A person in charge of a language school said that people have to queue since at 6:00 pm as many candidates came to pay the application fees at the government foreign job agency for the Korean language fluency test (EPS-TOPIK).
“People started to queue at 6:00 pm and there are around 1,000 people at 7:00 pm. They started to queue at 8:00 am yesterday and the crowd just arrived in front of the office at 8:00 am. They queue at 6:00 today to take the test,” said a person in charge from a Korean language school.
They queued since 8:00 PM to pay the registration fee on March 20th, and since 6:00 PM on March 21st.
On March 19, more than 7,000 people queued up to pay since 4:00 am when women's exam registration fees were accepted for service jobs.
"They don’t set a limit yesterday and today so the people who queued are exhausted. The office would accept until the end of the rainy season. There are just over 2,500 people for tomorrow. I don't think tomorrow's batch will be too tired," said one person who will pay the registration fee.
The examination registration fees must be paid from March 19th to April 5th. Women who will work at any service jobs have to pay on March 19th. And nearly 2,000 people were accepted for service work, manufacturing, construction, agriculture and livestock and all men who applied service work are accepted. On March 21, more than 2,500 people will be accepted for manufacturing, construction, agriculture and livestock.
Candidate must pay 28 US dollars for the exam fees, and those who will pay in kyats will have to pay 106,400 kyats at the rate of 3,800 kyats per dollar, said one of the applicants. Currently, there are 75,000 applicants for the exam.
