Review pending · not indexed

The short answer

A job offer does not prove that the work is permitted under your student status. Check HiKorea and your university before starting any paid work.

Who this is for

D-2 or D-4 students considering paid work

Follow these steps

  1. Check whether your status and program permit the proposed work.
  2. Confirm the current approval process with HiKorea and the university.
  3. Do not start until required permission is complete.

If something goes wrong

  • job not permitted
  • permission pending
  • employer pressure
