TUB i am looking at my passport right now. there are three "permisson for alteration or addition of employment place" stamps in it. two are from dodgy mofo and one is from a job i did last summer for the government.

this is exactly what they llook like:
permisson for alteration or addition of employment place
with "chu ga heo ga" circled
ho ga bon ho: IC blah blah
facts of permit/ ho ga nay young: seoul blah blah cho deung hak yo
date of permit: blah
chief incheon immigration office
dates: blah

oops! i just put 2 L's in front of "look". guess i must be lying!

I'm doubting neither of you, but I'm curious what the point of such trolling or BS-ing would be.

Stop trolling please.


Well, I dug out my old passport because my curiousity was starting to get the better of me - and I worked at the same Shawshank. The oppressed must stick together.

My passport has 2 school stamps in addition to my F2 stamp. And my ARC also has a myriad of E2/F2 scribblings on the back.



Funny, mine only has the E-2 visas.

To advance one's personal agenda? Funny how he suddenly remembered his passport, when it was pointed out to him that he couldn't possibly be allowed to work at five different places. And what's up with that? He never checked his passport between the time he worked there and now?

Me too. I was listening to Beverly Hills by Weezer. Not a big weezer fan, but the song is cool.

May depend on whether you left the country or were issued a new card or something. My card (on the front) shows "E-2" and the address for the place I began working for 3.5 years ago. I don't work there now. The back(and my passport) tells a different story. They're both a mess. Maybe they're getting cheap and not issuing new cards as much as before or maybe it's just that I've been in-country for too long? Anyway, I'm not picking sides; however, I think it's possible that fancypants could've missed or not realized that there was a stamp on both things. And what about if the owner is trying to pester and pressure him and make him do illegal things? Not everyone knows exactly what's legal/illegal, but I think most of us are starting to get a bit better. No real news here, and I'm not trying to take a shot at the Koreans, but there have been many times that I had to say "No." 10-20 times before the persistent one left me alone.

You claim you had four additional workplaces. That means you were working for FIVE different places (at least that's what your card would say). Immigration would not allow this.


They can and do allow it. I've seen the back of an ARC which was completely covered in E2s.

From what I know of E-2's there is a certain amount of hours you can work.
There may be exceptions but I should think they are rare.

Where is Gord when you need him? He's usually the expert on Immigration law, I'd be interested on his take on this story.

Mine is a mess of alterations and extentions on the back of the card, so much so that my latest E2 permission was scribbled on the top and around the side of the card, around the box they usually write the permissions in.

It's an F2-1 and extends over three E2 issuances going back to 2003 (and it'll be replaced when I renew my F2-1 visa later this year), but I'd be rather surprised if you could have four or five concurrent permissions running off the one basic E2.

Just a minor point but that's the address you lived at, surely? The card should have your registered residential address on the front instead of workplace.
