You must have a copy of the actual degree apostilled when you get your E2 visa, so there is no way around it. Thanks, Lindsay Hi Russell,

I had great references from the school. This was on my 4 year Higher education diploma. I left Korea for a year and reapplied to teach in 2008 but was told that my qualification was no longer acceptable. I have since almost completed a 3 year BA degree with English and Education majorsand but have two 1st year papers to pass in May. I have distinctions for most of my papers on 2nd and 3rd year level and am expecting good results for the two 1st year papers. Do you think this will make my qualifications acceptable to immigration at this point? I have booked to write the last 2 papers in Seoul in May I taught for 3 years in Korea and had an E2 visafrom 2005 to 2007. I had great references from the school.

But I don't quite follow :( So, you are saying that it should be ok as long as I check it with my employer? I was afraid if Korean immigration office might throw me out of the country in the middle of my contract. Hi,

To legally obtain a regular E2 visa in Korea, you must have the actual certificate---because you must make a copy of that and have it apostilled--to give to Korean immigration for your E2 visa number. This could mean that you can't a job until you actually have a degree certificate in hand. Hi Sean,

I am applying as a student who is expected to graduate in June. However, there can be a problem. I didn't do too well on two of my exams and I am not sure if I will get those credits. If I don't pass those, i won't be able to graduate in June. The website says I need to provide my certificate as soon as I get it. I currently got an offer from Korea and am just waiting for my E-2 visa. What kind of problems do I have to expect?? Thank you. Hi,

Almost 6 years ago I worked for 4 months in Korea but due to my dad contracting a serious case of phenomena I had to end my contract early and fly home. My school was alright with it. Do I need to notify the school I'm applying with now of my prior stay, and do I need to take any extra steps with my visa application? Thanks Hello,
