That's what a recruiter just told me. One copy for applying for the visa and a second copy to turn in somewhere in Korea, but the way she explained it didn't make sense to me.
I thought only one was required.
Information please. |

One is REQUIRED.
The 2nd one is for your registration at the MOE.
It does NOT have to be an original BUT there ARE restrictions.
A copy (of the one you submitted to immigration in Korea)
issued and certified by immigration in Korea,
will suffice for the MOE registration for those people on an E2.
Alternatively, a 2nd original with an apostille can also be used and save having to deal with getting the certified copy from immigration during your first few hectic weeks in Korea.

Thanks - does immigration have a fee for providing that certified copy? I'm a scrooge nowadays so I'll probably do whichever method is cheaper. |

There is a small fee but you have to make the trip in to immigration and depending on your job it may not be possible or convenient.
