Visa is one of the most important thing especially when you are thinking of living in Korea legally for a long time. However, there are not many specific stories about visa when you search through the internet. Famigo is now here to tell you!
You can see basic information about visa in this page, and detailed information through the button below.
Today, I’ll discuss the E-7-2 visa for caregivers. Recently, the government announced that international students or foreigners with at least an associate degree from a Korean university can obtain an E-7-2 visa if they acquire a caregiver certification. Many inquiries followed this announcement, prompting the creation of this video to provide accurate information.
A caregiver assists the elderly with daily activities such as eating, bathing, and clothing in care facilities. This role requires basic medical knowledge and skills, which is why a certification is necessary. The certification can be obtained after two months of training at an academy, followed by a simple computer-based exam.
The E-7-2 caregiver visa offers several advantages compared to other visas. It is easier to find jobs as there are many care facilities in urban areas, unlike other specialized visas that limit job opportunities to specific fields. The government plans to issue 400 E-7-2 visas annually in 2024 and 2025, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Eligibility criteria include having at least an associate degree from a Korean university, possessing a caregiver certification, and demonstrating basic Korean language skills (TOPIK level 3 or equivalent). Employers must have at least five Korean employees and can only hire E-7-2 visa holders within 20% of their workforce.
Overall, the E-7-2 caregiver visa is a favorable option for those seeking permanent residency in Korea. Acquiring a master’s degree while working as a caregiver can further enhance the chances of obtaining permanent residency after three years of employment.
