Question 1 of 6
How the quiz works
The quiz checks three things that decide most job searches in Korea: what your visa lets you do, how much Korean the job needs, and whether you meet the usual rule for a work visa.
If you need an employer to sponsor you, it checks your education and experience against the general rule for the E-7-1 professional visa. Then it builds a filtered list of live jobs on Seoulstart Jobs, so you see real openings.
The quiz does not ask for your name or email. We count some answers, such as visa type and field, to improve the quiz.
Frequently asked questions
What jobs can foreigners get in Korea?
It depends mostly on your visa. F-5 and F-6 holders, and most F-2 holders, can take most jobs. F-4 holders can take most jobs except the simple manual labor jobs on the Ministry of Justice list. People who need sponsorship usually look at E-7 professional jobs (such as IT, engineering, design, and finance), E-2 English teaching, or E-9 jobs through the Employment Permit System.
Can I get a job in Korea without speaking Korean?
Yes, but fewer jobs are open to you. Jobs at global companies, startups, and in English teaching often work in English. Seoulstart Jobs marks Korea listings where Korean is not required, so you can filter for them.
What do I need for an E-7 work visa?
Under the usual E-7-1 rule, you need a master's degree, a bachelor's degree plus 1 year of related experience, or 5 years of related experience. The job must be on the E-7 occupation list, and the pay must meet the salary floor. Use the E-7 checker for the current numbers.
Can I work part-time on a student visa in Korea?
Yes, with permission from immigration before you start. The allowed hours depend on your program and Korean level. See the guide to part-time work on a student visa.
Is the quiz result a visa decision?
No. It is a general result based on common rules. Immigration decides each application. For your own case, call the Immigration Contact Center at 1345.
