 |
|
Just a quick question:
Let's say an English teacher has overstayed their E2 visa by 6 weeks, what kind of fine are they looking at?
The person in question, a former teacher at our school, says Immigration told him that you could stay for a month and only pay a 100,000won fine. That sounds a little dodgy to me, as often you hear conflicting stories from Immigration officials.
Anyone have any ideas or information? |

| 6 weeks? You're on your second months of overstay so that'll be 200K. The rate is 100k per month. |

6 weeks? 200k won fine and black mark on your record.
Possible (but not probable) ban on re-entry. |

You cannot stay past the end of an E2 visa (ie 1 year after you got here) without permission from immigration.
As for the original post - my friend had this treatment. He stayed 1 month and paid (I think) 100,000. He didn't have any problems and he has a new job here now. Don't know about 2 months though. |
