Kazakh citizens who may qualify for Korea's H-2 working-visit route.

Documents
Prepare identity, ancestry, family relationship, name-change, and nationality-history records before deciding between H-2 and F-4.
Check whether the filing channel requires translations, apostille, consular confirmation, or additional family-line proof.
Confirm permitted work scope, employer reporting duties, and any job-registration steps before starting work in Korea.
Keep original ancestry and civil records because later transition to F-4 or F-5 may require the same evidence chain.
Core H-2 checklist preview
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.
Kazakhstani ancestry, identity, and civil records should be checked together before choosing H-2 or F-4.
Kazakh, Russian, Korean, and passport-name variants should be explained consistently in Korean translation.
Family-line, nationality-history, and name-change records must clearly connect the applicant to the claimed overseas-Korean route.
Build the ancestry evidence chain first, then choose H-2 or F-4 based on documents and work plan.
H-2 document note
For H-2, ancestry, identity, work-scope, and post-arrival reporting documents should be checked before choosing H-2 over F-4.
Primary source checks before relying on this page
Risk review
Visa-manual risk themes for H-2
Overseas Korean eligibility is not proven cleanly
Family records, lineage documents, names, translations, and authentication must support the claimed H-2 eligibility route.
Work activity is outside the permitted scope
H-2 does not mean any job is allowed. Restricted industries, unreported work, or activity outside the status can affect extension or future upgrade options.
Transition plan uses the wrong route
Moving from H-2 to F-4, F-5, F-2, or E-7-4 depends on different requirements. A weak upgrade strategy can waste years of records.
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
Build the ancestry evidence chain first, then choose H-2 or F-4 based on eligibility and work plan.
Confirm the filing channel and document authentication route before appointments.
Plan post-arrival work registration and reporting before accepting a job.
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
For overseas-Korean applicants, H-2 and F-4 can lead to different work rights and restrictions. Compare both before filing.
Identity, family relationship, name-change, and nationality-history records should clearly connect the applicant to the qualifying route.
Resolve spelling, birth-date, name-change, and family-record inconsistencies before paying for final translations or authentication.
H-2 holders still need to follow permitted work-scope, workplace, and reporting rules after arrival.
If the long-term goal is F-4, F-5, or another status, keep the documents needed for future transition organized from the beginning.
Compare this route
H-2 is not a normal working holiday. It is tied to overseas-Korean eligibility and has its own work/reporting rules.
Compare H-1 and H-2Many overseas-Korean applicants should compare H-2 with F-4 before filing because work flexibility and document standards differ.
Review F-4 routeE-9 is EPS-based non-professional employment. H-2 is based on overseas-Korean working-visit eligibility.
Review E-9 EPS routeFAQ
Usually no. H-2 depends on a qualifying overseas-Korean working-visit route, so ancestry, identity, nationality-history, and relationship documents are important.
Compare both before filing. F-4 may offer broader flexibility, but H-2 may fit some working-visit cases better depending on ancestry evidence, work plan, and eligibility limits.
No. H-2 holders must follow work-scope, workplace, and reporting rules. Starting work without the required registration or outside the permitted scope can create status problems.
Identity records, family-line proof, name-change documents, translations, authentication, and unclear nationality-history records are common delay points.
