 Applicants to teach English in Korea must:
- Hold a minimum of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited university.

- Canadian citizens from the Quebec Province and countries where English is a co-official language and/or applicants from non-English language backgrounds whose first language is not English must have been taught in English-language schools from junior high school to the university level.
- Ethnic Korean applicants with foreign citizenships or legal residencies must have been taught in English-language schools from junior high school to the university level and have lived abroad for a minimum of 10 years. (If you are a male citizen of the Republic of Korea under the age of 35, you must have either completed mandatory military service or have received an official waiver.)
- Be fluent and proficient in the English language grammar and structure and be able to communicate fluently with clear and distinct pronunciation.
- Be mentally and physically capable of performing the specified responsibilities and duties. Must also have the ability and willingness to adapt to Korean culture and living.
- Meet the criteria of eligibility for the E2 (work) visa set forth by the Korean Immigration Authority (see below).
One of the benefits of working with us is that we will assist you in the visa issuance process. The process differs depending on whether you will be employed to teach in Korea by a private or public school, but it usually takes 10–20 business days. You are responsible for the cost of producing the documents listed below and sending these documents to us.
- University degree (Notarized degrees are also accepted. However, you will need to have it officially notarized by the Korean Consulate in your region. We advise sending your original degree when possible, as some schools will not pay for your airfare up front if you send a notarized copy.)
- Two sets of officially sealed transcripts (The official University seal must be stamped across the envelope seal. If it is somewhere else on the envelope, it will not be accepted.)
- Signed and dated employment contract
- Three passport photos (Photos must be in color and date stamped if possible—delete the red.)
- Photocopy of your passport (photo page and profile page)
- Criminal Background Check and Apostille (Your recruiter will give you specific instructions on obtaining this.)
