So I decided to go for another C-4 (90days) visa. However, it seems like I won't be able to apply for this visa a third time.

Philipp Grunwald replied to Alexander Claesson's discussion D-4 visa as an intern, currently on C-4."Mr. Claesson,
first of all I would inquire with your employer (in the HR department, but also with your team-leader etc.). It is their responsibility to at least give you a hint. If you are their first intern, then still they should be able to make…"

Hi,I'm currently on a C-4 visa (90days) and working as an intern (contract is for 1 year) and need to extend my visa in 2 months. I'm wondering if anyone knows if its possible for me to get a D-4 visa or any other visa that would allow me to stay over 90 days.I already called 1345 asking if I was eligible for an E-7 visa but seems I can't get this one since I don't have 1 year of working experience within marketing. They told me I wasn't eligible for any visa except possibly for a D-4 visa but…See More

Martijn Bontenbal replied to Alexander Claesson's discussion Looking for an Internship/job for this winter/spring"Satnam, thank you for your post.
Regarding the challenges, I agree with Alexander that one of the key challenges is to find positions that do not require advanced or fluent Korean. Another challenge I'm facing it to develop a new network…"

Alexander Claesson replied to Alexander Claesson's discussion Looking for an Internship/job for this winter/spring"Well, the biggest problem is to actually find companies that are looking for staff. If I do find one,they will most likely require me to speak fluent Korean ,which I unfortunately do not do yet, or already be a student in Korea. The report that you…"

Trevor G. Lott said… Hello Alexander, I can't offer you and internship, but can talk to you about a sales & marketing job in Seoul, that pays money on a commission basis with hours to suit you. Maybe it's more relevant that working in Macdonalds in downtown Seoul. If this sounds of interest, then drop me an email, trevor@world-markets.biz I am happy to set up a call with you, I am in the Spain office, so the call times should be easy.We are winning a considerable amount of business in Korea, so you never know this could be the start of something really interesting for you. I look forward to hearing from you. Trevor.
