I recently finished my contract in Korea and I'm now weighing the options of going back for a second one. Basically, I want to know if I have to go through the same process as before or if there is a shorter process for your second run since they already have you in their system.

I'm an American citizen and I left at the end of May. My girlfriend is basically in the same situation, though she is Canadian.

The first time I went through this process, it took me about 3 months from the point I sent off for my background check to when I was working in Korea. Should I expect the same?

Thanks in advance

New visa = start again from scratch - the same as the first time.
