For the record, here is EXACTLY what you need to get your E2 visa to allow you to teach English in Korea. This visa requirement information is copied and pasted directly from an email from my recruiter. We are in the process of getting my visa information together.
Visa documents
- Original university Diploma, which will be returned after visa processing (or notarized copy from the Korean Consulate ONLY)
- 1 set University Official Transcript (Must be sealed and stamped or have signature along the seal line view example photos attached)
- 4 passport size Photos
- A Photocopy of the front pages of your passport (pages with photo & signature)
- A copy of Resume
- Signed Contract
- Health Statement attached(fill out the form and sign it)
- Criminal background check notarized from Korean consulate or Embassy.
*** THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. The criminal background check MUST BE NOTARIZED by first a lawyer, AND THEN the Korean consulate. That's right, you have to either make a trip or mail it to them so they can be sure it's real. THEN you send your stuff to the school in Korea, which sends it to immigration in Korea.
There it is folks. Anything anyone tells you different than this is BS. You don't need a drug screening test, an HIV/infectious diseases test, or anything else of the sort before you leave for Korea. The only health info you need is from the health statement that you fill out and sign.
Here is a copy of the E2 health statement that I will fill out for my visa application:
I will also be required to submit my university transcripts. They have to be sealed and stamped or have a signature along the seal line. My recruiter has included a picture of what it should look like:
So. That's it. She says I should be in Seoul in the middle of July. I am going to ask her if I can refer people to her, because she has been absolutely awesome.
The name of the company who has arranged all of this for me is SeoulESL.
I couldn't be happier with their service.
