Can I change employers after my contract expires? According to regulations from the Ministry of Labor, employers must confirm their intentions 2 to 4 months before a migrant worker’s contract expires. If the migrant worker wishes to transfer to a new employer upon the expiration of the contract, they must submit an application to the Ministry of Labor. After the application is submitted, the system will automatically transmit the migrant worker’s information to the “Migrant Worker Employer Transfer Section – Foreigner Labor Rights Portal” for registration and announcement, making it available for inquiry.
Public employment service institutions will facilitate matchmaking through the system and hold regular coordination meetings. Migrant workers can match by attending these coordination meetings (absence without a valid reason will be deemed as forfeiting the transfer, and the worker must leave the country within a specified time limit). If a new employer holding a Recruitment Permit is found, the new employer, the original employer, and the migrant worker can sign a “Tripartite Agreement,” or the new employer and the migrant worker can sign a “Bilateral Agreement” to continue employment. In principle, the transfer must be completed within 60 days.
