Situation: I have been accepted for an MA at a Korean uni. I've just come to the end of a gepik contract, and my visa finishes on June 28th (13 month E2 visa). The MA course starts in September. Kimmi have told me I can switch to a D2 visa before my E2 ends with the right documents.

Question 1: Is it still the case that a person must be on a D2 visa for 6 months before they can legally work, and must have a document giving permission from their uni to do so?

Q2: Can the D2 holder work anywhere, or must he or she get permission from immigration for each and every job?

Q3: For those with experience, is it better to start the clock now on the D2, or would taking the D10-C4 route and picking up some money on summer camps be worthwhile?

Q4: My classes will mostly be in the afternoon, Monday to Friday. What are the chances of getting an evening and weekend job in Seoul that would sponsor an E2, and could I study on that?

Thank you in advance for any input.

4) Yes, you can work on an E2 and ADD an activity not covered by your status of sojourn (study) with permission of your employer.
