Yes, you can work part time in Korea on a D-2 visa, but there are rules, and breaking them can cost you your visa.
The essentials
- You need a part-time work permit after six months of study
- Undergraduates: generally up to 25 hours on weekdays, more with a higher TOPIK level
- Weekends and vacations: extended hours allowed with permission
- Typical jobs: cafes, restaurants, logistics, campus roles
Always register your workplace properly. Your university international office will guide the paperwork.
