    Among foreign residents who have suffered human rights violations such as "forced prostitution, habitual assault and abuse, and serious crimes," those who are undergoing litigation or other remedial procedures to seek redress are designated as beneficiaries by the "Foreigners' Human Rights Protection and Promotion Council". These designated individuals may obtain a work permit for activities outside their status of residence under the E-7 visa category. In other words, if a foreign resident in Korea applies for legal remedies after suffering from crimes or other human rights violations, they may be granted a change of status of residence to the G-1 visa category. However, if they are designated as beneficiaries by the "Foreigners' Human Rights Protection and Promotion Council" at a local immigration office, they may be granted a work permit under the E-7 visa category. Required documents for this application include an application form, a passport, an alien registration card, fees, proof of litigation or other legal remedies, an employment contract, and a copy of the business registration certificate.
