Successful Case of E74 Visa Conversion

We present a real-world example of a change in E-74 visa qualifications to secure stable, long-term employment of highly skilled foreign workers in manufacturing settings.

1. Company A, a local auto parts manufacturer, was grappling with the expiration of an E-9 visa for an employee who had worked diligently for over four years. Since the employee was responsible for a core process, the company decided to utilize the skilled worker program, which guarantees long-term employment, rather than simply extending the visa.
2. We have carefully verified the requirements of the relevant worker and secured a score in accordance with the immigration screening standards.

• Legal employment period: 4 years or more of work experience within the past 10 years. Passed the requirements without difficulty.
• Income criteria: Confirmed to exceed 26 million won in average income over the past two years, including overtime pay, etc.
• Language Proficiency: Pre-acquisition of the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) Level 2 certification (deferral possible)
• Securing Bonus Points: Build a stable passing score by combining your CEO's active employment recommendation, long-term employment, and manufacturing experience.

3. Step-by-step document preparation and risk management: We proactively prevented errors in income calculations, incorrect residency gaps, and expired language proficiency scores—the most common causes of job rejection in field practice. We systematically collected the worker's home country documents and the company's financial and employment documents. We also proactively prepared and submitted payroll ledgers and financial statements in anticipation of additional guidance during the review process.
4. Successful Results and Expected Benefits: After meticulous preparation, the employee obtained long-term residency. Company A completely eliminated the burden of frequent administrative burdens and the risk of workforce turnover. Employees also enjoyed job security and the opportunity to invite family members, significantly increasing their engagement, which in turn led to increased productivity across the organization. Changing a foreign visa is not simply a matter of filing paperwork; it's a key personnel strategy that maintains a company's competitiveness.
