I have a question for you guys. Yesterday I re-signed my contract and went to the immigration office. everything ran smoothing and they stamped some new dates on the back of my ARC, but they didn't put a new visa in my passport. The lady at the desk said I was finished, I'm a little leery of this, as her English was far from perfect. Can anyone give me some advice as of what to do? My co-teacher has no clue.
Quote from: Claytron on December 20, 2013, 03:44:38 pmLet's say I renewed at a public school (gepik) for two years, giving me 3 years total service. What kind of severance can one expect at the end of that assuming the person was paid 2.1, 2.3, 2.5 for each year? Is the worker paid 3 severances?it's the last three months of employment. so (2.5 x 3 months) x 3 years.

Does anyone know what the penalty for overstaying on the ARC card is? I've been told the fee is 60,000 to renew, and I'm only staying a week. It seems like it might be a similar fee without the hassle. It doesn't sit well with me that my visa expires 5 days before my contract ends.Meanwhile the website for online applications is showing an error message for new registrations. Great! Thanks for your help!
Hi - i wonder if anyone has encountered this before - i want to leave the public school system, but stay in Korea - i will have completed my contract, and will be entitled to severance etc - my question is regarding the exit allowance - will i be entitled to that, even though i'm not leaving the country?
I have a question. My contract ends 10/21/2014 but my visa expires 11/14/14, and I am currently looking for another hagwon/kindergarten job that begins around the beginning of December. I would be leaving Korea shortly after the 21st of October and I want to return to the States until I find my next job. So do I have to file all the paperwork again and do the visa process again, or would I be able to just renew it. Thanks in advance.
Hi Guys, I have a question and wondering if anyone has been in my situation before and knows the answer because none of the Korean staff at my school seems to know. I need to switch my workplace and extend my E-2 visa for another year. I am moving from Incheon to Anjung so different Immigration Offices but same province. So I have a few questions:
1. When I go to do these things which immigration office do I need to go to, the new areas immigration?
2. Also do I have to hand in my current ARC and passport? I am trying to book a trip home but if I have to hand those in I obviously cannot go. (which also leaves me homeless for a month between contracts in Korea).
3. Lastly do I have to wait until my current contract finishes (in two weeks) to change my workplace and visa or can I do this ahead of time?
