South Korea will establish a work permit center in Tajikistan

The authorities of Tajikistan have proposed to simplify the process of obtaining work permits in Korea for Tajik citizens.

According to official sources, on November 5, 2024, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan Sodik Imomi met with the Vice President for Foreign Workforce and Global Employment of the Human Resources Development Service of South Korea, Lim Seung-mook.

The meeting reportedly took place in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. The Tajik side expressed interest in sending workers from Tajikistan to Korea for employment. To this end, it was proposed to create a special system that would facilitate the process of obtaining work permits in Korea for Tajik citizens.

To achieve this, the establishment of a Work Permit System Center in Tajikistan was proposed, which would help improve coordination and interaction between the countries in the field of labor migration.

According to estimates from human rights organizations, the government of Tajikistan under the leadership of Emomali Rahmon is among the most corrupt regimes in the world. Critics of the government claim that the Tajik leadership does not take sufficient measures to create jobs in the country and does not create conditions for the establishment and development of small and medium-sized businesses to promote employment.

It should be noted that South Korea provides significant assistance to Rahmon’s government, helping to strengthen its position in the market.
