Under the Employment Permit System (EPS), the South Korean government has agreed to eliminate visa limitations on foreign workers (E-9 visa category), allowing Pakistani labourers to enter the country.
President of the Republic of Korea’s Human Resource Development Department, Uh Soo-bong, informed Pakistan Ambassador to the Republic of Korea (ROK), Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, that the Korean government has agreed to abolish the visa limitation for E-9 workers under the Employment Permit System (EPS).
The wellbeing of Pakistani E-9 workers and the future of the EPS system were discussed extensively during the discussion.
Official sources told state-owned APP that this step will open the road for Pakistani EPS workers to arrive in the Republic of Korea.
