      Hi Asnath, this is a great question. I believe that as long as it wouldn’t hinder your ability to teach it shouldn’t be an issue but this is my opinion. I would hate to steer you in the wrong direction. ❤️I’d say best to confirm this with EPIK directly. Pop them an email

    My highlight for 2022 is God's grace over my life I know that many people have not seen the new year. And I am grateful for His grace, mercy, love and favor in my life. My husband and I are married for a year and I cannot express enough words to how thankful I am to God for carrying us and my loved ones.
    2023, I look so forward to sharing the good news to people and reminding or even sharing with them that we have a wonderful Creator and a Lord that saves and does not condemn and that we should repent and turn away from our sins seek His righteousness. He sacrificed His life for our salvation and it was freely given. I look forward to see all God's wonderful works that will take place in the year we are in because without God we come to nothing and we rest in Him. I praise God now already for the souls to be saved in this year.
    Annah God bless you. May His peace rest upon you. In all your works and ways know Him glorify God and honor Him with your life. I praise God for a sister and brother in Christ. I pray that whatever you were called to do in South Korea will be filled with Gods will and desire for you. Happy New year!
    I God willing would love to meet you and I trust that it will be soon. I am going to apply for the August intake through Gods Grace and if He wills it. And hopefully God willing I would be able to meet you.
    Blessings and peace. May our Good Lord keep you and give you comfort in your time of need❤.
    God bless you!

      @vuyo_M8542 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @AnnahPokubye
      @AnnahPokubye  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Vuyo, for illegal drugs, that seems like a clear scenario for your contract and visa to be terminated. As for diseases and viruses - I cannot confirm which diseases or viruses they would terminate a contract for. If you have a certain disease/virus that you are concerned about I’d say email epik/recruiter to ask hypothetically what happens. For example I know with HIV it has been ruled that it is unlawful to cancel one’s visa or contract should they test positive for HIV on top of that it’s been ruled unconstitutional to test for HIV for the E2 visa.

      Hey Zolani, in the past; foreigners where being screened for HIV for VISA applications But since then, there has been a case a few years ago that resulted in this being unconstitutional.
      As such they dont test for HIV anymore as per the law. No need to worry, they would be violating the law if they test for HIV even more so without your permission. It is also unlawful for them to terminate your VISA and contract for this reason. In terms of your lenses, not to worry. you wear glasses - as such it wont affect your ability to teach 😍
