Permit
As of June 1, 2020, all long-term foreign residents in Korea are required to obtain a re-entry permit before leaving Korea. This also applies to foreign residents with permanent residency (F-5 visa). Overseas Koreans (F-4) are exempt. Fully-vaccinated long-term residents can now apply for a multi-entry, re-entry permit and the application fee is waived. You can apply for the permit online. See SNU OGA website, https://www.hikorea.go.kr/cvlappl/CvlapplStep1.pt?ORGN_CVLAPPL_CD=J04 for detailed procedure.
Required documents
- An application form
- Passport
- Residence Card
Part-time Work Permit
International students may work part-time and earn an income during their study at SNU. Part-time work must be conducted under a permission of the immigration office. If you work without a permission, you will immediately get fined and may be deported depending on the degree of violation of laws.
To file an application at the immigration office, you must in advance have your application form signed by SNU OGA. Since the entire process towards the final approval may take more than a month, it is requested that willing applicants should contact SNU OGA to inform their plan at least a month before they start working.
How to get permission
- The applicant arranges a part-time job or internship individually and sign a contract
- The applicant and the officials from the intended place of work fill out a part-time work of foreign student confirmation form together.
- The applicant contacts SNU OGA with all the required documents and acquires an approval for the application (signed by SNU OGA).
- The applicant makes a visit reservation at the immigration office and files an application.
