[THE INVESTOR] The government will overhaul foreign worker polices by the end of the year to attract highly trained foreign talent, while suppressing the influx of untrained workers, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance said on June 28.

As part of the measures, the government plans to introduce a special program exempting visa requirements for highly trained foreign workers.

At present, foreign professional need graduate degrees, or have a bachelor’s degree with a year or more experience, or have five or more professional experiences.

Regarding foreign workers without professional skills, the ministry said it will tighten measures that increase the burden on businesses that hire such individuals in an effort to curb the influx of unskilled laborers.
