I'm trying to help a friend organise a summer camp but I can't get the immigration websites to work. Anyone know what a company needs to do to hire foreign teachers for only 4 days? If you add another activity to your visa (as a teacher) what do you need?

(Having a bad computer day...couldn't get search on here to work either. )

Any help much much appreciated.

You're going to have to go to an immigration window to find out.

I got an "ok" to do a camp from immigration last year. They required certain paperwork from my employer, as well as the camp I was going to do. They can give you a form for all of this. Also, I think it cost like 70,000 won or a tad bit more. They will need to keep your passport and ARC card for a few days to a week, and will print information on the back of your ARC.

Thanks Derrek. Any chance you know what paperwork your summer camp employer needed to show? Jolly immigration website is not loading. Thanks again.

It's all listed on some form you pick up... not sure it's on the website anyway. I believe the school last year called ahead and asked: 02-2650-6223. Don't try around lunch time.

Good luck getting through. I never have, personally.

I think they needed some statement of what I'd be doing, the hours, their dojang stamp on there somewhere, their business # of some sort... I'm really not sure... sorry. Also needed an approval letter signed from my boss at my main job. I think immigration might have had a form for this, or the school had to type one up by following immigration procedures.

You'd better go there and ask 'em.
