    Uzbekistan to send 100,000 citizens to work in South Korea

    The Ministry of Employment and Poverty Reduction of the Republic of Uzbekistan plans to send 100,000 Uzbek citizens to work in South Korea, Kursiv reported. This strategic move aims to address labour shortages and foster economic cooperation between the two nations.

    Key details:

    • Enterprises: Approximately 22,200 Uzbeks will be dispatched to various enterprises in South Korea.
    • Service Sector: A contingent of 5,400 individuals, predominantly women, will contribute to the service sector.
    • Agriculture: 6,800 Uzbek workers will participate in agricultural activities.
    • Construction Industry: The construction sector will receive 2,800 skilled labourers.

    Language preparation

    Candidates interested in these employment opportunities will undergo Korean language courses to facilitate successful integration into the Korean workforce. These courses will be conducted at Ishga Marhamat mono-centres across all regions of Uzbekistan.

    South Korea’s expanding quotas

    In 2024, South Korean authorities plan to accept 165,000 foreigners on E-9 work visas. This represents a significant 37.5% increase compared to the previous year (2023). The expanded quotas aim to alleviate labour shortages in specific sectors of the South Korean economy.

    Uzbekistan’s immigration scenario

    Uzbekistan has been prominently featured in South Korea’s immigration landscape. Notably, the D-4 visa, primarily granted to foreign citizens studying Korean, has seen significant activity:

    • As of June 2023, 64,900 foreigners received permission to enter South Korea on D-4 visas.
    • Among them, 22,700 Vietnamese individuals remained in the country illegally.
    • Additionally, approximately 1,000 citizens of Uzbekistan and 820 representatives from Mongolia also became unauthorized immigrants.

    The collaboration between Uzbekistan and South Korea promises to enhance bilateral ties while addressing critical labour needs.
