That just totally confirms what I said. It only mentions the requirement of having the degree for the MOE, not immigration. EPIK is not immigration, they can't unilaterally change immigration policy for their employees only. This policy primarily applies to those on F4,F6, of which there are many more than you think.

Well, since you are a faceless poster on an internet forum, I'll believe it when I hear it from EPIK. Not that it matters to me, since I have my degree and E2, but in the spirit of providing accurate information I'll contact EPIK next week to get an official interpretation of that. And immigration, while I'm at it, to get official interpretation of the requirements listed on that website. |

And of the 30,000 odd E visa holders here (to say nothing of the F-visa ones)...how many of these people do you actually know? |
All of them.

Or are you simply assuming that your reasons for coming here are the same as everyone else? |
It's actually the first thing they say to me when they get off the plane. It goes something like this.
Me: Welcome to Korea.
Them: Do you know that I'm a regular, directionless young person who thought all he had to do was study pysch in university to land some cushy middle-class job, but then it turned out I actually had to work hard at some low-paying job and live out of my parent's basement, so now I'm here to jump on the bandwagon, because I heard that ten years ago people used to make money here?

The percentage of long termers/lifers is fairly small... |
I wonder about that. |
Don't quit your day job there fella.
People come to Korea for all sorts of reasons. Although those who came to Korea because they couldn't make it back home, tend to be the ones who are quickest to assume the same of everyone else here. |
