are no specific areas that need improvement. 11. Why did you choose this plan? Since I am currently still looking for a job, it was important for me to reduce the burden of communication costs.

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. JOBPLOY will continue to quickly organize visa and immigration information based on official announcements that is truly helpful for foreign job seekers and residents.

hello, Hello, I'm Kang Byeol, an intern writer for Jobploy, a foreign recruitment platform. If you live in Korea, you will often find yourself needing to get a new passport. Did you know that it's not enough to just get a new passport; you must also report any changes to your passport information to HiKorea? If there is a change in passport information, such as passport number, date of issuance, or expiration date, you must report it to the Immigration Office within 15 days from the date of issuance. It's a good idea to take care of it in advance, as you may be subject to a late fee if you miss the deadline. Today, I'll explain step-by-step how to change your passport information online on the Hi Korea website. 1. Access and log in to Hi Korea First, access 👉 www.hikorea.go.kr in your internet browser. After logging in, click on “Civil Complaint Application” → “Electronic Civil Complaint” in this order from the menu at the top of the screen. 2. Go to the e-petition menu When you click on ‘Apply for Civil Complaint’, you will automatically be taken to the electronic civil complaint screen. If you scroll down the screen a bit, you will see a menu called “Passport Change Report.” You can proceed with the application by clicking on the relevant menu. 3. Enter new passport information When you enter the application screen, basic information such as name and alien registration number will be automatically displayed. First, please check if this information is correct. Then, based on your newly issued passport, Passport number Date of issue Validity period (expiration date) Enter each one accurately. It is important to check carefully as not even a single letter can be different from the information written on your passport. 4. Attach a copy of your passport and complete the application. Finally, scan or take a picture of your passport's personal information page (the page with your photo) with your phone and attach it as a file. After double-checking that the file has been uploaded normally, if there are no problems, click the “Apply” button to complete the application. Just remember this Changes to passport information must be reported within 15 days of the passport issuance date. Failure to report may result in fines When extending a visa or changing your status of residence If your passport information is different, unnecessary problems may arise. If you have reissued your passport, we recommend that you update your information in this order: Hi Korea Report → Bank → Telecommunications Company . The process itself is not difficult, but when you're busy, it's easy to miss this administrative reporting. To avoid unnecessary problems later when extending your visa or changing your residence status, it is safest to take care of it in advance after reissuing your passport. Going forward, JobPloy will continue to provide essential visa, immigration, and administrative information for foreigners living in Korea. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need any information 🙂

Hello! We're JOBPLOY, your reliable partner in foreign recruitment and administrative support . Attention foreigners who own cars in Korea or business owners who employ foreign employees! "Can foreigners also receive tax breaks?" Today, Jobploy provides a complete answer, based on official government data. Is it possible for foreigners to receive a discount on their automobile tax? To conclude, "Of course it is possible!" Automobile tax is a local tax levied on "automobile owners," regardless of nationality. Therefore, if you have a foreign registration number and drive a car in Korea, you can take advantage of the "annual payment system," which allows you to pay in advance and receive a discount, just like Korean nationals. How much discount will I get in 2026? As of 2026, the annual automobile tax deduction rate is 5%. If you pay all at once in January, you'll immediately save approximately 4.58% of your annual tax. You might think, "Only 5%?" But for larger-displacement vehicles, this tip can easily save you the equivalent of a few chickens! How do I apply and pay? (How-to) Being a foreigner doesn't mean the process is complicated. Choose the method below that's most convenient for you. PC/Mobile (Wetax): Visit www.wetax.go.kr and select "Additional Services > Automobile Tax Annual Payment Application." (Joint certificate or simple authentication required.) Just a phone call: Call the tax office of your local city, county, or district office and say, "I'd like to pay my car tax in installments." They'll send you a text message with your virtual account number. (If you're not fluent in Korean, ask someone around you for help!) Easy Payment: You can check your local tax notice and pay it immediately through the 'Bill' or 'Payment' menu in the Kakao Pay or Naver Pay app. When do I apply and pay? Automobile tax annual payments are made in January, March, June, and September, and the later you make the payment, the lower the discount rate. In general, the schedule is similar, from the middle of each month to the last day of each month or the first day of the following month, but there may be slight differences depending on the local government for administrative reasons. Don't forget to pay around the 20th of January, March, June, and September! As of this writing, it's already January 27th. January installment payments are available now, so if you're reading this, apply now. January payment: Approximately 4.58% discount on annual tax amount March payment: Approximately 3.76% discount on annual tax amount June payment: Approximately 2.51% discount on annual tax amount September payment: Approximately 1.25% discount on annual tax amount Key checkpoints provided by Jobploy! 1. If you paid last year, it's automatic this year! If you already paid in installments last year, a discounted bill will be delivered to your home this year without a separate application. Just pay and you're done! 2. What if I sell my car midway through the loan period? Don't worry. If you sell or scrap the car after paying the installment, the remaining tax will be prorated and returned to your account. This is a right officially guaranteed by the government. 3. What if I move ? Even if you move to a different city or province within Korea, the automobile tax you've already paid remains valid. Don't worry, you won't have to pay it twice. Don't give up on tax benefits you might miss out on while living in Korea just because you're a foreigner! JOBPLOY always supports your smart Korean life and stable administrative processing.

