Use Korea’s Official Foreign-Worker Workplace Change Application

Korean workplace change application: A Korean workplace change application should begin with confirmation that the worker, status and reason fall within this employment-permit procedure, followed by exact identity, reason and preferred-job details.

Korean workplace change application: This guide explains Form 13 under the foreign-worker employment-permit process. It does not apply to every visa, resignation or job change and does not guarantee permission or a new placement.

Korean workplace change application: What you will finish

You will verify scope and reason, complete identity and contact, select the applicable reason, state industry, duty, region and wage preferences, check documents and save registration proof.

Read the fields, preview the form, download the official original, then open the source page

Official Form 13 is the workplace change application used within the covered foreign-worker employment-permit process. Its two pages collect applicant data, a permitted reason, preferred job conditions, signature, supporting-document and administrative-data consent information, followed by drafting and processing instructions.

How to complete the workplace change application

  1. Applicant: copy the uppercase English name from the passport or foreign registration card, enter the registration or passport number, nationality, Korean address and a phone that remains reachable for job referral.
  2. Reason for change: mark only the applicable category—such as contract expiry, contract termination, a listed shutdown/closure or employment-restriction reason, or injury—and prepare the facts and documents the office requests. The checkbox alone does not prove eligibility.
  3. Preferred work: list up to the form’s available priorities for industry and duty using the KSIC and KECO codes checked with the employment office; state preferred province/city, no regional preference when genuinely applicable, monthly base wage and available period/hours.
  4. Documents, consent and filing: present the passport or registration card; attach a passport copy only when the foreign-registration fact cannot be verified as the form states; choose administrative-data consent knowingly, sign, submit to the competent office, report later changes immediately and keep the receipt/job-seeker registration.

Worked example: a covered worker confirms that a contract-expiry reason applies, copies the passport name and current phone, marks that reason, asks the employment center for correct industry and duty codes, states two preferred regions and a minimum monthly base wage, presents ID, checks whether a passport copy is needed, reads consent, signs and saves the registration record.
