Hi,

Myself and the girlfriend would like to head to Korea but we are not sure if we can? I am an Irish national with degree, tefl cert etc and she is a Russian national with english taught degree and 2 masters all taught in ireland over the past 7 years along with a tefl cert.

We applied for a job but they said no because of visa issues for herself. Does anyone know what the story is with this and if we can actually get the visa or what can we do?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

BG

She is not eligible for an English teaching visa and since you arent married, she cant even tag along on a spousal visa.

Europe, SE Asia, China, Central and South America.

You are pretty much good to go anywhere.
She, until you get married, will always have visa issues.

Ttompatz, if they got married would she be able to work legally with a spousal visa? I'm just curious.
