So I've just been let go. I've got a week to pack up and clear out, although I'm still expected to work. I had extended my visa for an extra 6 months but this will only make 2. My question is, can I still hang out in Korea and not work? I do still have 4 months on my visa extension. Do I have to go to immigration and report the situation, and possibly have to turn in my alien card?

What do I do here? Do I have to leave the country and come back?
Does anyone know?

Cheers

PS: This is not a gripe letter. Student numbers are down, so they want me to leave early. I'm quite happy to do so, no hard feelings at all.

There's some really great information here.

What to do when you get fired

I think it depends on whether or not you place of employment cancels your E2 Visa. If they don't cancel it then I think you can stay for the remainder of your E2 visa. But if you want to work elsewhere, you need that golden letter of release from them.
