Foreign Workers with D-3, E-8, E-9 and E-10 visas are among those who can apply for re-entry visas on-line. For more information, visit Hi Korea Portal or telephone 02-2650-6390.
Renewal process for E-9 Visas to be implemented in 2009:
Under current law, foreign employees invited by Korean companies on E-9 visas can stay here for up to three years by extending his or her visa every year. After three years, they are forced to go overseas for at least one month to renew contracts with the same employer for two more years.
As of early 2009, foreign nationals who work at Korean firms in Korea on E-9 visas will be able to stay for up to three years without extending their visas, and also skip the mandatory one-month absence to renew their contracts for a further two-years. Note: employement must be with the same firm for the full 5-year period.
