The growth came as the government expanded the quota for non-professional employment visas (E-9) for foreign workers and eased rules on employment of overseas Koreans, according to agency officials. Some 21 percent of the foreign entrants last year came here for a short-term stay, followed by 17.3 percent for study and other training programs and 12.1 percent for marriage and permanent residency.
