South Korea Extends Amnesty for Kazakh Workers Until February 2026
Kazakhstan and South Korea have agreed to extend a voluntary departure program for Kazakh citizens who worked illegally in South Korea. The new rules allow affected individuals to leave without penalties between December 2025 and February 2026.
The program follows an agreement between the two countries’ ministries. It applies only to those who entered South Korea legally but later violated immigration rules. People with criminal records, deportation orders, or illegal status after December 1, 2025, are excluded.
The extended program offers a temporary window for Kazakh nationals to leave South Korea without fines or re-entry restrictions. Those who meet the criteria can depart between December 2025 and February 2026. Officials continue to stress the importance of legal migration to avoid penalties.
