해외 우수인재 유치관련 구직비자 D-10비자 제도 개선
법무부는 오는 10월 1일부터 해외인재 발굴에 어려움을 겪고 있는 국내 중소기업, 벤처기업 등을 지원하기 위해 ‘외국인 점수제 구직비자 (D-10비자)제도’를 도입, 시행합니다.
D-10비자는 국내 전문 직종에 취업하고자 하는 외국인 우수인재에게 일정기간 동안 구직활동을 허용하는 제도입니다.
기존 구직비자제도는 세계500대 기업 근무자, 세계 200대 대학 졸업자 등 그 요건이 까다로워 해당 비자의 신청 자격이 한정되었습니다.
이에 구직비자인 D-10비자는 점수제를 도입하여, 연령, 학력, 국내외 근무경력, 유학경험, 한국어능력 등의 항목을 점수로 객관화하여 우수인재 대상자 범위를 확대하였습니다.
혼란을 방지하기 위해 올 해까지 점수제 구직비자제도와 현행 구직비자 제도를 병행하여 시행하고, 내년 1월 1일부터는 새롭게 변경된 점수제 구직비자로 통합됩니다.
신청조건은 총 180점 중 기본항목 점수가 20점 이상으로 총 득점이 60점 이상이면 신청이 가능합니다.
