hi-

Im applying to start a masters in korea starting in september
obviously this is all deopendent on whether im accepted or not but since I hjave already taught in korea I was thinking of doing this part time to help pay for my studies.

I dont think this would be legal for my first semester (6 months) although i may try and get one or two privates or discreetly do some work for a friends boss

but i was wondering if anyone knew the legalities and my options after the first six months subject to a professor giving me clearence to work part time.

I was thinknig just trying to work 3 or 4 nights a week at a hagwon or but im not sure If a hagwon owner would want me- as i wont sign a contract or get myself tied down to anything. was thinking just privates (how do i do this legally are their tax forms and things i can declare it on)

also was thinking of doing summer and winter camps but- would I be able to do them on my students visa or would i have to get the temporary work visa- in which case can i have two visas at the same time?

itll be a two year course so im gonna need to make some money at some point

i think this exact question was posted on the "general" board with a similar title to your post.

if you cant find it and the search isnt working, then use searcheslcafe.com.

I know it's definitely feasible- I know several people who work legally on student visas. I recommend you contact immigration. I hear the process is lengthly, but that it's feasible.

Learn to write (at least spell) before you start an MA anywhere.

"Can I work legally on a student visa?" Simple, without all of the illegal work nonsense.

reet-o then marrra

I know I can legally work I'd just like to know whether It's possible and worthwhile to do privates legally and whether I can do summer/winter camps on my student visa or whether I'd need the temp work visa. If this is so is it possible to have the two visas running concurrently.
