 Now we're getting into more about actually teaching in Korea And I just want to start off with the qualifications because people are always like, you know What do I need? Do I need to have a bachelor's in education or do I need to you know, what do I need to have? so Basically two things are important mostly when it comes to teaching English in Korea. It's your nationality Unfortunately and your qualifications So generally for qualifying for the English teaching visa, which is the e2 visa that most English teachers are on here You must be a passport holder from the following countries. So you ask Canada United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa Australia and New Zealand Oh ignore that university So yeah You need to be from one of those countries You need to be a passport holder from one of these countries. However, there are some loopholes and I'm going to talk about that in just a bit so Don't worry about that then you also need to have at least a bachelor's degree and A copy must be notarized and episteld so But yeah, that's really you can get that done very easily. But yeah, you need to have a bachelor's degree But it doesn't matter which major So it doesn't have to be in TESOL. It doesn't have to be in teaching. It doesn't have to be in English It can be any major as long as you've completed four years of education Yeah, so that's sort of what you need in order to get the visa So your bachelor's degree the copies they must be notarized and episteld and there's a lot of companies that do that so an epistel is like a It's similar to a notarization, but like it's for international use I think that's the difference, but there are a lot of services if you search like You search it online. You can find services to do it, you know, they've expressed services Obviously you need to pay more money for that. But yeah, it's pretty easy to do Some other requirements that you will need to get that visa are three sealed university transcripts You also need to get a clear criminal background check and that usually kind of takes the longest to get I feel like especially now with all, you know, the public offices not really operating at full speed Yeah, so you need to get like your fingerprints taken and then sent that in For US people from the US. It's like you have to send it into the FBI you get an FBI criminal background check Um has to be clean in order to get to visa Yeah, you also need a passport photocopy. You need to present a resume You also need to have a signed copy of the school contract For passport sized photos and two letters of recommendation Even though now I'm thinking about it. I think I didn't have any letters of recommendation So I'm not sure if that is still the case I don't know but yeah, that's the general Requirements or things documents that you need in order to get your visa But like before that obviously so you need to make sure like you have all of these things you have your bachelor's degree You know prepare get ready and then once you have all of these things you tick you tick all the boxes you check all the boxes You can then move on to Applying for a job once you have that they will give you the contract and then you can usually you can basically do like the final steps of Going to the embassy and you know presenting all the documents and then you get your visa So that's that basically Thanks so much for watching We are ITTT the leading provider for TEFL and TSOL training courses.
