The city of Busan has been selected as the nation’s only metropolitan city to pilot the Justice Ministry’s localized visa project.
The city of Busan will issue F-2 resident visas for exceptional local talents to outstanding international students who graduate from universities in Busan and hire them at local companies.
The city will establish a cooperative system with local universities, the justice ministry and the Busan Immigration Office and focus the project on districts with population decreases such as Yeongdo, Dong-gu, and Seo-gu.
A city official said the project is expected to help resolve manpower shortages in shipbuilding, tourism, and service industries.
