Khasan Juraev's real path from student to professional to community builder in South Korea.
This page documents the proof behind HaksengUz: the visa journey, job search, workplace adaptation, community meetups, partnerships, and the Youth Impact volunteer project.
Founder & CEO
From D-2 student visa to F-2-7 residency, Khasan built HaksengUz from the exact struggle thousands of foreign students face in Korea.
HaksengUz is not built from theory. It is built from one complete foreign talent journey: arrival, adaptation, job search, visas, employment, residency, and community leadership.
Came to Korea in 2019 as a Computer Engineering student, graduated from Gachon University in 2023, and started a full-time software engineering role immediately after graduation.
Progressed through D-2 Student, D-10 Job Seeker, E-7 Skilled Worker, and F-2-7 Points-Based Residency. This path is what many foreign students struggle to achieve.
Invited as a guest speaker by Seoul Global Center and SeoulTech, with partnerships and collaboration across public and community organizations.
Organized a volunteer mentorship project helping foreigners define goals, build career roadmaps, improve resumes and cover letters, practice interviews, and transition into Korean society.
Every step, every struggle, every win.
I arrived at Incheon Airport in 2019 to study Computer Engineering at Gachon University. I had no strong Korean network, limited understanding of the system, and no clear roadmap for what came next.
Student life meant adapting to Korean academic culture, handling bureaucracy, renewing visas, learning how to ask for help, and building confidence while far from home.
I realized community was the missing piece. I started attending foreign talent events, learning from people ahead of me, and then organizing meetups through HaksengUz.
I graduated from Gachon University with a Computer Engineering degree in 2023. The D-10 job seeker visa clock was running, and I had to quickly decode Korean resumes, interviews, HR culture, and job search expectations.
Immigration rules are hard to understand when your future depends on them. D-10 deadlines, E-7 eligibility, document lists, company requirements, and uncertainty made this one of the most stressful chapters.
I started full-time work immediately after graduation and received the E-7 skilled worker visa. That transition proved that the path was possible, but also showed how much guidance foreign students need before they reach that point.
Getting the job was not the end. Korean work culture brought hierarchy, fast execution, indirect communication, workplace manners, and many unspoken rules that took time to understand.
I achieved the F-2-7 Points-Based Residency visa after building enough points through education, income, language, professional integration, and contribution. For foreign professionals, this is one of the clearest proofs of long-term integration in Korea.
Today, HaksengUz turns that lived experience into a structured support system for foreign talent: mentorship, community, career direction, visa awareness, and institutional collaboration.

Information is everywhere, but foreign students need structure, accountability, and guidance from people who have successfully walked the path.
Foreign students face unclear career direction, complex visa and employment systems, weak networks, and fear after graduation.
People do not need more random content. They need a proven path, personal accountability, and guidance from someone who succeeded.
HaksengUz provides career roadmaps, visa and career strategy, professional mentorship, and community accountability.
To become the number one platform helping foreign talent move from confusion to clarity, isolation to network, and student to professional.
If I navigated it, you can too with the right guidance.
