|
|
I am going to China for a short trip. I am here on a single entry E-2 visa.
How can I get this changed so that I can leave the country and return?
What are the consequences of simply leaving and then returning without having gotten a stamp on my visa that allows me another entry into the country?
I have gotten it changed at the airport on my last visa when I went on a trip, but I dont really have a lot of time at the airport this time. Can I get it done at immigration in Mokdong?
Thanks. |

YES! Go to immigration. Or go to the airport early. Immigration is the best, safest option. You won't be let back into Korea without a multi-entry stamp. |

You can get your re-entry permit at the airport or at your local immigration office. You can also do it on-line ( http://www.g4f.go.kr ).
If you do NOT get a re-entry permit, your visa will be voided when you leave and you will NOT be allowed to work upon your return (without getting a NEW E2 visa). |

A question i would like answered is this -
I orginally got a single entry and went to the Immi guys and got a multiple entry - this was a peice of paper put into my passport saying "multiple entry until " my E2 visa end date. Now if i renew with the same employer for another year does my visa revert back to a single once this date written on the sticker has passed ( ie my orginal e2 visa end date) or is my current e2 always going to be a multiple entry e2 as long as it is still with the current employer?
thanks |
