D-10 Points System Explained
How the D-10 job-seeking visa points system works: the factors scored, the threshold, and practical ways to raise your score.
The D-10 job-seeking visa uses a points system to decide eligibility. Understanding what's scored — and how to raise it — is the key to qualifying. Here's the breakdown.
Want your score estimated? Ask a consultant.
What gets scored
Points come from factors such as:
- Education level,
- Age,
- Korean-language ability (e.g., TOPIK),
- Relevant experience, and other factors.
The threshold
You need to reach a minimum score set by immigration, which is updated periodically. Confirm the current minimum and how each category is weighted before applying.
How to raise your score
- Boost Korean — a higher TOPIK level often adds meaningful points.
- Add qualifications / experience relevant to your field.
- Document everything clearly so nothing is missed.
Why it matters
A stronger score not only qualifies you for the D-10 but also positions you well for the switch to an E-7 once you're hired.
