E-9 is the Employment Permit System (EPS) visa for non-professional work, such as manufacturing, agriculture and some services.

What the E-9 visa lets you do

  • You cannot pick an employer from abroad. After the EPS-TOPIK test, employers choose workers from the HRD Korea roster.
  • You can stay up to 4 years 10 months. Spouses and children cannot join you on a dependent visa.
  • You are covered by Korea's minimum wage (₩10,320 an hour in 2026) and severance pay. Overtime pay and annual leave follow the Labor Standards Act, which has exceptions for farm and fishing work and for workplaces with fewer than 5 employees.

Common questions

Can I apply to these jobs directly from abroad?

Not for a new E-9. New E-9 workers are matched through EPS: you pass the EPS-TOPIK, register on the roster, and an employer selects you. These listings help people who already have the right to work, and show what the jobs look like.

Can I change employers on E-9?

Only for set reasons such as wage arrears, abuse, closure or contract expiry. You can change up to 3 times in your first 3 years and 2 more times in an extension. Changes that are not your fault, such as closure or unpaid wages, do not count. You must apply within 1 month of your contract ending and find a new employer within 3 months of applying. Workers who entered from September 2023 must stay in the same sector and region.

How can I stay in Korea longer than E-9 allows?

The usual route is E-7-4, the skilled worker visa. It needs at least 4 years on E-9, E-10 or H-2 in the last 10 years, a 2-year contract at ₩26,000,000 a year or more (₩25,890,000 in farming, fishing and coastal shipping), a recommendation from the employer you have worked for at least 1 year, and a K-Point score of 200 out of 300 with at least 50 points each for income and Korean.

How fresh are these listings?

Pulled from each employer's career page every day. Listings that disappear from the source are marked expired within 24 hours.

How does Seoulstart decide if a role is 'English-friendly'?

Each posting is classified by its language signals: JD language, explicit Korean-fluency requirements, foreign-team mentions, sponsorship language, and the company's track record of hiring foreign workers. Roles that look Korean-only fall below our threshold and don't surface here. The classification is Seoulstart's read of the public JD; always verify language requirements directly with the recruiter.
