To work part-time in Korea, overseas students on a student visa must apply to the immigration agency for permission to engage in specified extracurricular activities. It is not possible to apply for it until after 6 months of study in a language course. It is required to obtain official authorisation from your school in order to apply for a work permit. Students with a permission are permitted to work up to 20 hours per week (30 hours per week on postgraduate programs). Students with a TOPIK level of 3 or higher have an easier chance obtaining work and can work whenever they want during the school holidays. Working in stores and restaurants is the most frequent part-time job, however these jobs can be difficult to come by if you don't understand Korean well. For a modest profession such as waiter or cashier, hourly pay range from 9000 to 10,000 won (about Rs640 USD). Tutoring or teaching English pays more and is popular among overseas students. The hourly wage is between 25,000 and 40,000 won (Rs 1578 - Rs 2523). It should be noted that some jobs are not permitted on a student visa; for example, you are not permitted to work in the manufacturing business. International students can request a form titled "Part-Time Work of Foreign Students Confirmation Form" from their university officials or their faculty advisors. The student must next present the signed document to a nearby immigration office, where they will be granted authorization. This authorization allows the student to work part-time in any Korean establishment, both internally and externally. Finding part-time work is not always straightforward, but it is tremendously satisfying because the compensation is so good. Learning the dialect is one of the simplest ways to get a job in Korea, especially if you live outside of the major cities and districts. Many of the part-time jobs available require communication or verbal exchange with native speakers, and employers look for people who have a higher level of Korean language proficiency than the average. International students can also work part-time in the entertainment business; Korea has a thriving entertainment industry for foreigners, which includes pro athletes, actors, and TV and internet stars. These positions are granted on the basis of a suggestion or a relationship and need some level of Korean expertise.
