Scope & exceptions

For registered E-9 workers extending an existing stay in Korea. Employment-period renewal, re-employment, workplace change, special re-entry and changing to E-7-4 are different procedures.

Start with your employer: employment-permit paperwork at the employment center / Work24 and your immigration extension are separate. Do not assume renewing your work contract extends your stay.

Select the arrangement to see which evidence to request. Immigration decides what it accepts.

Ask for your current lease (임대차계약서). Check the address and tenancy period.

Before you submit

  1. Apply before your stay expires. A visit booking only reserves a slot.
  2. Check HiKorea for online submission or a visit. Confirm fees, originals/copies, certificate age and any additional evidence.
  3. Ask 1345 about special cases. Keep your receipt and check the decision.

Official sources, review date & coverage

Checked against the linked official sources on the date above, including HiKorea’s 6 November 2026 manual. A family-level route is not every subtype’s final checklist. Penalties shown are legal maxima for the stated violation, not predicted charges. Official notices and individual immigration instructions take precedence.
