 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.