Are you working in Korea? Then, the first thing you need to do is find a place to live! What is the first thing you should do when you get a job in Korea? It's about securing a stable place to live near where you will be working. Of course, it would be most convenient if the company provided a dormitory, In reality, many companies don't have dormitories, so foreign workers often have to find a room themselves, sign a contract, and then move in. There are administrative procedures that must follow at this time. This is a report of change of address (or report of change of residence). However, many foreign workers often miss or make mistakes in this area due to lack of information. Today, we will look at the differences in the process of reporting relocation between foreigners and Koreans. And I'll summarize the precautions you need to know in a table. If you're confused about what to prepare right after moving, be sure to read this article! What is a foreigner's move-in report? If a foreigner legally residing in Korea moves, he or she must report the change of residence within 14 days . This report is very important because it is not just about registering your address, but also about managing your residency status and visa. Comparison of Korean vs. Foreigner Relocation Reporting item korean foreigner Reporting deadline Within 14 days after moving Within 14 days after moving How to report Online (Government 24), visit to community center Must report visit (Immigration Office or Resident Center) Required documents ID, lease agreement (if required) Alien registration card, rental agreement Is it possible to report online?

What is the K-Dream Foreigner Support Center? This is an integrated support platform for foreign policy promoted by Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. We are playing a role in helping talented foreigners settle in areas at risk of population decline in Gyeongbuk and contribute to regional development. ✔ Main Services Visa Support : Support for foreigners' stay through regionally specialized visas such as F2R visas. Employment Links : Providing job opportunities through matching job seekers with local businesses, job fairs, and database building. Settlement and Social Integration Support : Assisting foreigners in settling down smoothly and integrating into society with Koreans through counseling, Korean language education, and cultural experience programs. Recently, the K-Dream Foreigner Support Center established the nation's first community for foreigners holding F2R visas. The F2R visa is issued to settle talented foreigners in areas with rapidly declining populations , and allows them to reside in Korea for 5 years. The workshop was held at the Gyeongju Kolon Hotel in December 2024, and was attended by approximately 70 foreigners living in nine cities and counties in Gyeongbuk. It was hoped that this workshop would address the difficulties faced by foreigners living in rural areas and provide Korean language education and settlement support, enabling them to live a stable life in Korea. The K-Dream Foreigner Support Center provides systematic services across various areas, including visa assistance, job placement, and settlement support . This F2R Visa Community Building Workshop is a prime example of this tangible achievement. Each local government is making significant efforts to support the settlement of foreigners in Korea, and this support is expected to contribute to social integration in the long term. If you are a foreigner living in the Gyeongbuk region, please pay attention to the various support services on this site and be sure to receive help. 😊

