VISA to stay in South Korea

Most teachers arrive in Korea with an E2 Teaching Visa stamped in their passports.  On ocassion, some teachers arrive on a tourist visa and change this visa with a short visa-run to Japan or a nearby country but this is far less common and far more difficult than it was pre-2010.

  1. E2 VISA - American, Canadian, Australian, South African, New Zealand, England, and Ireland citizens are the only ones that can get an E-2 visa. They must get an E-2 visa in order to teach at a public school or academy and have a minimum of a 4 year college degree.
  2. F4 VISA - Those with Korean ancestry (“Gyopo”) must apply for an F-4 VISA. The F-4 visa is valid for a maximum of 2 years.
  3. C4 VISA - Foreigners who apply and get a C-4 visa are able to teach in Korea but can only stay in Korea for a maximum of 90 days.
  4. Visas for Spouses or Dependants F3 VISA - If your spouse is the one who will be working in Korea, you can obtain a dependents visa if you are legally married. The non-working partner of couples who are not married is not eligible for a dependents visa and will have to travel out of the country every 90 days.
