Korean Immigration has recently implemented new policies on the E2 visa requirements, such as requiring medical records, criminal records, and interviews at overseas Korean embassies. This is a very fluid situation and there is a general opinion that the execution of the policy will continue to be refined. As a result, we cannot guarantee that our information will be current, to the moment. If you wish for the latest information and safe guidance, we please encourage you to contact Rowan at ESL-Planet, who is always at the forefront of industry changes and helping teachers get good jobs.
As a foreign teacher in Korea, it is illegal to work a 2nd job or do private tutoring, unless you have approval from both the employer who is sponsoring your visa, as well as approval from immigration. One may also find this necessary if you are working at a public school and plan to teach at an English camp during the school's summer or winter vacation. This will usually require:
A letter giving permission from your current school (with their stamp on it).
Additionally, you must be able to show that the proposed second workplace is somehow education-oriented. This typically means that it is actually illegal teach at a company.
