 |

What is the procedure for transferring my E2 visa to another school?
What is the minimum time limit?
If my boss won't give me a letter of release, and I can't transfer, and I just have to leave, how long do I have to wait until I can apply for a new E2 visa? I've heard from some people that you have to wait until the original year is up. Others said that you can get a new E2 visa as soon as the first one is cancelled. Anyone have some official info on this?
If my boss doesn't pay into my pension or in some other way breaks the contract or law, do i still need a letter of release to transfer to another school? |

Have you been fired? If so, your boss has to give you a letter of release. If he won't, contact the Labor Relations Commission.
As far as transferring, I've heard you have to be at least 6 months in to do this. Otherwise you need a new visa. If you have, do whatever is necessary to get your LOR and your new boss can take care of the rest. |

I transferred my visa from a gangnam public school to GEPIK publci school at 5 months 3 weeks. ( yeah got fired a week shy of the 6 months so had to pay all back..).. but no trouble to transfer.. they even give you 30 days to do it~
I went out on a vacation came back and dealt with it a couple of weeks later~ |

The only situation where an employer HAS TO give a letter of release is if there is a condition in the contract. If there is no mention of an LOR in your contract, your employer is NOT required to provide an LOR - it's their choice.
If you are fired or resign, then your boss is supposed to cancel your visa which would allow you to apply for a new visa. Sometimes they dont do this and then you're stuck until you're current visa expires. Also, if you leave the country and tell immi you are finished, immi is supposed to cancel the visa.
If you are lucky enough to get an LOR, your new period of employment (the start date in the contract, but it doesn't mean you have to start working right away)must be consecutive to the end date on your LOR i.e. there can be no gaps in employment.
Piece of advice, don't tell your current employer where you plan on working next because there have been cases where they will call and interfere with your new job (spread bad rumors and convince your new employer not to hire you). They do not need that info, they just need to provide a letter with your current job info and end date - nothing else. |
