Basic
Principles
We separate the workers into three groups: professionals, semi-professionals,

substitutability of Korean citizens. Also, we are flexible with running
management and introduction standards flexibly by differentiating them.
We will provide a simple convenient visa and residence procedures to foreign
skilled-workers who can make significant contributions to our national
competency since their vocation levels are high, thus, Korean workers are unable
to replace them.
We will find a protective measure for our citizens, such as setting the quotas for
each company, wage requirements, and higher job qualifications, from foreign
skilled-workers who may intrude a job market of Korean citizens with their
substitutability.
