One of the benefits of working
with us is that we will assist
you in the visa issuance process.
The process differs depending
on whether you will be employed
to teach in Korea by a private
or public school, but it usually
takes 10–20 business
days. You are responsible
for the cost of producing
the documents listed below
and sending these documents
to us.
- University degree (Notarized
degrees are also accepted.
However, you will need to
have it officially notarized
by the Korean Consulate
in your region. We advise
sending your original degree
when possible, as some schools
will not pay for your airfare
up front if you send a notarized
copy.)
- Two sets of officially
sealed transcripts (The
official University seal
must be stamped across the
envelope seal. If it is
somewhere else on the envelope,
it will not be accepted.)
- Signed and dated employment

(Photos must be in color
and date stamped if possible—delete
the red.)
- Photocopy of your passport

will give you specific instructions
on obtaining this.)
