 |
|
Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions about visas that I'd really appreciate any advice on.
At the moment I have an E7 visa, working full-time, for one company.
What I would like to do is, either:
- Switch to working part-time for my current company, and work part-time for another company in Korea.
OR
- Switch to working part-time for my current company, and work the rest of the time as a freelance worker working for an overseas (not in Korea) company.
Are either of these scenarios possible?
Many thanks for any advice. |

Both are possible.
Case 1 with written permission of your employer and immigration.
Case 2 with permission of your employer (assuming the 2nd case that you are paid in Korea).
Without your employer's permission both cases can get you fired.
Without immigration's blessing the 1st case can get you deported.

Thanks a lot for your reply. In the second case, I would be paid in UK. How would that affect things? |

With your boss's permission = non issue.
Without your boss's permission = up to the boss. Wouldn't be the first time someone was fired over it. Labor laws won't protect you.

One other question if you don't mind. How does an employer 'give permission'? Do they have to contact the immigration office / give me some kind of document? Not sure how this works and pretty sure my employer won't know either. |

for out-of-country work, a simple letter with their signature and school stamp will suffice and provide protection from an illegal termination of employment over it.
For in-country work you need a similar letter but then you need to go to immigration with that along with your new contract, ARC, passport, application form, fee (60k), 2nd employer's business registration, and other documents as required for the visa class (E1/2/7/etc).
