3 to 4,000 Foreign laborers can enter per month starting Jan.
The entrance of foreign laborers is
returning to normal after a prolonged period of delayed entrance since April 2020
due to COVID19 transmission.
Therefore, the labor shortage for
small and medium businesses is expected to be relieved.
This is as the government decided to normalize
E-9 visa holder or foreign laborers' entrance with carefully followed preventative
measures before and after entrance back in Nov. last year.
As a result of such a decision, there
were some 2,500 foreign laborers who entered last month, which is a significant
rise compared to some 700 people that have entered every month since the
COVID19 pandemic.
Also, it is forecast that some 3,000
to 4,000 foreign laborers will be entering the country per month starting this
year with 16 countries permitted for entrance.
