Has anyone tried this? My visa expires at then end of June but I want to do some summer camps. I would prefer not to do a visa run for a C4 but don't know if they even do transfers from E2 to C4. Also, is a C4 tied to one camp? Because I was thinking of doing several since some are only a week. Do I have to go to immigration and add each one onto my visa?

if you want a c4 you will have to do a visa run. if you want to work a temp. job like a camp then you will have to get written permission from your current employer.

Immigration does not give you the visa...another Korean consulate gives it to you outside of the country and the visa is for one camp. Make sure that the E-2 is cancelled on your visa prior to leaving Korea at the airport and turn in the ARC.

So I can't transfer my current E2 visa to a C4 before it expires? If I work two or three camps, do I have to get a C4 for each or just add extra camps onto the first one?

No. Immi in Korea gives you the visa confirm number for the E-2 and a Korean consulate gives you the actual visa;
C-4 has no confirm number...contract, photo, and the visa fee is given to a Korean consulate Outside of Korea. Two separate entities.

The C-4 is for a specific contract..specific camp. perhaps you could take all the contracts with you to Fukuoka or wherever you are going..BETTER yet..call the Korean consulate.
