 |
|
Hi,
I am looking to be teaching in South Korea in a few months. I've read that for work visas to be issued a degree certificate must be shown. It's been several years since my undergraduate study and i have no idea where my degree certificate is, however i do have copies of my Post Graduate Diploma Certificate as well as My MA Certificate. Would this be sufficient for the issue of a work visa? |

No, they would not be sufficient.
Iimmigration requires your Bachelors degree and SEALED university transcripts.
Since you have to contact your uni for the transcripts you might as well get a replacement degree certificate at the same time.
If you are unable to get a replacement certificate your options are:
a) find the old one.
b) choose another country to work in. |

What he said. If you are a Brit you might have some trouble getting a new degree cert because my uni only gives out on certificate and if you lose that they will only give you a letter confirming you when you graduated etc.
However, if you are North American, you shouldn't have a problem.
