Hi Letty, Regarding the quarantine, did you know the full amount beforehand, because you still seem surprised by it:D? What was the budget you had in mind when you started this journey compared to the actual amount in the end? It seems like quite a few people get a few surprises when they eventually arrive abroad and I was just wondering if everyone just had an abundance of extra thousands of Rands on them (if this is the case, then that means the end amount is then even greater).

About the Visa, did you get confirmation from Korea before applying for Visa because in some cases for example like applying for a study visa you need an acceptance letter from University and a SAQA letter. I’m only asking because I’m from Zimbabwe and I’m in the process of doing all this but the visa part is what’s worrying me

With the EPIK program; your contract will be sent to you. And that’s what you use to apply for visa. You send the SAQA letter with the other documents to Korea after passing your interview, and then your schools sends you a contract.

Hi Letty, I'm thinking of doing my tefl course, I've heard of some companies that will pay for your plane tickets and help with accommodation. Is this true? I also had no idea this was so expensive 🤯
@LettyMapstheWorld
@LettyMapstheWorld Жыл бұрын
Yes, you will get reimbursed, definitely if you apply for a public school. You will most likely get the reimbursement with your first salary so you will still need to pay for your own flight first. And Accomodation is provided. I’m not sure if this is the case for private academies/schools

Hey Letty! How difficult is it to transfer money from Korea to your South African bank account? Thanks for the great content❤
@LettyMapstheWorld
@LettyMapstheWorld Жыл бұрын
It’s very easy! You just have to open a remittance account with your bank and you use the banking app to transfer the money. If you send it during the week and during working hours then your money should reflect within 24 hours
