 |
|
| I've taught in Korea twice before and now I might have to go back due to the bad economy. I noticed that in my passport, my visa is placed on the right hand page and the Korean immigration officials stamp the page to the left of that when I enter/exit the country. My passport has a couple blank pages but I don't have any blank pages that are consecutive. Would that be a problem if I were to get hired and take out a new visa? Would I need to get a new passport? |

| no. Your embassy should be able to add additional blank pages. No need for a new passport until it expires |

Depends on where you are from.
If you are American, get more pages added to your passport.
If you are Canadian you need to get a new passport - two pages won't be enough for a year or 2 abroad and it is much easier to get the problem taken care of in your home country than it is abroad.
Not sure if other (E2 allowable) countries will add pages or not - some do, most countries won't/don't - they require you to get a new passport.
