Visa & Immigration Frequently Asked Questions
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is a selection of questions to and answers from a Korean immigration officer on a Korean Immigration website.
Immigration reply. That's correct. A part-time job should be approved by the district immigration office and limited to the public's interest.
Immigration reply. To change the current status into an F-2 visa you need to submit your passport, alien registration certificate, a Korean family register, a Korean resident registration, a marriage certificate, sponsorship (notarized), a Korean partner's employment certificate and an application fee at the immigration office having jurisdiction. A special permission is needed to be hired, which requires a legal qualification based on a variety of the visa status of the immigration law.
As I was going through immigration to leave South Korea there was a problem with the paperwork. Eventually I was able to leave and catch my plane just in time. I was wondering if I provided my details, you could tell me what the problem was? And most importantly, am I able to obtain a work visa to again work in South Korea in the near future? It seems my former Korean employer poorly handled the whole work visa paperwork. Also, with the visa I had would I have been able to leave the country for a short period, perhaps a weekend, or 2 weeks and return on the original work visa. It has in the passport 'good for SINGLE journey to...' Immigration reply. You should have reported the fact of suspension at the immigration office in advance under the agreement between you and your former employer. If you had left Korea without the procedure, you could be restricted from the application for a new visa. A re-entry permit is needed for a foreigner who has an alien registration certificate in advance in order to re-enter Korea and you only had a single entry stamp in your passport. You should have had a multi entry stamp. Follow up question. So, as I thought I was right to keep asking/demanding my former employer that we visit Immigration? Even though it was unsuccessful. Her handling of paperwork, attitude and behaviour in general was very poor. She sent me off to Daegu airport, driving past the Immigration office I must add, with her husband who spoke even less English. I tried to explain to him that we need to go to Immigration, but not knowing how it was meant to be handled. Immigration reply. Nothing can now be changed.
Immigration reply. A release letter does not guarantee your changing employer based on the immigration law even if you should find a new employer. Basically, you are required to leave Korea to get a new visa with a new employer.
Immigration reply. Since the definition of 'native' implies that you must be born in an English-speaking country, the Korean immigration has at least some defence for its action. Also, citizens with passports from the Netherlands do not qualify for an E2 visa.
Immigration reply. You are required to file a report to the chief of the immigration office, the mayor, the county governor or the ward chief having jurisdiction over where you have moved in within 14 days of moving.
1. Is it necessary to leave the country to change my status from E-2 to D-2? 2. I understand that it is possible to work part-time now as a student. Do I need to obtain special permission to work after I receive my D-2 Visa? 3. If I work directly for a company (as a language instructor), rather than a language institute, how do I pay taxes, how many taxes should I pay? Immigration reply. It is possible for you to apply for permission for changing into a D-2 status only if you are admitted at the university based on the law. A D-2 status holder could apply for a special permission for a part-time job only when more than one year have passed since your admission. In addition the permissible should be limited to the areas such as a lawn mowing, translation, a librarian, etc. which are related to the major field of study.
Immigration reply. 14 days
Immigration answer If you desire to quit your job prior to the contract's termination, you and your employer are required to be present at the district immigration office and submit a written application. Then your period of stay on your card will be re-adjusted. Therefore, an agreement between both of you would be essential. If you are not able to get a release letter then you will find it difficult to get another visa.
Immigration answer Without the visa already stamped into your passport you cannot enter Korea without a ticket already issued out of Korea. You may not allowed to leave your country at your own airport without the onwards journey ticket.
Immigration reply. The E2 visa is issued for a period of 12 months only. Your employer can apply for an E2 visa for you if you have agreed to a shorter term for him but your contract must be submitted as a 12 month contract. The employer must report to immigration within 14 days of you leaving the job and you must leave Korea within the 14 days. You cannot apply for a new job until the 12 months expires without his permission and release.
