Hi guys,
Im looking for an "official" list for all the different VISA types in South Korea.
My soon-to-be boss needs to see if I fall under the requirements or not.
Thanks!

He really shouldn't need the entire visa list. There are dozens and sub-visas which aren't listed or explained there. The F2 actually includes about 5 or 6 sub-types right now.

If he really wants the entire list tell him to contact the ministry of justice and request a copy.

However, he really should be able to narrow it down. Most English teachers are going to end up on an E-2 (hagwons, public schools) E-1 (universities) or E-7 (a few special jobs, like some English villages) those are all he probably needs to see.
