Distribution of Quota among countries

The labor ministry of South Korea had announced to accept 56,000 foreign workers under the Employment Permit System in 2020, the same number as last year, in a bid to relieve a labor shortage in the country.

Under the plan, Korea has to accept 43,000 newcomers and 13,000 returnees -2,000 fewer newcomers than in 2018 and 2,000 more returnees. Under the EPS, a foreign worker can work in Korea for up to four years and 10 months on an E-9 free Korean work visa, but cannot leave and re-enter the country on the same visa during that time.

After four years and 10 months, E-9 holders who meet certain conditions are eligible to leave and re-enter the country to return to their previous employers. In this way, a worker can spend almost ten years on E- 9 South Korea visa.

South Korea visa


The plan reflected industries’ demand for foreign workers and the estimated number of foreign workers likely to return to their home countries in 2019, the Labor Ministry explained.

About 28,880 new foreign workers have entered Korea in January, April, July, and October on a Korean free work visa to work in the manufacturing industry, with 60 percent started work in the first half of 2019. In our country, this visa was known as Korea free visa for Pakistan 2020 and Korea work visa 2020.

To meet seasonal demand, some 5,450 new foreign workers will be allocated to the farming and livestock industries in January, April, and October; 4,580 to the fishing and construction sectors and 90 to the service industry in January and April.

To allocate workers most efficiently across sectors, the government will decide where to allocate 4,000 new foreign workers after reviewing employment figures for different sectors for the first half of 2019.

Since 2004, Korea has accepted low-skilled migrant workers from 16 countries via the EPS in response to labor shortages at the country’s farms, fisheries, and small and medium-sized companies. The number of foreign workers in the EPS gradually increased after 2014 and peaked in 2016 at 58,000.
