Official routes to check before D-2 or D-4 part-time work
Organize what to ask your university and immigration office before starting part-time work.
This guide does not decide an individual's permission or permitted scope for part-time work. Before acting, confirm the current guidance for your circumstances with the responsible university and immigration authority.
What this guide covers
This guide gives a verification sequence for a person with D-2 or D-4 status who is considering part-time work. It does not apply permission, working-hour, or job-scope rules to an individual case.
Recheck current official guidance
Use the Study in Korea employment-regulations and residence guidance as starting points. Before acting, recheck the latest page content, effective timing, and applicable scope.
Confirm personal circumstances with responsible offices
Organize the relevant immigration status, enrollment status, and proposed-work facts, then confirm them through the responsible university and immigration authority. Do not send a passport, residence card, or personal documents to this guide or to Uni News Korea.
Check employment conditions separately
After confirming the immigration and work-permission boundary through official routes, review the actual employment contract, wages, breaks, weekly holiday pay, overtime, and deductions as separate labor-rights issues. The linked LaborMap guidance does not decide immigration status or work permission.
