Just wondering what the best plan of action is. Should I apply for a visa before getting a job in South Korea or after?
Or do agencies usually set you up with a Visa?
Furthermore, if I have to apply before I get a job, should I wait till I get my Visa before I apply?
It should be noted, my initial plan of action is to apply in agencies based in Korea.

Maybe this topic has been discussed before, If it has can somebody post me a link to it.
HOWEVER, if it hasn't can somebody PLEASE help me with this? This is really important to me. :)

have you checked with the Korean consulate in your country how long it takes to get a visa? and how long the visa will last? Also: do they require you to have a job before you can get a visa? Check with the consulate. That should help you decide whether to apply before getting a job or after.

Thanks Susan for your advice. Sorry for the late reply.
