What documentation do I need from my visa-sponsoring employer when I wish to add a second employer to my visa?

An Act of god.

Really now an E-2 is for a single employer only.

You could work for a second employer if you get a letter of permission from your current employer and go to immigration to get the proper paperwork.

You need a letter from your principal sponsor stating that he will allow you to accept another postion. You need a letter from the second employer and a copy of the contract with that employer. Some additonal immigration paperwork and pay a fee, they will then endorse your ARC with the name of the second employer. It is legal and a relatively painless experience. Your current sponsor should be able to assist with the paperwork.

Have your current employer call immigration and let THEM handle it!

Hum, that shounds like a good idea. Making over 3 million won a month is my goal, and if I can do it without the deporation threat, yeha.

Thank you for the excellent post howie!

if your wife is korean, you can get a spousal visa as well which may allow to teach in more than one place at the same time. good luck.

Thre are restrictions on if they will give you an approval to work elsewhere...much of it depends on what your main E-2 job is.

If you work for a Hagwon, it's nearly impossible.

If you work for a Public institution or a University, there is more of a possibility.

They have a list of what they basically will and will not grant an additional job for.

I obtained the proper authorization on the back of my E-2 for extra summer camp work this year. I work for a high school, although private (not public).
