 |
|
Hey guys,
I did a search for this but the search page is blank. Maybe the search feature is down, i have no idea.
Anyway a recruiter just told me the the rules of the E2 visa changed this year. Seemingly you were only ever able to have one job with the employer who sponsored your visa.
He says that as of this year the rules have changed and you now don't need permission from your boss and that it's legal to work a second job....like a kindergarten in the morning while you do 3-10pm at night at your hagwon.
Can anyone confirm???
(sorry if this has been discussed before - i did try to search) |

You still need permission from your sponsor (your main employer if you are on an E2) and still need to report the addition to immigration within 14 days of the addition.

Don't ask don't tell seems to work just fine.
Although the ninnies on this board will compare it to murder and rape. |

Can we get some more detail?
What does this permission entail?
What facts and details have to go into this letter?
I want a side job, like just about everyone here. |

Well i rang immigration today and they said you cant work at a kindy if you work at a hagwon. She didn't speak great english so i'm not sure she knew what i wanted.
Anybody know someone who got permission to work at a kindy??? |

I was able to get permission to host a daily radio show, but I think that was partly because the president of the institute where I worked felt my being a DJ could bring postive publicity to the institute or something.
I have a couple of friends though, who taught children and tried to get similar 'on the side' type jobs.
Both of their bosses said "no" to anything related to teaching, but if they wanted to work at Dunkin Donuts or something; that would be OK if it didn't interfere with their teaching job.
I've never heard of a teaching institute giving permission for their employee to teach at another teaching institute--maybe it happens, but I can't imagine.
It makes sense actually. Why would one institute(or hakwon, or whatever)
want their teacher to give their awesome services to a competing institute? Especially since #1 paid for you to get out here, is paying for your housing,pension,etc.
Look into extra work not related to teaching, you'll have a better shot.
Good Luck! |

You still need permission from your sponsor (your main employer if you are on an E2) and still need to report the addition to immigration within 14 days of the addition.

The addition can be for any type of job? Say, freelance writing/editing for a Korean company? |

No, it has to be within your permitted activities for your status of sojourn. If you want an exception you need permission from K-immi first.

That's true--
For my radio station gig I received permission from the director of the institute, and after that, the radio station had to get permission from k-immi.
They then added this light green sticker in my passport which says:
"Permission for Engaging In Activities Not Covered By the Status of Sojourn."
This was NOT an easy process, either. |
