Has anyone teaching in Korea tried to get a visa processed for Japan at the Japanese embassy in Seoul? I just spoke to my home consulate in the US, and they informed me that my visa application may not be accepted there because I am American. I'll have my COE, the completed visa application (in English-will that be a problem?), a passport photo, and a copy of the contract. Should I bring anything else? I'm not in Korea at the moment so actually calling the embassy is very expensive....

IF you are resident in Korea (have an ARC) then you can get it processed in Seoul.

IF you are not resident (do not have an ARC) you MAY be required to return to your home country to obtain your visa.

IF you are American you may be able to get it processed in Guam (they do have a Japanese consulate there don't they?)
