So I have been reading around the forum and kind of got overwhelmed trying to find an answer to all questions. Please help! thank you
My hagwon has gone sour and I want to quit and work at a winter camp. how do i handle whole visa situation? Do I need to leave the country to get a new visa? And can my background check just transfer over to the next job because Ialready have a work visa which means the government already is aware that I had a background check? Or do i need to get that background check again and the appostile and everything? What is the best way to go about starting this process that you have found or advise. |

from the asking around i've done, i've always been told that a new job = a new visa. and no, you cannot transfer your background check. a new visa requires a new apostillized background check. i just ended one job early, went home inbetween the old and new contract and had to do all my paperwork again for my new visa. yes, the korean government already had copies of my original diploma and my transcripts and my criminal check....but they want them all again.
no matter if you've been in korea the whole time and have not returned to your country since your last check, somehow korea thinks you could still be a criminal in your country without having been there to commit a crime....korea- not a country of logic |

So if I ran some kind of illegal e-mail scam and targeted people in America...I couldn't be accused of committing a crime if I ever went there because I wasn't in the country? |

So, if someone from Nigeria runs a scam on the internet that affects people in the U.S., they can be charged with a crime in the U.S.?? Don't think so. |

Dumb arguments all round. Urban is right, that I could be guilty of a crime in the US without ever setting foot in the US, however, that could apply to all countries. So, do I need a criminal record check from all every country? |

from what I've heard/read, new job = new visa
have to do the whole process again
and if you're going for a winter camp, make sure it's legit
didnt we just read something about an English camp that got busted (illegal teacher, ie. not the right visa) a while back? |
