Many of these individuals work toward gaining E7 visa status, which allows them to invite their family members to legally stay with them, thus expanding their rights of residence. However, migrant workers whose visas have expired or who have entered ROK on a tourist visa are not eligible for the rights. Furthermore, there are various levels of accessibility among migrant workers depending on their resident status, further separating within the minority group, resulting in a polarized spectrum with denizens and margizens at either end.
