📅 CHECK THESE DATES

🔴 වැදගත්

💼 37. Future Employment Plans After D-2-8

D-2-8 යනු study status එකක් මිස automatic full-time employment visa එකක් නොවේ. Study අවසන් වී Korea හි work කිරීමට අවශ්‍ය නම්, intended employment සඳහා appropriate status එකක් identify කළ යුතුය.

Possible pathway depends on:

qualification

degree / academic background

job type

employer

salary

immigration category

current eligibility rules

Possible statuses may include employment-related categories only where the applicant actually qualifies. Do NOT promise:

❌ automatic D-10

❌ automatic E-7

❌ automatic work visa

❌ automatic PR

❌ automatic status change inside Korea

🏆 GOLDEN RULE

JOB OFFER ≠ WORK VISA APPROVAL

Employment can begin only when the applicable immigration/work authorization requirements are satisfied.

🏛️ 38. Where to Get Official Immigration Help

Students should prioritize official sources:

🏛️ HiKorea

Online immigration information, reservations and supported applications/services.

🏛️ Korea Immigration Service

Official immigration administration and decisions.

📞 Immigration Contact Center 1345

Immigration information and guidance in Korea.

🏫 University International Office

Enrollment, academic and university-side documentation.

🇰🇷 Korean Embassy/Consulate

Visa application matters handled outside Korea.

🔎 Roles explained:

HiKorea: Online immigration information, reservations and supported applications/services.

1345: Immigration information and guidance in Korea.

University International Office: Enrollment, academic and university-side documentation.

Embassy/Consulate: Visa application matters handled outside Korea.

⚠️ Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, KakaoTalk groups, agents සහ friends useful experiences ලබා දිය හැකි වුවත්, ඒවා current official rules වලට replacement නොවේ.

🛡️ 39. Immigration Scam / Fake Agent Protection

පහත warning signs ගැන පරිස්සම් වන්න:

❌ "100% visa guarantee"

❌ "Immigration officer connection"

❌ "No documents needed"

❌ fake COA / enrollment certificate

❌ fake bank statement

❌ cash-only unexplained payment

❌ request for passport/password/account credentials

❌ promise to erase immigration history

❌ fake HiKorea screenshots

❌ unofficial payment links

✅ SAFE CHECK

☐ Verify organization

🚨 RED WARNING

“Agent එක කළේ” කියන එක false information submit කිරීමේ risk එක නැති කරන්නේ නැහැ. Applicant must know what is being submitted in their name.
