Upgrade your work visa
In the group of technical workers, on an E7 visa (visa for experienced, technical workers), Tran Van Binh, 25 years old, from Nghe An, said he had been working at Hyundai Mipo Korea for more than 1 month. As a domestically trained worker with experience working in this industry, after coming to Korea, Binh only spent 3 days interning at the factory and then officially joining the production line.

Similarly, Nguyen Van Son (from Ha Tinh) went to Korea to work in the same major he studied in Vietnam, so his job was very convenient, even though it had only been a few months. Son commented that conditions in company dormitories are better than in Vietnam.
Le Khanh Hien, from Hai Phong, came here last March to work on electricity at a Mipo company. The young man said that coming to Korea with skills available in Vietnam, any worker can work immediately. For Hien, the difficulty comes from language issues.
Currently, Hien lives in the group's dormitory area for foreigners, 4 people per room, and living conditions are generally adequate. He is satisfied with his job and life in his country.

The "favorite" thing for young male workers is that they get regular overtime here. When needing to mobilize workers, the company will ask for their opinions, and those who agree will work overtime and get higher salaries and bonuses.
General Director of Huyndai Mipo Kim Hyung Kwan informed that this Korean enterprise is in great need of foreign workers and always highly appreciates the capabilities of Vietnamese workers. The company is committed to always taking care of and improving the income of foreign workers and will try to take better care of the lives and benefits of each employee.)
The journey is different from new workers, Pham Van Vu (born in 1996, from Bac Giang) has been working in Korea for more than 6 years, and just joined Huyndai Mipo 1 year ago. Vu started out as an international student, coming to Korea on a D4 visa. To switch to an E7 visa, Vu has gone through a long and persistent journey step by step.
Not all workers are trained in the right profession from the beginning, but Vu has the advantage of being an international student majoring in Korean language. He also shared the same joy as Hien: "The company has a lot of overtime, so workers like me have a salary of 2,5-3 million won/month (equivalent to 50-60 million VND), higher than the basic salary. regulated in Korea.
Without having to pay for accommodation, Vu can spend a lot of money so he is very excited. Overcoming the initial difficulties when he was not used to working at the factory, Vu is now satisfied because the work is moderate, suitable, and not too strenuous. Vu works about 20 hours of overtime a week, and can increase it when needed, but still gives himself 2 full days off on weekends, for going out, climbing mountains, and exercising.
Good human resources return to develop the country
In the group of unskilled workers, on E9 visas and international vocational students, on D4-6 visas, Bui Van Linh (from Nghe An) said that the factory where he worked on ship hulls currently has 7 Vietnamese people. Next, there will be 5 more people coming to study and work, making a total of 12 Vietnamese people, enough to form a strong group.
E9 workers work under a time-controlled contract (currently 4 years and 3 months), so Linh is striving to have her visa upgraded to a technical worker status so she can sponsor her wife and children to come over. The male worker expressed his wish to stay long in Korea.

Bui Van Dai (born in 1998, also from Nghe An) went to Korea with a D4-6 visa. Dai said there are many advantages for interns from learning conditions, accommodation to skills training. Having completed 3 months of language and vocational training, Dai began receiving a trainee salary.
Every week, male workers go to work 3 days, go to school 2 days, have 2 days off on weekends, and receive 1 million won (equivalent to 18-19 million VND) each month. This salary, Dai thinks is suitable for someone like him who studies and works at the same time.
Fellow countryman Le Quoc Viet, born in 1997, came here at the same time as Dai. He had difficulty learning the language, so the training center offered extra classes 3 evenings a week. Vietnam is making more efforts to soon get a work visa.
Le Viet Giap is also an intern with a D4-6 visa. He commented that the learning process felt comfortable, but at first he did not think he would receive so much support. His family in Vietnam also feels secure when their children do not have to worry about food or the cold in a foreign country. After 3 months in Korea, he gained 3kg, Giap said, most of the trainees were like him because they ate well and lived a disciplined life.

He emphasized that workers who go to Korea to work in basic technical industries such as shipbuilding are a good human resource to return to contribute to the country's economic development in the future. Leaders of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs mobilize each individual to obey the law, work discipline, focus on the country, return home on time and have specific plans to jointly maintain a sustainable labor market in Korea.
The Deputy Minister also sent his confidence to the business leaders of his country, in order to take better care of the material and spiritual conditions of Vietnamese workers far from home.
