The E7 visa is one of the most popular visas among the top qualifications for working in Korea. Here, the high-level visa corresponds to E7-1 to E7-3, which are professional workers, and the E7-4 visa, which is a point-based skilled worker, is not a high-end visa, but it is not a high-end visa, but it is quite popular and has a fairly competitive rate. It is also a high visa.

The E-7 visa is mainly issued to professional and manager-level personnel. Acquisition also requires various requirements. However, even if the period of stay is extended after obtaining once, the requirements of the first E7 visa must be maintained. Do it.

One of the requirements that must be maintained even when the period of stay is extended is the portion of income from employment activities, and in the case of other E7-1, continuing employment at the relevant company is also an important criterion.

Accordingly, the documents required for the extension of the period of stay are summarized, so those who wish to extend the period of stay are likely to be of reference.

I. Precautions

At the beginning of this article, it was stated that those who received an E7 visa should continue to maintain their existing E7 VISA eligibility requirements when extending their stay. This is whether any of the above documents have been reported to the immigration authorities in advance if there is a change in work or income under the conditions of obtaining an e7 visa for the first time. For example, in the case of a change of workplace, a report of change of work place, a case in which the employee has performed other salary activities other than the salary at the workplace, has engaged in activities with a qualification other than the existing qualifications and has not received the notification or permission.

If such a problem occurs, the foreigner may be subject to a criminal investigation and fine or punishment for violating Korean laws.

When extending the period of study, you should always keep this in mind and prepare in advance.
