A card from the Ministry of Employment and Labor that pays for job training. For 5 years from issue, you get up to 3 million won (5 million in some cases) in training fees. Only certain foreigners are eligible.

📌 Key points

Foreigners who can get it (Operating Regulations Art. 4, in force 11 May 2026): (1) marriage immigrants (2) refugees recommended by the Minister of Justice for job training (3) F-5, some F-2, F-6 and D-7–D-9 holders who are or were insured under employment insurance (4) foreign workers (E-9, H-2) insured under employment insurance. Overseas Koreans (F-4) are not on this list. Ask 1350 or a job centre whether you qualify.

🔢 Do these in order

  1. Apply on Work24 (website or app), or at the job centre for where you live or work. Bring your residence card.
  2. You are told within 7 days of applying whether you are approved. If approved, the card is issued as a credit or debit card by a partner card company.
  3. Choose a training course on Work24 and pay with the card. It can be used for 5 years from issue; after that, any remaining balance disappears.
