Q&A regarding granting residency status to unregistered foreign children

From February 1, 2022 to March 31, 2025 , to guarantee the right to education of unregistered children staying in the country for a long period of time We are implementing a policy that grants residency status to children and parents eligible for relief . As a result, the child can attend high school with a D-4 ( general training ) residence status, and even after graduation, if he or she meets the requirements for studying abroad or employment, he or she can change his or her residence status . In addition, when parents pay the fine, they can work for their minor children through temporary residence status (G-1) and permission to engage in activities other than their residence status until they graduate from high school or become adults ( age 19 ) . However , once a child graduates from high school or becomes an adult, he or she must voluntarily leave the country within one year . There are many related inquiries , and we will guide you through a few of them .
