 |
|
Greetings,
A few months ago I quit a job, I had a single entrance visa and left the country thus cancelling said visa. I'm now looking for a new job  but I'm a little concerned about not being issued a new visa, a recruiter friend said that I should contact the Daegu Immigration Office to find out. I'll continue to scour the website but does anyone know the best way to contact them about this?
Cheers,
C. |

| For the life of me I can't figure out why people pull runners and then want to come back a couple months later. IMO, stay here and suck it up, or try to find some decent in your home country. |

Why on earth would you want to contact them and willingly red flag yourself, assuming that you are not already flagged? That's even dumber than doing the runner.
If you absolutely MUST try to get back in Korea for a job, why not go to another city and through a different immi office. |

Just working off the recommendation of my recruiter; I would have to contact Daegu because that is the district of my previous place of employment, I guess the contacting is in order to see if I'm red-flagged or not which puts me then in the catch-22 position of bringing their attention to me. I expect to be in another part of the country but it'd make sense that if there is some sort of "red-flag" system then it would be a nation-wide thing...
"That's even dumber than doing the runner"
Keep your opinion. Stay on topic.
Man, that's a difficult thing to do around here. |

| Immigration policy is often enforced arbitrarily. What one immigration officer tells you may not be actual policy, and can change from officer to officer, day to day. Often the best thing in your situation is to simply apply for your visa and see if it's rejected or not. If it is rejected, and you are in a rush to return, try another district as immigration offices seem to have a problem sharing data, and as I said rules are enforced at a whim. |

Also if your recruiter friend does not have immigrations number or he can not contact them for you - he sucks as a recruiter. Come on your recruiter friend makes one phone call or trip to a immigration to find out if some one is hireable means with a bit more work I have a thousand dollars in my pocket. Having immigrations number would be step number 3 in a recruiters job.
Also as ED209 commented can be very true. Consider if you are going back to the same area - Daegu?. Consider a change. It might help a little.
Also get you paperwork started.
Plus a little detail on when into the contract you left. How long has it been since. Heck even you country of origin might help a little. How many contracts have you been on before. Where are you now - on vacation or back in home country.
Still good luck.
Oh yes

First link. Click on Daegu on the little map and you get some numbers. Also you might want to check out the bottom of the page you have a few extra numbers too. |

| Don't contact kimmi. Just apply for another visa and see how it goes as someone said. Since you will be in another province, calling can only make problems where they may have been none. |

Yes apply! Wait the time for a new CRC, get your diploma all gussied up with nice ribbons and seals. Apply for a Visa and get refused or told to wait a few more months and find out that your paper work needs to be done all over again.
Still I agree get your paperwork but double check if getting it will prove useless.
I also commented he may want to try going to a different area it might work. But I hear the Immigration department has the interesting devices called computers which I connected to each other all over the country.
I recommended a different area because of the human / Korean condition of if it is to outside their realm, expertise, area of operation, they will have a tendency to ignore or skip the hard part. Happens a good part of the time but do not rely on it. |

Thanks for the info.
@Skippy: It's not my current recruiter I've been asking about this but a friend from my first time round. I would've thought that she would realise that she could just call them about it but she hasn't offered and I think I've bothered her enough about it . I've not mentioned it to any of my current recruiters...maybe I'll ask the one who's being least productive in finding me work...but then that raises the point that a few have mentioned here: bringing attention to myself with immi. |

Just confirm your new employer has pull. Bribes are still quite commonplace with immigration visas. A payoff can process your visa very fast. For w/e reason you run into a snag then come back on a tourist visa and work for 3 months, save and then try again. Life is too short to work for a bad employer because of fear. |
