In the past 40 years since I received my BS my original diploma has been lost. I do have my original Masters diploma. Will that be sufficient to satisfy the degree requirements for all of my paperwork to teach in Korea?

Sorry to contradict Ttompatz but yes it will be sufficient to be issued an E2 visa, I have a Master degree, but no Bachelor degree and I have been issued 3 E2 visas and an E7 with permission to do E2 activities.

The requirement for an E2 that you hold a Bachelor degree or higher Source: http://www.hikorea.go.kr

EPIK will not accept applicants without a bachelors degree but immigration will.

I have used my Masters degree and not my BA degree to get my visa. You just need to have the transcripts match. Cannot give Masters diploma and BA transcripts obviously.

I ran out of BA transcripts last time and had plenty of MA transcripts, so I used my MA diploma and transcripts. Immigration didn't have a problem.

Gaelyn, I think that you probably should just write your University and have them order a new diploma. I have received replacements.

I think that not having your BA diploma is the least of your problems if you are 60+. Good luck teaching in Korea.

You can read for a master's degree in Europe if you have enough relevant work experience without a B.A.

ASk your uni if you can get a new one. I lost mine in a move, paid 20 dollars and got a new one, only to find the first when I moved again.
