E-2签证颁发给被雇用在韩国持证教育机构——包括公立学校、私立语言补习班（hagwon）和大学——教授外语的本土语言使用者。这是韩国最常见的外籍人士工作签证之一。
来自英语使用国家（美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰、爱尔兰、南非）的公民，持有学士学位并获得韩国教育机构的工作录用函。其他外语教师（法语、德语、中文、日语、西班牙语）也可能符合资格。
目标语言的本土语言使用者，来自该语言为国家语言的国家
学士学位或更高学位来自原籍国（任何领域）；或来自韩国大学的学士学位
来自持证韩国教育机构（补习班、公立/私立学校、企业培训中心等）的有效工作录用函
涵盖整个原籍国的经过公证的刑事背景调查（在申请前3个月内签发）
健康申明表（자기건강확인서）
薪资必须至少达到当年最低工资
Delay and refusal risks
English-teacher cases are often delayed by criminal-record, degree, employer, and education-provider defects.
Korea usually expects a properly authenticated national-level criminal background check where required. State/local checks or old documents can create refiling risk.
Manual basis: The E-2 manual sections discuss government-issued criminal-record documents, public confirmation, and recency rules.
Degree documents, passport nationality, and native-English-country eligibility need to support the exact E-2 route and employer filing.
Manual basis: The manual treats degree proof and status-specific teacher eligibility as core issuance documents.
A school, hagwon, or education provider with licensing, registration, quota, or prior-compliance problems can delay or block the application.
Manual basis: The manual includes employer/provider review points and refusal/restriction language for improper foreign-teacher hiring.
Real-world scenarios
E-2 scenarios turn mostly on nationality, degree proof, criminal-record authentication, and the school or hagwon sponsor.
You have a job offer from a Korean school or hagwon and are applying from your home country.
Main risk
Degree and criminal-background documents must be current, properly authenticated, and accepted by the Korean consulate handling the case.
