My girlfriend is wondering how possible it would be for her to get employment in Korea.

She was born in Korea, but adopted by a Dutch family, raised in Belgium, lived in the UK for 10+ years, and holds an EU passport.

She is extremely fluent in English (with a slight British accent) and is a college graduate from an institution here in Chicago - most of her recent work experience has been as a nursing assistant.

What do you think her chances are?

She can get an F Visa based on her ethnicity and can find employment, just like anyone else.

Her background will be sought after in some Korean companies who have contacts in Europe.

She can get an F-4 visa, which allows her to work any white-collar job.

If she is fluent in English, it's good.
If she's fluent in Korean, even better.
