тЬЕ Overview of H-1 (Working Holiday) Visa
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Official Name | Short-Term Employment (H-1) Visa |
| Legal Basis | Article 23, Appendix 1 of the Enforcement Regulations of the Immigration Control Act |
| Purpose | Tourism, cultural experience, and short-term part-time work |
| Duration | Up to 1 year (may vary by country; extension generally not allowed) |
| Eligibility | Citizens aged 18тАУ30 from countries with Working Holiday agreements (some countries allow up to age 25) |
1. Permitted Activities
Since the primary purpose of the H-1 visa is tourism and cultural exchange, only incidental, short-term employment is allowed.
| Permitted Jobs | Conditions |
|---|---|
| Part-time jobs at convenience stores, cafes, restaurants | No specific weekly work hour limit (as long as not enrolled in full-time studies) |
| Hotel, guesthouse, or service-related work | Allowed |
| Seasonal jobs at farms, ski resorts, tourist sites | Allowed |
| Assistant teacher at English camps or private academies | Allowed only for native English speakers; formal teaching is not permitted |
2. Prohibited Activities (Restrictions)
The following are explicitly prohibited under the H-1 visa:
| Prohibited Activities | Reason |
|---|---|
| Full-time, regular employment | Conflicts with the temporary work intent of the visa |
| Private academy instructor or school teacher | Professional jobs are not permitted |
| Office-based full-time jobs | Jobs that assume permanent employment status are not allowed |
| Unskilled labor in manufacturing or construction | Strictly prohibited unless holding an E-9, H-2, or other appropriate visa |
| Working in businesses that hire undocumented workers | May lead to visa cancellation or deportation |
3. Additional Notes
- The stay is usually limited to 1 year, and extensions are generally not allowed for Korea (some exceptions apply in countries like Australia or New Zealand).
- Some countries require pre-approval for employment even under the H-1 visa.
- If working, the employer must report the labor contract and 4 major insurances; the worker is protected under Korean labor law.
- If earning above a certain amount, the foreigner is required to file income tax (Comprehensive Income Tax Return).
4. Consequences of Visa Violation
- Illegal employment can lead to visa cancellation, deportation, and re-entry bans.
- Engaging in long-term or full-time employment is considered a violation of visa conditions.
- May become subject to on-site inspections by Immigration Offices.
тЬЕ Conclusion
The H-1 visa is designed for short-term stay and cultural exchange, and therefore, general or long-term employment is strictly limited. If you wish to work full-time or continue working in Korea, you must change your visa to a suitable type such as E-7 (Skilled Employment) or D-10 (Job Seeking Visa).
