What to check when preparing for D-10 or employment transition after graduation
Prepare the facts and official questions needed when considering a stay or work transition after graduation.
This guide does not decide an individual's eligibility for D-10 or an employment-related immigration-status transition. Before applying or signing, confirm the current guidance for your circumstances with the immigration authority and, where relevant, the responsible university.
What this guide covers
This guide organizes a verification sequence for considering D-10 or an employment-related immigration-status transition after graduation. It does not apply approval prospects or permission to work to an individual case.
Check current official routes
Use the Study in Korea foreigner-employment-system and residence guidance as starting points. Before acting, recheck the current official text for timing, required material, applicable scope, and later changes.
Confirm a transition plan with individual facts
Separate the facts about current immigration status, graduation or completion, planned activity, and proposed employment, then confirm them with the immigration authority and, where relevant, the responsible university. Uni News Korea does not receive personal documents or decide a transition result.
Review the employment contract before signing
After confirming the immigration and work-permission boundary through official routes, separately review the actual employment contract for wages, working hours, holidays, leave, workplace, and duties. The linked LaborMap guidance does not decide an immigration-status transition.
Related LaborMap guidance
