What if I am not from one of the 7 accepted countries?
Unfortunately, at this time the Korean government only issues E2 English teaching visas to those from one of the 7 native English speaking countries (USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, & New Zealand). Those that fall outside these citizenships can still come to South Korea as a student or tourist, but unfortunately, are not able to come as an English teacher. This is not a rule from Korvia Consulting but is a stipulation set forth by the Korean government as well as the Immigration office. We hope that this will change in the future.
