| If you get a visa for employer1 can you then come to Korea and work for Employer 2? |

| If you will be working under an E-2 visa you must transfer the visa from employer1 to employer2 |

Maybe.
It is possible by either of 3 ways.
1) Do it illegally without telling employer 1 or immigration. As with anything that is illegal there are risks involved including but not limited to any or a combination of: fines, detention, loss of stay (exit order or deportation).
2) Transfer to employer 2 and say good-bye to employer 1. (easier said than done).
3) Add a 2nd place of employment to your ARC. It requires permission from employer 1, approval from immigration (with attendant paperwork) and the 2nd employer must legally be able to hire you.

This would be for an E-1 visa from Employer 1. I guess the best would be just to work under the table and save and then go to Japan to change out the visa a month or two later. |

Subject: my choice to work illegally or not
Why do you care if Iwork illegally?
I work without avisa illegally is up to me I think. |
Well, evidently you're not thinking. What do I care if you work illegally? Well, how about the simple fact that when you get arrested for it, you'll hit the news? Then when you're deported, you'll be in the news again? And what will these news accounts say?
| Quote: |
| Native English instructor caught working illegally. |
| Quote: |
| Native English speaking criminal deported. |
Then there will be the fun commentary from a certain small, yet influential, segment of Korean society:
| Quote: |
| Native Speaking English instructors have no respect for Korean law. |
That commentary to be followed by politicians with:
| Quote: |
| New government regulations aimed to reduce visa violation and other crimes by NETs. |
Oh, it matters to me a great deal if you, or any other person bent on pulling the moronic stunt you're selfishly considering, comes to Korea as an NET and breaks the law. It matters a great deal to those of us who are following Korean law. Korean laws regarding our visas and renewals of same have been made more difficult because of people like you. The situation you wish to find yourself in is a result of other people doing what you're considering.
If you haven't gotten the clue yet, maybe a blunt statement will get through to you: DON'T COME TO KOREA AND SCREW THINGS UP FOR OTHER PEOPLE!
FYI: The site moderators here do care if someone advocates engaging in illegal behavior. |
