Hello.

I'm an F-4 visa holder at an elementary school Yongin, and I just wanted to double-check what documents I must (as contradictions are not unusual) produce for my school in order to renew the contract (in detail).

They've so far told me:

a) medical check
b) criminal check (so far they've not told me whether a Korean one, or a Canadian one)
c) renewal of my visa to complete the next term

Can anyone specify which documents will be necessary, please. Thank you.

Not so sure for an f4, but for an e2 all you need is your new contract and a letter of sponsorship from your school and immigration will extend your visa for a year.

hey thanks for the feedback. funny thing is that's what i also thought.

but, as far as what my co-teacher says, whereas the first year i was employed and contracted through the Gyeongi-do board of education, my second year will be contracted directly through the school, hence, some other documents will be necessary *again*.

yes, imagine my surprise and annoyance to have to do all such things once for each of the 3 years I've been here.

I had to do this the 2nd year only because I switched from EPIK to GEPIK.

however I am not surprised, and always expect things like these to pop up.

anyone else having to go through this redundant ordeal?
