Apply online for an ACRO Police Certificate (formerly known as a Subject Access Request). This is the UK equivalent of a national police check for overseas use.

Submit the ACRO certificate to the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Legalisation Office for apostille. This can be done online or by post.

Submit your degree certificate to the FCDO Legalisation Office for apostille. If your degree is not a UK-issued document, additional steps may be required.

Gather all additional documents: passport photos, TEFL certificate, transcripts, updated CV, and medical certificate if required by your employer.

Your Korean employer submits your documents to Korean Immigration and obtains a Visa Issuance Number (VIN) on your behalf.

Visit the Korean Embassy in London (or Edinburgh consulate for Scotland) with your VIN and all original documents to receive your E-2 visa.
