No. E-2 is a work visa. You can cancel it, but then you have to leave Korea. |

I heard that SA's can get an extention on their work visa for tourist purposes.
Is that true?
Does it apply to Americans? |

I don't know what an "SA" is; however, an E-2 visa can be extended for non-work purposes (for up to 30 days) until the date of your ticket leaving K-land. |

Would I have to go to immigration, or can I do that online?
Also... how far in advance do I have to do it? My stinking school won't give me even a few hours off to get down to immigration. |

"SA"... South African. The ones up near me call themselves "Es-Ays" |
