sorry if people have already discussed this, but i've looked and cant find anything!
does anyone know if its possible to get a working holiday visa without a bachelors degree, but with a 3 year qualifaication HND (from the UK)?

You can get an H1 (working holiday visa) without a degree.
You CANNOT legally teach without a degree.
You CANNOT legally teach on an H1 (even if you have a degree - outside the status of sojourn). |

Not relevant - tourist (C3 tourist visa) in the linked discussion and H1 visa (working holiday - 1 year visa) being asked about here.
H-1 Status (Working Holiday)
A. The object of Visa Issuance
A national whose country made agreements or memoranda on "Working Holiday� with the Republic of Korea is entitled to apply for this visa. The foreigners are allowed to be engaged in short-term working activities while in Korea only to meet their expenses for sightseeing.
※ Countries which made agreements or memoranda on �Working Holiday� with the
Republic of Korea
ㅇ Australia : 1 year period of stay and 1 year validity of multiple visa.
ㅇ Canada : 6 month period of stay and 3 month validity of multiple visa.
ㅇ Japan : 1 year period of stay and 1 year validity of multiple visa
ㅇ New Zea-land : 1 year period of stay and 1 year validity of multiple visa.
* Individuals who intend to engage in work fields contrary to the spirit of the agreement/memoranda or domestic laws are not allowed. For example:
ㅇ An individual who wants to work in an entertainment place as a receptionist, dancer, fashion model, singer, musician, acrobat, etc.
ㅇ An individual who wants to work as a medical doctor, lawyer, professor, pilot, etc. which requires certain qualifications.
ㅇ An individual who wants to work as a foreign language instructor without getting permission
ㅇ An individual who wants to take a regular education or training course other than a Korean language training course within 90 days.
ㅇ An individual who intends to have a job rather than sightseeing.
ㅇ An Individual who wants to engage in the activities such as a reporter, religion, research or technical instruction contrary to the spirit of the agreement/memoranda.
B. Application and Required Documents
A foreigner shall make an application for a visa to a Korean Embassy or Consulate abroad and required documents are as follows:
ㅇ Passport
ㅇ Application form (refer to Annex 2)
ㅇ Return flight ticket
ㅇ Documents proving the applicant's capability to cover the expenses in Korea
ㅇ Travel itinerary and plan
※ If necessary, the chief of a Korean Embassy or Consulate abroad may ask an applicant to submit more documents than required.
C. The Standard of Visa Issuance
ㅇ The chief of a Korean Embassy or Consulate abroad may issue a single visa(H-1) to the object of visa issuance within the period of stay and validity of visa according to the agreements or memoranda on �Working Holiday� with the Republic of Korea without getting permission from the Minister of Justice.
ㅇ For an applicant from the U.S.A. which has an agreement for multiple visas with the Republic of Korea, a multiple visa stipulated by the agreement will be issued.
D. Visa Issuance
When the application is approved, the chief of a Korean Embassy or Consulate abroad shall affix a visa stamp in the passport of the applicant. On a visa stamp, there are the status of sojourn(H-1), period of stay(according to the agreements or memoranda) and validity of a visa. |

Emphasis on "without permission". To get permission, one must also qualify for an E2 visa, with all the documents that entails.
Seems to me teaching on a WHV is more pain than anything:
Have to qualify first for the WHV
Have to ALSO qualify for a teaching visa
Seriously limited in the amount of hours you may teach.
Doesn't seem worth it. |
