Teaching in Korea Part 1: Visa Documents

Required documents needed for Visa Application (USA and Canada)

1. Notarized or Apostille Certified PHOTOCOPY of your university degree - (do not submit your original degree)

-Canada doesn’t have Apostille Certification so Canadians will have to get their documents notarized by a notary public or find a lawyer that can notarize your diploma. 

- For Canadians you may also need a sealed copy of your transcripts

2. At least 5 Passport sized photos 

- You need these for your Alien Registration Card (ARC), Health Check Form (2 photos), and visa application form

3. Korean Style Resume

-This follows the style of a basic resume, so it should have a brief self-intro, relevant work information, name of post-secondary school(s) attended and certificate(s)/diploma(s) received

·        The top of the first page on the left hand-side should include: -Full Name (First and Last names), Marital status, email, contact number, Skype id

·        On the right hand-side of the first page you should have a picture of yourself

4. Criminal Background Check

-This can’t be older than 6 months old, and it MUST INCLUDE YOUR FINGERPRINTS! You should probably get this done about a month before you start applying for jobs. It takes about 10-15 business days to have your digital background check completed and the results sent to you.

For both USA and Canada, it is faster to get a digital fingerprint check done.

USA: FBI Check

Canada: RCMP background check and must include your picture. You may be able to get this done at your local police station, but you’ll most likely have to use a private company. 

5. Your recruiter may ask you to fill out a Medical Check Form

-This asks about any disabilities, diseases, and mental health problems

6. Valid Passport

- Your passport must be within 6 months of it’s expiry date.
