北村は観光地ではなく、人が暮らす住宅街だ。2025年3月から北村路11キル一帯は午前10時から午後5時までしか訪問できず、それ以外の時間に写真を撮ると過料10万ウォンが科される。外国人にも韓国人と同じように適用される。どこが対象で、何が取り締まりの対象になり、では代わりにどこを歩けばいいのかをまとめた。

Non-professional employment (비전문취업) E-9 is defined by exclusion — item 21 of attached Table 1-2 to the Enforcement Decree of the Immigration Act (출입국관리법 시행령 [별표 1의2]) covers anyone meeting the domestic employment requirements under the Act on the Employment of Foreign Workers (외국인근로자의 고용 등에 관한 법률), except those going into professional occupations. Employment activity runs 3 years from entry, extendable only once by less than 2 years — administered as 1 year 10 months, making 4 years 10 months — and one re-entry under the committed-worker re-entry special provision (성실근로자 재입국 취업 특례) takes the ceiling to 9 years 8 months. Changing workplace needs immigration's permission on statutory grounds, with an application required within 1 month of the contract ending and permission required within 3 months of filing. There is no dependent visa.

EPS-TOPIK is the Korean-language proficiency test HRD Korea (한국산업인력공단) has administered since August 2005 to rank candidates for inclusion in the foreign jobseeker roster (외국인구직자 명부). It is a different exam from the TOPIK administered by the National Institute for International Education (국립국제교육원), and it awards no proficiency level, only a score. The paper is 40 questions, 100 points, 50 minutes, delivered by CBT or UBT. The sector minimums are 60 for manufacturing, 45 for the other sectors and 30 Pass/Fail for the special fisheries track (어업특례) — and clearing one does not make you a passer, because the assessment is norm-referenced and a second exam, the skills test and job-capacity assessment (기능시험 및 직무능력평가), is compulsory.

空港鉄道A'REXは、仁川空港とソウル駅の間に二種類の列車を走らせています。直通列車(직통열차)は第1ターミナルから43分・13,000ウォンですが、乗車券を別途買う必要があり、交通カードのタッチでは乗れません。一般列車(일반열차)は59分・4,750ウォンで、交通カードがそのまま使えます。よく見かける「外国人割引」は直通列車には存在しません。数字はすべて2026年8月時点のものです。

The minimum wage in Korea is ₩10,320 an hour from 1 January to 31 December 2026. The government's own monthly equivalent is ₩2,156,880 — gross, before deductions, built on 209 hours. It applies to every workplace with no exemption for industry or size, and to an E-9 worker on the same terms as anyone else. Below: where 209 comes from, what legally comes off your pay, and what your payslip has to show you.

Industrial-accident insurance is funded entirely by the employer, so a line for it in your deductions is unlawful. Employment insurance has been mandatory for E-9 workers since the phase-in completed, and still deducts nothing unless you have opted into unemployment benefit at 0.9%. The National Pension is deducted for workers from the Philippines, China, Vietnam and Indonesia among others, and not at all for workers from Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Timor-Leste — but the E-9 visa is itself a qualifying route for the lump-sum refund, so nationality decides enrolment, not the refund. And departure guarantee insurance, at 8.3% of the ordinary wage on your Employment Permit, is a floor under your severance rather than the whole of it: where the lump sum falls short, the employer owes the difference.

Work one year or more at the same workplace in Korea, with scheduled hours averaging 15 or more a week, and you are owed statutory severance pay: at least 30 days' average wage for every year of continuous service. The worked example below puts the 2026 monthly minimum wage of ₩2,156,880 through the Ministry of Employment and Labor formula and returns a figure near ₩2.1 million for one year. Nationality is not one of the conditions. The money is due within 14 days of your retirement date, and you have three years to claim it.
