|
|
I am currently working on my JET application but have run into an interesting program.
iv. Applicants/candidates who have lived in another country for at least twelve consecutive
months during the preceding five years must submit a criminal record from that country
as well.
as I have previously taught in Korea for a year, this applies to me... does anyone know how to go about this?
Thanks! |

As I am been researching this today, I believe the only way to do this is to physically go to your nearest Korean consulate in the US and apply for it in person.... can anyone confirm this? This is a bit annoying for me because I live pretty far away and would ideally want to mail it if possible |
