Is it o.k. to submit certified copies of your Degree and TEFL certs to Irritation for your E2? I didnt last time, but i wanna this time.

As long as the Korean embassy certifies them, there aren't any problems. I and my wife have only ever used copies. Smile

Just give your closest embassy a call. At the Sydney consulate it cost $AUD3 per document and they posted it back the same day they received it. I used overnight express post so it took 3 days.

Never send originals to a recruiter!!! I thought I had a position last week when I signed a contract and posted it along with all my document to a recruiter. 2 days later she tell me that the school decided to hire someone who was already in Korea but not to worry because she will find me a job. Yeah right. She just thinks that I have to work through her now because she has my documents. Luckily I sent copies so I am free to apply through other recruiters.

It depends the consulate in auckland asked me to come back a few hours later. Bring your passport with you, I managed to get out of it by saying that I had already had an e2 so new if the degree didn't match my name on the passport I would be in trouble.
