Ok......
When your passport expires, your visa expires. Immigration can't be sure you will get a new passport from your embassy, so they generally make your visa run to the end of your passport (IF your contract ends past the date of expiration of your passport at the time you go to immigration). Had a coworker who went through the whole thing, but forgot to renew his visa in the new passport. Forgot for 2 months!!! Luckily, our school was on good terms with that dept., and he simply had to pay a fine of 300,000 won. They could have fined him ALOT more, and kicked him out of the country. For good.
When my passport expired, and I was still on contract, I got a new passport and went to immigration. Actually the school took care of it, but I had been warned by immigration that I had to renew my visa with the new passport when I got my visa extention. |

Well I'm back to one passport again now, but I guess theres an overlap period if your passport expires before your visa & carrying both is probably sensible. Updating my visa recently, I got a stamp in my new passport (all in Korean) with a blank where the woman wrote in my old passport number & stamped the new expiry date for my visa.
Theoretically the computer at immigration at the airport tells all, but if in doubt, I suggest you carry both.
This from a guy who breezes through immigration on returning every time (touch wood). |

Interesting. I reported my passport lost and replaced it. It wasn't really lost, but the reasons why I wanted and needed to replace my passport aren't worth going into here.
At any rate, I didn't know you needed to report the new passport, so I didn't. My next trip out of the country was at the end of my E2 term, and I left without any problems. Just handed in my ARC.
May be different for someone who wants to leave and come back on the same E2, though. |

| Good grief! YES! You have to get your visa & re-entry permit(if applicable) stamped in your new passport! End of story! |
