South Korea offers the D-2-7 visa for graduates seeking post-study work opportunities. This visa allows students who completed degrees at Korean institutions to stay for job hunting, valid for up to two years. Applicants must secure a job related to their field within six months of switching from a student visa.
Alternatively, the E-7 visa is for those with confirmed employment, requiring employer sponsorship. Graduates in STEM fields may qualify for the F-2-7 residency visa under the ‘Point-Based System,’ which considers factors like academic performance and Korean language proficiency. Always check the latest requirements with the Korea Immigration Service.
