H-2 (방문취업) was the working visit visa for ethnic Koreans from China and CIS countries. Since February 12, 2026, new H-2 visas are no longer issued.

What the H-2 visa lets you do

  • Ethnic Koreans who used to apply for H-2 now apply for F-4, the Overseas Korean visa, on the same terms as other overseas Koreans.
  • F-4 holders can work almost anywhere. Simple manual labour jobs (단순노무) on the Ministry of Justice list, such as delivery and cleaning, are not allowed, except in some areas with shrinking populations. That list was revised in February 2026.
  • Application fees are waived through December 31, 2027 for former H-2 applicants moving to F-4.

652 live jobs at companies that our read expects to hire people who already have the right to work in Korea, such as F-2, F-4, F-5 or F-6 holders.

Common questions

Can I also apply to jobs that usually use the E-7 visa?

Yes. If your visa already lets you work, the employer does not need to sponsor you, so roles that usually hire on E-7 are open to you too. This list shows only the jobs whose posting points to people who already have work rights.

Can I still get an H-2 visa?

No. New H-2 visas stopped on February 12, 2026. Apply for F-4 instead. The F-4 guide covers the documents.

Does time on H-2 count toward E-7-4?

Yes. E-7-4 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.
