E-7 Costs
Based on 2 official sources.
[1]2026 E-7 wage-requirement standard
The MOJ notice dated 2025-12-29 publishes the 2026 wage-requirement standard for the Specific Activity (E-7) stay status, showing MOJ Public Notice 2025-406 and an attached PDF. It is an official operational basis for E-7 hiring, status-change, and extension checks. Actual amounts, occupation-specific exceptions, and transition rules must still be checked against the original attachment and latest operational guidance, so KARXY should show the source and checked date and route individual cases to administrative-scrivener review.

[2]KIIP for stay permission, permanent residence, and nationality
MOJ KIIP guidance says eligible participants include foreign residents seeking stay statuses such as permanent residence or nationality, and people within three years after acquiring Korean nationality. Benefits include points for stay, permanent-residence, or nationality applications, and possible exemption from the naturalization test. The curriculum includes Korean language and culture levels 0-4 plus Understanding Korean Society; the latter is shown as 70 hours for permanent residence and 100 hours for nationality. Applicants register through Socinet and level placement; the pre-test is handled through the KIIP test site with a 38,000 KRW fee. F-2/F-5, E-7-4, naturalization, and point-based consultations must verify the completion level, pre-test status, and current proof.

How these rules apply can differ with your circumstances, and the final decision rests with the immigration office with jurisdiction. Preparing and filing documents for an individual case is the work of a licensed administrative scrivener.
