Hi,

I've recently got my CELTA qualification and am looking to get out and teach in Korea. I came across a company called 'Teach to Travel' and although their offers look great, I'm having some reservations about them. This is mainly in terms of their ability to find decent, trustworthy schools (rather than any that they come across) and in terms of their reliability (they've offered to do all the VISA-related stuff on my behalf, for the same price as it would normally cost, in addition to looking for schools/setting up interviews). Although by and large they seem fine, there have been a few minor things that give me cause for concern, and I wanted to be sure since I'm entrusting them with the next year of my life and all that.

So, in short... are they legit? Has anyone gone through them before?

Thanks in advance for any help. Smile

Does this mean you have to pay for the Visa? Because you shouldn't have to pay anything to any recruiter or any visa fee to find a job in Korea.

It's for apostille stamping your degree certificate and your basic disclosure. Part of what's bothering me is that they're saying this costs 'about £250' when the actual figure on the FCO website says £75 for each document, though this was maybe a mis-step on their part.
