Below are links to
the embassies of the seven countries that Korea considers "English
speaking." Note that these are the seven nations whose nationals can be
issued a visa for the purposes of teaching conversational English.
None of the
embassies below offers much service of use to its nationals. You can have
your passport renewed, but don't expect the embassy to be of help if you
have problems with your employer or if you want to borrow money. Most of the
countries below have published some sort of guide to teaching English in
Korea. None are particularly accurate or up-to-date and the U.S. guide (or
warning) is quite alarmist.
All of the
embassies will encourage you to register so that you can be 'evacuated' in
an emergency. In reality, I can't imagine that any of the governments below
(with the possible exception of the U.S., and that's just because they've
got all those military bases in Korea) would have any hope of evacuating its
nationals in a real crisis.
