Abstract
At the end of 2012, there were 1,445,000 foreigners from 199 different countries staying in South Korea (hereafter Korea). There are many different types of stayers in Korea — less- and highly skilled migrant workers, international marriage migrants, overseas ethnic-Korean visa-holders and permanent residents (see Seol, 2014). The number of immigrants by visa status in Korea is determined by demand in the host country’s labour and marriage markets, by Korean citizens’ attitude towards immigration and by the Korean government’s policy on immigration.
