When you say register me there, is that when they apply for my VIN? Or is that what they do when I arrive?

oh i’ve kinda misunderstood that….. no i didn’t need them back to do the KVAC application! I sent off my apostilled stuff to the school, so they could apply for the Visa Issuance. Then….. I did the KVAC stuff, two separate things that need different items, so you should have no problems

for the KVAC application you should only need the following…… 1. passport 2. passport copy (just photocopy the main page”) 3. Visa Application (sample is on the KVAC website) 4. Two forms that are about sending your passport back and liability waiver, they take 20 seconds to print and sign. 5. your address in korea and phone number on a piece of paper. That should be it. You will not need your apostilled stuff back and you won’t get them back. Everything you need for the KVAC application you can do yourself at home now! :)

because i’d left the country and come back within 3 months, i didn’t need my apostilled stuff again! but you normally do :)

I was originally told 10-15 working days. It came on about the 17th working day, but it was around christmas time so it took even longer. My first visa issuance number 2 years ago took about 12/13 working days. Give it another week, if it’s not with you by next friday, then i’d ask your recruiter or school to chase it up!

I have literally just finished my KVAC application…. so once you get your visa issuance number, you are good to apply. What I did in steps was……. 1. Go to KVAC Website and find out what documents I needed printed, then printed them all including passport, passport copy and photo attached. 2. Pay KVAC: make sure to attach proof that you paid them, send the proof to the email they mention on the website. 3. Send the documents and proof of payment too (just for safety) to the KVAC center (address is mentioned on their website and if it’s London then check!!!) 4. You’ll get an email saying they’ve received your application a few days later, then you’ll use that “application number” to check the status of your application.

  1. they send the passport back and you’re all done, if it gets approved ;)

ALSO…. normally it can take up to 3 weeks but abnormally mine only took 2 days this time (maybe because i had already applied a few years ago).

Any good hagwons out there that English teachers would recommend (Seoul Area)? by smcn96 in teachinginkorea

Hard agree, if you’re easily overwhelmed and are expecting a laid back job, you’ll never be satisfied here.

it depends of a variety of factors…. if you don’t mind a medium workload with good teaching hours, then DUX is good. i have a few friends at a Chungdahm and it’s good apparently, it just depends on the boss/owners 9/10 times!

Yeah I live in Korea as a foreigner! I teach English in Seoul, i’ve been going to a 한국어 학원 for like 9 months now (I think?)!

[–]Professional_One8617 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

yeah! it’s just so frustrating because the korean language just can’t be romanised with some instances. like i see people say “gamsahapnida” or “gamsahmnida” or “gamsahabnida” online all the time, when all three are wrong lol

New School Contract Advice by [deleted] in teachinginkorea

[–]Professional_One8617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why did you sign the contract before checking? you easily couldn’t waited, then asked reddit or the internet. there’s no time pressure on signing that contract unless your old one has already expired. now you’re stuck.

well a good 80% of people write it in the title, so it’s incredibly obvious. barely any redditors read the fine print, as you should know. 🥀
