OK. So I'm just reading it wrong. That's good news. |

If you want to renew or get a new contract and your passport has fewer months than the contract, your ARC/visa will only be good until your passport expires. When you get your new passport, you have to go back to immigration to get the "full" visa on your card and in your new passport. I renewed mine almost a year early since my visa expired in February and my passport in June. I didn't want the hassle of going to immigration a second time.
As to the OP's question: Why would ANY government want to keep a foreigner who didn't want to stay??? |

WRONG!!!!! I got my US passport renewed in Oct (it was to expire in May) just went to immigration filled out a form telling them my passport number had changed, they entered the new info in their computer, issued me a new re-entry permit to put in my new passport and that was it. no new ARC, nothing added to my ARC and, no new visa. When I went back to the states I showed my new passport with my now old ARC and had no problems.
Man the misinformation on this site is amazing |

Hey! This happened to my collegue. When he went to renew his visa, his passport was due to expire within the next 6 months. They only stamped his passport AND wrote on his ARC card the last date that his visa was valid! He had to take his new passport to immigration after he renewed it. It's NOT misinformation...it's a fact!
hogwonguy1979: When did your contract/OLD visa expire? If it was between October and May, then of course this wasn't an issue! |

| Did a bunch of posts to this thread get deleted? If so, why? There was nothing controversial about it. At any rate, as I think I clarified yesterday (in a post that has mysteriously vanished) I did in fact make a trip to Immigration to register my new passport number after I got my passport renewed in Korea. |
