[Background]

As the "Immigration Act" was amended (Act No. 20992, promulgated on July 22, 2025, and effective from January 23, 2026) to stabilize and systematically manage the Foreign Seasonal Worker Program, including provisions for its introduction, the establishment of the Seasonal Worker Policy Consultative Body, the designation of a Specialized Seasonal Worker Agency, and the prohibition and penalization of illegal recruitment, referral, and employment of seasonal workers—thereby regulating the legal basis for the program's operation and necessary support mechanisms more rationally and clearly—the purpose of this (Enforcement Rule Amendment) is to prescribe matters delegated by the Act.

[Main Points]
