maraming salamat po.

kabayan,
kailan po na-changed yung E-8 visa status nyo to E-9 (EPS)?

as far as I know, hindi po kasali sa counting of sojourn period under E-9 ang stay in Korea under E-8... so after 3-yrs of sojourn under E-9, you can still be rehired by your current employer for another 3-yrs unless hindi pa po ma-approve ang additional 2-yrs sojourn... granting ma-approve na before your 3-yrs sojourn will expire, you can still continuously stay in Korea for additional 2-yrs...

for further confirmation you may call Ministry of Labor @ 031-345-5000 #7 (english representative)

thank you.

hi oliva,

have confirmed from Minsitry of Labor that under old policy, whether your visa is under E-8 or E-9 category upon entering to Korea, you're only allowed to work for a total of 6-years (3yrs + 3 yrs)... after 6-years, you cannot be rehired anymore... but you can still apply back to Korea under E-9 after 6-months of stay in the Phil. under normal process...

1) take and pass KLT exam
2) if passed, your name will be included in the centralized job roster list
3) wait until an employer hires you

hope my asnwer would help...

thank you...

depende po yan sa total number of Korean workers according to ratio and proportion policy... ang Ministry if Labor lang po ang pwede magdecide dyan... if the Ministry of Labor approves the employers application to hire more foreign workers, then it should not be a problem at all...
