Hey,
I sent my visa docs to Korea last week, but like a fool I only sent them Air Mail - the most basic of methods. I regret that. I was told it would be 5 working days depending on the postal system in Korea. Can I expect it to arrive soon or is it likely to take another week or so?
I'm a bit concerned because the recruitment was a bit rush-rush so I don't want them to start looking at more immediate options. Grrrr. |

You may be lucky. I've had stuff take between 2 and 6 weeks to arrive.
A lot depends on how the adress is written, how heavy it is, etc.
If you've put the adress in Korean as well as English I think it'll be quite fast. |

| Thanks for the response. The address is written in English...and it's a light package containg only half a dozen pieces of paper...suppose there's nothing I can do but wait. Tedious tedious wait. |

The Korean postal service has improved at lot at reading english. Years ago i had stuff regularly sent back because they couldn't decipher it. But it should be fine now.
Papers, documents, bureocracy, red tape and officialdom were invented to sabotage peoples lives...  |

| Anywhere between 4 days and 4 weeks. Make an image file to send to people back home with your full address in Korean. They're quite keen on opening things, I think about 50% of stuff I get has been opened. |
