MOD EDIT I won't explain my situation, but basically I need to leave before I possibly get deported. I'm making the move to Taiwan to begin teaching there. Since I'm not in America right now I can't apply for the 60 day extendable visa there, so I'm thinking I'll fly directly from Seoul to Hong Kong and apply for the 60-day visa there instead. How long does the visa processing take? I'm kind of working with limited funding right now, and I need to know how many days I'll have to budget for staying in HK.

MOD EDIT
I got a 60 day extendable visa in Seoul in Feb of this year. I am not an American but I guess Americans would also be able to. It took just 3 or 4 days.

The job market is tight here but if you have a good CV and give a nice demo you should be able to find something and with a little luck you will get a full time gig. If you want options China has a lot to offer.

Every time I got a 60 day visa for Taiwan it was a two-day affair. Drop off the application form the 1st day and it was always ready to be picked up the next day.

I don't know if you have options, but I would try and go to Thailand to get your visa. The staff at the Hong Kong office were not very friendly or helpful.

Good luck!
