What types of visa will be I eligible for if I get master’s degree in software development ?

Question

 

To whom it may concern,

I currently work as an English teacher in Korea. I plan to work as a software developer in the future so I will start my master’s program(online) at the beginning of next year. Once I graduated from my master’s program in software development, I was wondering if it is possible to work as a developer in Korea. What types of visa will be I eligible for?

Thank you for your time,
M*****

 

 

Answer

 

Dear M*****, 

Thank you for your inquiry. 

 

This is David Lee who is PIC of E-7 and F2-7 Visa. 

 

If you get master’s degree or diploma in the field of software development in Korean university, 

 

you may apply for E-7 Visa or F2-7 Visa. 

 

However, you should be hired by Korean company as software engineer which is a basic requirement.  

 

Many korean companies are looking for IT engineer even if you are a foreigner due to shortage of manpower. 

 

Option 1) Master’s degree holder in Korea can apply for E-7 working visa without related job experience.   

 

Option 2) Master’s degree holder in Korea can apply for F2-7 point based residence visa directly with more than 80 points.   

 

Please contact me anytime if you need any further inquiry.