Hello! This is Huong. 😎 Today, I would like to introduce Korean Lunar New Year culture, traditions, and its meaning. Have you ever celebrated Seollal in Korea? As soon as I arrived in Korea in January, I was able to experience the Korean Lunar New Year firsthand. 😊 Seollal is one of the most important holidays in Korea, celebrating the new year on the first day of the lunar calendar . This day has a traditional meaning of family and friends gathering together to honor their ancestors and pray for good fortune in the new year . Seollal is more than just a holiday; it is a time to reflect on the importance of family and make a new beginning. You can experience the affection felt in warm tradition! [Sebae]🙇‍♀️🙇‍♂️ One of the representative traditions of Seollal is bowing . Sebae is a ceremony in which younger people offer New Year's greetings to their elders, and the elders offer words of wisdom and wish them good fortune in the new year. After the New Year's bow, there is also a custom of exchanging New Year's money🧧 . This goes beyond simply giving pocket money; it carries a symbolic meaning of expressing love and respect between family members. 🤗 (I want to receive it too… 😋) [Table of Contents]🍚 Performing ancestral rites to honor one's ancestors is also one of the important traditions of Seollal. It is a ritual in which food and drinks are offered to ancestors with sincerity and a wish is made for the peace of their souls. A variety of traditional foods are neatly arranged, and each food has its own unique meaning and symbolism. After the ancestral rites, the whole family shares the food that was served, reflects on the kindness of their ancestors, and spends a harmonious time together. A precious tradition that expresses family ties and deep respect for ancestors. This will help strengthen the bond between family members! When I first saw the table of contents, I was very surprised. I was truly amazed at the cultural depth of each and every dish on the table! [Tteokguk] 🍲 You can't miss out on tteokguk, a traditional Korean food for the Lunar New Year! It is a soup dish made with thinly sliced ​​rice cakes, and it has the symbolic meaning of growing a year older when eaten. In addition to tteokguk, there are many other foods that are served on the Seollal table, such as jeon, japchae, and sikhye. All of this contains the wish for abundance and blessings. [Traditional Games]🪁 The joy of Seollal also shines through traditional games played with family! Among them, Yut Nori is a representative game ! It is a game in which the board is moved according to the result of throwing four Yut sticks. It is a game where families cooperate and sometimes compete, and have a laughter-filled time. In addition to these, there are many traditional games such as kite flying, top spinning, and jegichagi . These days, people don't really play these games much during the Lunar New Year holidays, haha. I thought it would be fun, so I wanted to try it, but I had a regret. I was able to experience these things at 'Korean Folk Village' ! If you are in Korea during the Lunar New Year and cannot be with your family, How about visiting Korean Folk Village , experiencing traditional Korean games, and taking some commemorative photos? It will be an unforgettable memory haha So far, we have introduced Korean Lunar New Year traditions! I hope you'll experience this beautiful Korean culture firsthand and make the start of the year even more meaningful. 🥰 Happy New Year everyone! 💖 Have a happy Lunar New Year holiday and see you in the next post~ 🎉🎊 ✨If you have any further questions for Huong, Please contact Jobploy Vietnam on Facebook !

