Academic Credentials Requirements for Teaching in Korea
In December 2007, the Korean government toughened the academic-credentials check requirements for all categories of foreign teachers in Korea. Then, in September 2010, some of the requirements were amended.
As of 01 September 2010, the Korean government requires that new ESL instructors or those renewing/changing their contract obtain an apostille to confirm the authenticity of their university records. The government has indicated that this need only be done once.

The document is required once during the foreigner's Korea sojourn period.
