Work Visa (E-Series)

Work legally in South Korea with employer sponsorship. Expert guidance through the application process.

About Work Visa (E-Series)

The South Korea Work Visa allows Georgian citizens to work legally in South Korea with employer sponsorship. This visa is essential for professionals seeking career opportunities abroad.

Processing typically takes 5-10 days, though employer sponsorship and labor market requirements may extend this timeline. Work visa policies differ significantly across countries. Unlike Singapore, South Korea has its own specific requirements for employer sponsorship and skill qualifications.

Most work visas require a job offer from a South Korea employer willing to sponsor your application. The employer must typically demonstrate that no local candidates are available for the position.
