|
|
Hello, my visa was renewed for a 2nd year in 2008. But there was a one week between jobs so I am not sure the exact date my visa expires and when I need the new one to take place.
Since they only stamp the back for year two or more, how can one tell when it expires? |

Look on the front (of your ARC). |

The stamp on the back is supposed to have the Year/Month/Day of the new expiration date. I just checked my ARC and the three stamps all have that date. There's room for three more extensions. |

I think it'd be a good idea to return to your local Immigration office and have them rectify that. It really is supposed to have the latest expiration date on the back. |

If the OP switched jobs and had a week off between jobs, it was not a 'renewal' and there would be no date on the back.
There should be two dates on the front of the ARC:
- the date of entry; and,
- the date of expiry of the period of sojourn. |

Right. My post above refers to those who renew at the same job. That's when the Immigration office is supposed to annotate the reverse of the card. |

Well I did switch from Dague to Pohong city. Dague gave me a letter to give immigration . I kept the same card.
On the back theres a few square boxes. I guess each box is spamped if you stay another year. Those stamps don't have dates. The schools name in black is written in korean.
I only ask because I don't want to get in trouble. The immigration office is 2+ hours away. They don't know English. And last year there was a whole mishap. My boss last year had me working 12/12/08 as my last date but the visa expired on 12/10/08. So I got in trouble, and I dont want itto happen again. |

Oh, I'm not hacking on you.
I'm just trying to get my posts up to 25, so that I can send PM's.
God it's tedious.
(That's 1 more! Cheers!)

Henri,
listen #1 cardinal ha-na, ordinal il
and #2 cardinal dul, ordinal i
repeat #3 cardinal set, ordinal sam
Respond to each and you'll be three (maybe six) closer to your goal.  |
