Although we would not recommend bringing pets if at all possible, YES you can.

We understand that your cats may be very important to you. It is evident as you would be willing to travel to South Korea with them.

However, the reason why it is not recommended is that there would be more room for complications and inconveniences for yourself, your cats/pets as well as your employer.

1. Different airlines have different regulations regarding bringing pets on the plane. Some airlines would not allow cats on board if there are dogs and vice versa. Also, depending on the season, the regulations may change.

2. Medical check-up: You would need to get your pets' shots and rabies vaccination up-to-date. The rabies shot must be given AT LEAST 30 days prior to your departure date. It is possible that if the rabies shot was given less than 30 days prior to your arrival date in Korea, your cats may be put on quarantine.

3. There is usually no quarantine period in Korea, although it may not always be the case depending on different factors as mentioned above.

4. Make absolutely sure, in specific terms that your employer knows you are bringing your two cats and if pets are acceptable by your landlord.

5. With your employment, you will likely be gone 6-9 hours a day. Please consider if this would be the best situation for your pets.

6. There are many factors we need to work with when matching you with jobs. We will have to discuss about qualifications, availability, etc. We can and will mention that "This particular applicant wants to bring her two cats to Korea" and this means the employer would have to deal with not only concerns about the work that goes into hiring the teacher (interviewing, visa sponsoring procedure, housing, etc.) but also about contacting the landlord to discuss about your pets or even have to find another apartment for you.

7. Moving to another country may require a lot of running around and preparations. We are here to assist you so that it is a smooth transition, but at times it can be stressful due to unexpected complications. We are here to share the load with you, but if at all possible, we would recommend eliminating all unnecessary chances of what can make this transition more difficult.


We trust that whichever decision you make would be the right decision and will try our best to provide you with our assistance.
