Hi all,
This is my first post here.
Just to give you some background:
I'm an English teacher in a university in South Korea and have one and a half years teaching experience and CELTA, a BA in History and an MA in International Relations. I'm a British citizen.
My long term girlfriend is a Hong Kong and British citizen (HK native though) and she will probably have a job by September.
My aim is to come over and teach private lessons. I would really prefer to do this legally, so have been doing my homework regarding visas etc.
One type of visa I have heard about is the 'dependant' visa. Would anyone be able to advise me if this is a viable option?
I have a few thousand pounds saved, if this is relevant.
My idea was to apply for a dependant visa and then register a business to legalise my teaching (or would I already be legal on a dependant visa? I assume not)
Apologies if this has been discussed ad nauseum on these boards, just haven't been able to find a definitive answer using search.
Cheers
