South Korea has started to implement new security measures at its airports to ensure that fake passports are not used.
TEFL-qualified people who plan to teach English in South Korea should not be put off by this as they are unlikely to be subject to these measures, but it is wise to be aware of them.
New security measures being introduced include finger print scans and full face scans where the finger prints do not yield enough information, reports the Telegraph Expat.
The Ministry of Justice announced this week that these scanners will be introduced at 22 airports and harbours, while four international airports will have full body scanners.
It is hoped that these scanners will help the authorities detect those trying to enter the country on a fake passport or those with a criminal record.
People who wish to teach English in South Korea may see these scanners when they move abroad.
Jobs in the country teaching English pay £1,000 a month, with another £1,000 bonus paid at the end of the 12 month contract.
