📢 Notice on the implementation of the second joint government crackdown on illegal foreign residents in 2024 and the operation of the special voluntary departure period The Ministry of Justice will strictly deal with the issue of illegal stay and implement the second joint government crackdown in 2024 to protect the safety and livelihood of the people. This crackdown will focus on cracking down on illegal acts that pose a threat to the people and the issue of illegal stay of foreigners, while providing exemption from entry regulations and fines for illegal foreigners who voluntarily leave the country during the voluntary departure period, thereby helping more foreigners to stay legally. 📅 Crackdown period Monday, September 30, 2024 - Saturday, November 30, 2024 (2 months) 👥 Participating ministries 5 ministries including Ministry of Justice, National Police Agency, Ministry of Employment and Labor, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Korea Coast Guard 🔍 Focused areas of enforcement Crimes committed by illegal aliens, including drug use Industries that undermine national jobs, such as delivery services Working in the entertainment industry Illegal entry and employment brokerage activities This joint government crackdown will focus on cracking down on not only illegal stays but also crimes related to foreigners that threaten the safety of citizens or hinder the livelihood of citizens. In addition to strict measures against various immigration crimes, we plan to contribute to the establishment of law and order through measures such as forced deportation and entry bans. 🔈 Voluntary departure recommended Special benefits are provided to illegal aliens who leave the country during the voluntary departure period, including exemption from fines and entry restrictions. Through this opportunity, we plan to provide guidance on how illegal aliens can voluntarily leave the country and re-enter through legal procedures. The government is taking a thorough approach to solving the problem of illegal stay and is encouraging voluntary departure from the country ahead of crackdowns. This will give you the opportunity to leave the country without legal problems and later re-enter legally.

👉 Minimum wage The Republic of Korea has a minimum wage system to guarantee a minimum level of wages for workers, ensure living stability, improve the quality of the workforce, and promote the sound development of the national economy. This also applies equally to foreigners working in Korea. 📍 The minimum wage in 2024 is 9,860 won (2.5% increase from the previous year) Based on 40 hours of work per week and 209 hours per month, approximately 2,060,740 won per month 👉 Holiday allowance Workers who work more than 15 hours a week are given one day off per week, during which they are entitled to holiday pay. This is equivalent to 120% of the minimum wage and is calculated as 'daily regular working hours X hourly wage'. Salaried workers receive holiday pay included in their monthly salary, while hourly workers receive it when they work more than 15 hours a week. ex) If you work 8 hours a day for 5 days a week, you will receive an additional daily wage of 8 hours X (hourly wage) 9,860 won = 78,880 won as holiday pay. 📍 The hourly wage including holiday pay in 2024 is 11,832 won 👉 Night shift allowance This applies only to workplaces with 5 or more employees, and is an additional 50% of the regular wage when working from 10 PM to 6 AM. ex) If you worked 5 hours at night, you will receive an additional 24,650 won, which is 50% of 5 hours X (hourly wage) 9,860 won = 49,300 won.

The Ministry of Justice has been operating the 'Social Integration Program' education with government funds since 2009 to support foreigners' adaptation to Korean society and independence, and had foreigners only pay for textbooks and evaluation fees. However, due to the rapid increase in the number of foreign residents/education participants, the Ministry of Justice is pushing forward with a plan to partially charge tuition only for repeat students. *reference Foreign residents (2020) 2,036,075 → (end of June 2023) 2,411,277 Education participants ('20) 36,620 → ('23) 60,000 Considering the public interest nature of social integration education for foreigners in our society as a whole, we plan to minimize side effects such as a decrease in participants by implementing stage-by-stage and target-based fees rather than full-scale fees. The funds raised through fee-based fees will be reinvested in improving the educational environment and quality of education, and will be used to improve and enhance the learning convenience of potential participants. (However, education fees will be exempted for socially disadvantaged groups such as the disabled, refugees, and those who require policy preferential treatment such as multi-child marriage immigrants.) 📢 Official press release from the Ministry of Justice
