"Hi Dustin
You'll have no problems getting the E2 visa. But check out the F2 points visa - it should be achievable after a couple of years of living in Korea, and will give you much more freedom to do different work. That's my plan anyway,…"
Cory Olson replied to Dustin R Cook's discussion Career in Korea"The new rules are still a bit tricky and unclear, but from what I understand it needs to be five consecutive years on the same visa type (5 continuous years on an E2 teaching visa for example). This alone isn't enough though, as you'll…"

Dustin R Cook replied to Steven S. Bammel's discussion Experts Corner: Ask William Sisson about Getting a Job in Korea"I am confused about what you said on housing.