Hello! This is Huong.😎 Last time, we talked about what brought me to Korea. Today, I'd like to introduce how to use public transportation in Korea. 😊 What type of transportation do you mainly use when you travel in Korea? I mainly use buses and subways , and at first I had a lot of difficulties because I wasn't used to them. One of them is an episode that is still funny and absurd even when I think about it now. Haha One day, I was riding the subway home as usual. The train arrived and I got on without thinking much about it, but I was surprised when I saw the name of the next station I was getting off at. Isn't it that the station I'm getting off at is different from the station I'm getting off at? Feeling something was wrong, I got off at an unknown station and asked the station attendant for help. At that time, my Korean was very poor, so I could barely get help by trying hard to express myself with all my body, including all the words I knew 😅 I found out later that the train I was on was an express train , and the station near my house was one where only local trains stopped, so I had missed it. It was my mistake for not knowing that there was an express train … I can laugh about it now, but when I think about it, I still get cold sweats... haha If this is your first time using public transportation in Korea, you may experience a similar situation to mine! I'll tell you about how to use public transportation conveniently. Korea has a very well-developed public transportation system, making it very convenient for both travel and daily life! In particular, Seoul and the metropolitan area are well connected by subways, buses, and taxis , making transportation easy and fast. Transportation costs are reasonable, making it a useful system for travelers! 1️⃣ Use the subway Korea's subway system is divided into five regions: the metropolitan area, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, and Daejeon . Each area is made up of several routes, each color-coded and numbered for easy identification. To use the subway efficiently, I recommend the app called 'Subway Terminator', which lets you check all subway lines across the country at a glance! This app lets you set your departure and destination points to check routes and also view real-time routes. And, like me, you should check the difference between express and local trains before boarding so as not to get confused, right? ^^ 2️⃣ Take the bus Buses in Korea are broadly divided into city buses, express buses, intercity buses, and airport buses . When you arrive in Korea and travel from the airport to your destination, you will most likely use the airport bus ! You can purchase bus tickets at the ticket booth in the airport. After purchasing, be sure to check the time, boarding location, and seat number ! Conversely, when traveling from home to the airport, you can purchase a ticket at a nearby bus terminal , or You can also easily reserve tickets online through the app called ‘Bustago’ . This 'BusTago' app is very convenient because you can purchase tickets for not only airport buses but also intercity buses nationwide. When using city buses , I use the 'National Smart Bus' app. This app also lets you check nearby bus stops and bus arrival times in real time. 3️⃣ Take a taxi There are two main types of taxis in Korea! 🚖Regular taxi There are many different colors and types of cars. The most common taxi color is yellow, but there are also sky blue (electric taxi), yellow (coupe taxi), and pink (women-only). 🚘Model Taxi Although the fare is higher than that of a regular taxi, it provides a more luxurious service. Mainly black colored cars are used. The easiest and most familiar way to catch a taxi is to wave your hand as the taxi passes by. This method won't work if there are no taxis passing by. In that case, you can call a taxi using the 'Kakao T' app! This is an app that is widely used among Koreans. You can call a taxi by setting the desired departure and arrival points. You can use it with confidence as it confirms not only the route of movement but also the taxi driver's face, vehicle number, and phone number . Additionally, if you register your card in advance on the app , payment will be made automatically, which is very convenient. So today, I shared information about how to use public transportation in Korea! How can I help you~? 😊 We will continue to share interesting articles, useful information, and tips, so please enjoy reading! Thank you.^^ ✨If you have any further questions for Huong, Please contact Jobploy Vietnam on Facebook !

Hello! My name is Huong and I'm from Vietnam. 😊 Today, I'd like to share my story and the reason why I came to Korea! These days, Korea is gaining huge popularity all over the world with K-dramas, K-pop, and even Korean food. I, too, fell in love with it and came to Korea. Since I was in elementary school, I started watching Korean dramas naturally when I watched TV with my mom and older sisters. Among all the dramas, I got to know singer Rain through the drama called "Full House" . Since then, I've been looking for Korean dramas and songs of my favorite genres, and I've become more and more immersed in Korean culture. ^^ Did you come here because you have the same romantic notion of Korea as I do? At first, I was simply curious about Korean culture, but I gradually developed a strong desire to live there myself! In particular, Korean food and everyday culture were very attractive to me. Scenes like eating tteokbokki, having dinner at a street food stall, and drinking soju with a lover in dramas gave me a tremendous sense of romance and anticipation. I started dreaming that one day I would live in Korea like a scene from a Korean drama! I've been learning Korean like that for 10 years now, and I'm naturally immersed in Korean culture. Haha. So much has happened in the 10 years I've spent in Korea! Today, I'd like to talk about what brought me to Korea. I'll be sharing my experiences in Korea step by step! Please look forward to my next post. 😊 ✨If you have any further questions for Huong, Please contact Jobploy Vietnam on Facebook !

