I am about to accept a job at a Uni, I currently have a D10. What documents do I need to transfer it back to E2?
Just the employment contract? |

It takes about 30 minutes to change your status from E2 to D10 or D10 to E2.

How many hours to convince the officer to give you a D10?  |

Good question spoken in jest. Another update for those interested in the D-10. I have directly from the horse's mouth (someone not in Seoul) that he was treated rather badly at Kimmi. They blocked his attempts at a D-10 after his contract had finished and put him through what sounds like interrogation.
He is a responsible bloke in his 30s who worked in the public school system in North America. Hardly a backpacker skiving off. They told him to look harder while his permission on his waygugin card was valid.
He told them he was honestly looking hard but he wasn't going to take jobs with long hours for poor pay in small hagwons, and needed more time to look for a job that would use his long experience wisely. He's really laid back but said he went out of Kimmi almost shaking in anger. They told him to come back just before his date on his waygugin card ended and as he said, it was too touch and go then, too close to his permission expiring.
They just rushed him out of there and wouldn't look at his paper on which he'd written questions in Hangeul because his speaking aint great. The worst thing about it, he said, was the fact that nobody at his old Kimmi office would speak English to him to clear up things.
Those of you who live in Seoul are pretty spoilt - despite Kimmi staff having to take a high level test that includes English, I've never met one who could or would communicate to me in English apart from 'Hello'. Before you can say that we all should know enough Korean, I do, but there are many foreigners who just can't or dare not speak about legal issues like visas in Korean in case they get it wrong and make a big mistake.
He is a well mannered bloke and I don't believe he did anything wrong at Kimmi. he walked out and booked a flight back home, he has left Korea now. He said the way they treated him was completely unsympathetic to the fact that he needed certainty as he didn't want to overstay his visa.
A Kimmi fail.  |
