“…Companies employing less than 300 regular workers are allowed to hire foreign workers. 2 From the onset, the EPS tried to close the loopholes of the former ITS by excluding agencies from the application process (Hahn & Choi 2006) leaving the Korean government to administer all steps of the application process, from applying in the sending countries to arriving in South Korea (EPS, n.d.). To be eligible for the EPS, prospective migrant workers from the 16 labour-sending countries that have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with South Korea must pass in advance the Test of Proficiency in Korean (EPS-TOPIK), a Korean language examination whose result is valid for two years.…”

This research examines the unskilled labor migration using private intermediaries in South Korea. The study also reviews the Employment Permit System of South Korea in this regard. The empirical study took place in South Korea with a supplementary trip visiting the migration origin, Bangkok, Thailand. A qualitative method was used with the predominant part being a semi-structured interview with Thai undocumented workers in Daegu. This research fills the gap in the existing body of research by uncovering the process of undocumented labor migration in the discourse of culture of migration. The tolerant practice of the Thai Government towards undocumented workers has set an example to prospective Thai migrant workers who follow the undocumented path to go to Korea. The unique fuzzy attitude of some Thais led them to try their luck without a concrete plan to go to work in South Korea on a whim. The informal brokers find their role even they are excluded in the Employment Permit System of South Korea. They actively convey a positive but biased image of an easy path of undocumented labor migration as an alternative to the formal procedure.