📢 Notice on the implementation of the second joint government crackdown on illegal foreign residents in 2024 and the operation of the special voluntary departure period The Ministry of Justice will strictly deal with the issue of illegal stay and implement the second joint government crackdown in 2024 to protect the safety and livelihood of the people. This crackdown will focus on cracking down on illegal acts that pose a threat to the people and the issue of illegal stay of foreigners, while providing exemption from entry regulations and fines for illegal foreigners who voluntarily leave the country during the voluntary departure period, thereby helping more foreigners to stay legally. 📅 Crackdown period Monday, September 30, 2024 - Saturday, November 30, 2024 (2 months) 👥 Participating ministries 5 ministries including Ministry of Justice, National Police Agency, Ministry of Employment and Labor, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Korea Coast Guard 🔍 Focused areas of enforcement Crimes committed by illegal aliens, including drug use Industries that undermine national jobs, such as delivery services Working in the entertainment industry Illegal entry and employment brokerage activities This joint government crackdown will focus on cracking down on not only illegal stays but also crimes related to foreigners that threaten the safety of citizens or hinder the livelihood of citizens. In addition to strict measures against various immigration crimes, we plan to contribute to the establishment of law and order through measures such as forced deportation and entry bans. 🔈 Voluntary departure recommended Special benefits are provided to illegal aliens who leave the country during the voluntary departure period, including exemption from fines and entry restrictions. Through this opportunity, we plan to provide guidance on how illegal aliens can voluntarily leave the country and re-enter through legal procedures. The government is taking a thorough approach to solving the problem of illegal stay and is encouraging voluntary departure from the country ahead of crackdowns. This will give you the opportunity to leave the country without legal problems and later re-enter legally.

👉 Minimum wage The Republic of Korea has a minimum wage system to guarantee a minimum level of wages for workers, ensure living stability, improve the quality of the workforce, and promote the sound development of the national economy. This also applies equally to foreigners working in Korea. 📍 The minimum wage in 2024 is 9,860 won (2.5% increase from the previous year) Based on 40 hours of work per week and 209 hours per month, approximately 2,060,740 won per month 👉 Holiday allowance Workers who work more than 15 hours a week are given one day off per week, during which they are entitled to holiday pay. This is equivalent to 120% of the minimum wage and is calculated as 'daily regular working hours X hourly wage'. Salaried workers receive holiday pay included in their monthly salary, while hourly workers receive it when they work more than 15 hours a week. ex) If you work 8 hours a day for 5 days a week, you will receive an additional daily wage of 8 hours X (hourly wage) 9,860 won = 78,880 won as holiday pay. 📍 The hourly wage including holiday pay in 2024 is 11,832 won 👉 Night shift allowance This applies only to workplaces with 5 or more employees, and is an additional 50% of the regular wage when working from 10 PM to 6 AM. ex) If you worked 5 hours at night, you will receive an additional 24,650 won, which is 50% of 5 hours X (hourly wage) 9,860 won = 49,300 won.

The Ministry of Justice has been operating the 'Social Integration Program' education with government funds since 2009 to support foreigners' adaptation to Korean society and independence, and had foreigners only pay for textbooks and evaluation fees. However, due to the rapid increase in the number of foreign residents/education participants, the Ministry of Justice is pushing forward with a plan to partially charge tuition only for repeat students. *reference Foreign residents (2020) 2,036,075 → (end of June 2023) 2,411,277 Education participants ('20) 36,620 → ('23) 60,000 Considering the public interest nature of social integration education for foreigners in our society as a whole, we plan to minimize side effects such as a decrease in participants by implementing stage-by-stage and target-based fees rather than full-scale fees. The funds raised through fee-based fees will be reinvested in improving the educational environment and quality of education, and will be used to improve and enhance the learning convenience of potential participants. (However, education fees will be exempted for socially disadvantaged groups such as the disabled, refugees, and those who require policy preferential treatment such as multi-child marriage immigrants.) 📢 Official press release from the Ministry of Justice
