many more than that but it depends on what you (individual professor) are teaching.

The better universities are transfering over to e1 as they get more financial support from the government for foreign staff on e1 visas. but that means as a foreign professor/teacher there must be something in your academic field that Koreans can't do

My uni does, but I��m in Eng Lit department

My school changed over to E1 because long term teachers were sick and tired of having to get and pay for criminal records checks over and over again. That's not counting all the degree verification foolish over and over again as well.

What's the benefit of the E1 over the E2? Is it just the criminal check/health check stuff? or is there more to it than that?

Not much, although the avoiding the criminal check hassle is a nice convenience. And, when you go to immigration, you can go to that small room on the left (in the Omokgyo Seoul branch anyway), and don't have to wait in the long line.

I've heard it's easier to get stuff such as housing, cell phones, etc as well. Not having to get a CBC every year would be nice as well!

[Son Deureo!]

I never had any trouble getting housing or a cell phone as a result of having an E-2. Naturegirl, aren't you on your way to getting your F-2-7 anyway?
