| What visa options are available for foreigners in Korea beside E2 and F2? I mean there must be foreigners doing other kind of work in Korea, but what kind of visa do they have? |

| There are different types of F and E visas- I don't know the numbers for them but some are for research, some are for corporate work, etc. Different classes, i.e. not F or E class are are investor visas, student visas, diplomat visas, etc. |

Thanks for the list Tom. I have a situation. I am studying to be a padi dive instructor in Korea and my trainer said if there is a way i can help him out with his scuba diving business he will sponser me with a visa. The problem is we don't know what kind of visa i would qualify for. |
