Requirements can change by nationality, local immigration office, and filing channel. Confirm exact requirements with HiKorea, the responsible Korean consulate, or a licensed immigration specialist before filing.
Official manual cautions
These cautions come from the site's Korean immigration manual references and source-attribution notes. Treat them as filing-control checks before relying on any general checklist.

Documents
Align EPS testing, roster selection, employment contract, medical, passport, and pre-departure records before the visa stage.
Check that the Korean employer, sector, and worksite match the EPS placement record.
Keep Indonesian-side deployment paperwork separate from private-agent promises or unofficial job documents.
Prepare for ARC registration and workplace reporting after arrival, because E-9 status remains employer-linked.

Document authentication
Use this as a preparation map before filing. Authentication, apostille, consular confirmation, translation, and original-document rules can change by document type, consulate, and receiving Korean office.
Indonesian EPS-stage documents should be kept separate from private-agent paperwork and checked against official employer matching before filing.
Indonesian identity, medical, and contract records may need consistent translation or Korean-side transcription across the EPS chain.
Check passport details, EPS record, sector, employer, and worksite before departure documents are finalized.
Do not assume a verbal job offer is enough for E-9; verify the official EPS placement first.
E-9 document note
For E-9, keep official EPS records, passport details, medical/training records, and employment-contract data consistent with the final deployment file.
Primary source checks before relying on this page
Risk review
Visa-manual risk themes for E-9
The case is outside the EPS channel
E-9 is not a direct private job-offer visa. Applications that bypass EPS matching, sending-agency rules, or official employer procedures are high risk.
Sector or worksite does not match E-9 permission
Changing to work outside the permitted industry, employer, or worksite can create status-violation problems.
Employer compliance problems affect the worker
Wage arrears, illegal hiring, poor housing, or other employer violations can disrupt extensions, workplace changes, or future status moves.
Use these checks before committing to documents, appointments, or employer/school timelines. If a nearby route fits better, open the comparison before filing.
Start with the current page, compare adjacent routes, then use the checklist only after the route is stable.
Timeline
Verify the official EPS placement before preparing final departure documents.
Do not assume a verbal job offer is enough for E-9 filing.
After entry, confirm when ARC registration and workplace reporting must be completed.
Filing readiness audit
Work through this before you rely on the checklist alone. A complete document list does not help if the route, timing, or sponsor facts are wrong.
Ready after the audit?
Move to the full checklist only after the route, documents, risks, and timeline all look consistent.
Common filing mistakes
E-9 is not a normal private direct-hire visa. Official EPS testing, selection, employer matching, and deployment instructions need to line up.
Recruiter shortcuts are high risk. Verify payment requests and instructions against the official EPS or responsible local deployment channel.
The employer, sector, worksite, and contract should match the official EPS placement record before visa or departure steps proceed.
Medical, training, contract, and pre-departure records can delay the case even after selection or matching.
E-9 is employer-linked. Starting at a different employer or worksite without the correct reporting or transfer process can create status violations.
Compare this route
E-9 is the EPS entry route. E-7-4 is a later skilled-worker transition for eligible long-term workers with the right score and employer support.
Compare E-9 and E-7-4A private professional job offer usually points away from E-9 and toward an employer-sponsored skilled-worker route.
Review E-7 skilled workH-2 is an overseas-Korean working-visit route. E-9 is EPS-based and does not depend on Korean ancestry.
Review H-2 routeFAQ
Generally no. E-9 is tied to the Employment Permit System, so official EPS testing, selection, employer matching, and deployment-stage rules matter more than a private job promise.
Verify that the process is connected to the official EPS route, that the employer and worksite match official records, and that any payment or instruction is allowed by the responsible channel.
No. E-9 is employer-linked. Transfers are limited and should be handled through the proper workplace-change process before starting at a different employer or worksite.
EPS records, passport details, medical checks, training records, employment-contract data, and employer or worksite mismatches can all delay the final visa or departure stage.
