Travel Tips

Legally no. Illegally yes.

There are some special cases however when I've seen the Ministry of Education/Immigration grant a Filipino person a working visa for teaching English. This is only if they've graduated from a University in a native English speaking country. i.e. Canada, U.S.A, N.Z. Aus. South Africa, G.B., Ireland. OR they are married to a Korean and have a valid F-class visa.

Unfourtunately Korea has strict rules on non-native speakers teaching English. They can be fined up to 5 million won and held in the Immigration Detention Center until they are able to come up with those funds. After that they are immediately deported.

I know this because I've worked in a few schools where some Filipino teachers have worked. Immigration inspects schools once a year around March or April, and one time they caught one of those schools I worked at with one Filipino girl. She was on a student visa, D2 and they arrested her and deported her promptly.

Ok, don't worry, it's not all over. DO NOT work in a Hagwon or Childrens School. Immigration never checks out any companies only schools. Instead do some private tutoring. Check out some websites like

Do not advertise yourself on there, there are some traps to find illegal teachers. Check out some of the private tutoring jobs, usually teaching 1:1 adults or kids, sometimes groups in companies. They usually pay 40 or 50,000 won per hour. Go for that, most of the time they never check your credentials or I.D. card. Tell them you are from the U.S. or something. They'll probably believe you if your English is near-perfect.

Take my advice.

you probably can, it might be useful to look into a tefl/tesol (teaching english to speakers of other language) course to get some kind of credentials
Companies like to hire native English speakers from English speaking countries. America, Britain, Australia, Canada, NZ. I know Filipinos can speak English well but I think employeers like to hire people from these traditional English speaking countries. 3rd year level? Of college? Or of work? To get a working visa teaching English then one must have a degree from a four year university. It is worth a try so good luck!

You can only get a teaching visa if you are from one of the "English countries": Canada,America,UK,NZ, Australia or South Africa.
