Q: If mid-level technical workers are permitted to switch to another employer, could they apply for registration of the change in employment at public employment service institutions?

Answer:

On November 20, 2024, the Ministry of Labor revised the “Employment Transfer Regulations” to optimize the transfer registration system. As a result, when the ministry approves an application by a foreign worker to transfer employers, the information is automatically posted in the Foreign Worker Employer Transfer section of the Foreign National Labor Rights Portal. Intermediate skilled workers are not required to register the transfer with a public employment services agency.
