ttompatz recently wrote in another thread about extending one's visa:

IF it is for PLEASURE - take your:
ARC
passport
Plane ticket out of Korea
application down to the immigration office. They will extend you until the date on your plane ticket. This is free but limited to 14 days. |
Does anyone know why the exact contract end date is the exit date? How can they expect people to leave on a work day?!!!!
Why can't the exit date be automatically after the contract end date? Will I be fined if I don't make the trip to immigration and I just leave 10 days later?
Is this really something everyone here has to do? It seems stupid to require everyone to go to immigration because they have classes on their exit date and have to teach. |

Tom is right.
If you do not leave on the date that is specified on your ARC you WILL be fined. Fines start at 100,000 won.
Your visa is the permission from immigration/government to be in this country. It may seem stupid to you, but they must control who is in the country, and if they start to let the rules bend for a day, ten days, when does it stop.
Go to immigration, get the extension. Show them your plane ticket. |

Dude, what the hell are you talking about? Bending the rules? Who's asking to bend the rules? Please respond to what I'm discussing.
Why do some people have exit dates on there visas after their contract ends without doing anything at all, while others have to get permission to leave the day after classes finish (since the exit date dictated is a work day)? Who's fault is this? Immigration? The employer? Who's to blame? |

Why - because they started work (illegally) and then did their visa run with the end result that their contract expires before the exit date on their ARC.
Bottom line is still the same:
you have until midnight of the last date indicated on your ARC to either:
a) leave the country,
b) get an extension,
c) overstay your visa, get hassled, detained/delayed, a fine and a blackmark in your immigration file.
Pick one - your choice.
