how much of a percentage of teachers is this new E2 visa requirements going to affect? In other words, how many people do you think will be moving on in Korea?
I mean, if they take blood tests and find a trace of THC that you burned in Thailand 3 months ago, your gone. If you have an STD that you attracted from a toilet that you sat on, your gone. If you have a criminal record for a crime you committed (and paid the time for), your gone.
So how many E2ers do you think are moving on?
I say were looking at 20 to 30%

| THC is out of your system in less than a month. |

That is not true...stays in your hair, hence it does not leave unless you shave all the hair on your body...but even then, that is not what i am on about. It depends on how much you do smoke, your body mass and the rate of your metabolism. It stays stored in your cells. Everyone is different, hence what you read on the net about it is that a month is the minimum.
But that is not what my OP was about...it was about the amount of teachers you think will be lost here in Korea. |

it's a little vague as to who exactly will be affected. what i read in the paper was a "proposal" and I'm sure they are aware that requiring all present E-2 VISA holders to produce all the requested documentation along with interviews at Korean consulates outside of Korea before March 1st is completely impossible. They won't even make the official announcement until next month, which will leave about 2 months available for this.
Most of this will fall on those applying for new jobs and E-2 VISAs. those renewing VISAs will probably be spared (fingers crossed).
bare in mind that it isn't their intent to drive away sane qualified teachers, so they can't be too unreasonable regarding what they ask us to do (let's hope). I'll jump a few hoops if need be, for I'd like to remain here another year. However, if it gets to be too much of a headache, then I'll check out now. |

I was referring to your internal system, not your hair. 1 week is minimum to be out of your internal system and up to 6 weeks if you are fat, a heavy smoker or eat fatty foods.
There are natural vitamins than can be taken that will rid your internal system of THC in a week.
In the US, marijuana drug tests are violating due to the fact they don't test for drugs, they test for the non-inhibiting cannabinoids.
For the original topic, as far as this is concerned, it shouldn't matter as long as someone is smart enough to stop smoking before they come to Korea. Korea is concerned with people breaking Korean laws. If someone doesn't smoke weed in Korea, they won't be a problem in Korea. |
