Hello Raj!

Congratulations on your successful posting to South Korea. Hope you will enjoy your time there.

The length of time it takes to receive your work permit will largely depend on the Korean Embassy or Consulate you apply to in your home country. You can only apply for these work visas when abroad and they CANNOT be applied for from within South Korea.

I would suggest contacting your local Korean Embassy or Consulate to be certain of the time frame required.

As a rule of thumb, allow up to 2 weeks.

See visa rules to South Korea for more information.

Good luck with things!
