Plummeting from the farthest galaxy, a meteor of mentality lightyears away, swooshing away stars, smashing asunder mountainous morons, IT"S ROCK!!
Awaiting the next journey to middle-Earth Korea, now sending SOS, "Rock to planet pea-heads! Rock to planet pea-heads! Come in, over!
How many years must you wait to return to Korea if you'd been deported for overstaying your visa? Is it 5? Or is it impossible?
Deported 2005, now thinking about earning a few bucks after spending four years in tightwad Taiwan.
Over and out."
What's more, is a MA TESOL sufficient enough to teach at a university or highschool in Korea? |

Were you DEPORTED (and banned) or simply given an exit order?
Makes a HUGE difference.
If deported (sent home at their expense and possibly banned (labeled persona non grata)) you can probably return BUT you will face hurdles getting a visa (including a consular visit/interview in your home country) and the risk of denial is high.
If you were given an exit order (told to leave and paid your own flight) then yes, you can return, you WILL need a consular interview in your home country EVERY time you apply for a visa but you can get a visa and return for work.
IF you were actually convicted of a crime (in court) rather than a departmental fine from immigration you will be denied an E2.

I was deported at my own expense. It's been five years, thought I'd give Korea a try again. But I'm still a little confused.
If I get a job in Taiwan, would I have to do all the visa work back here in the States then? Usually the Koreans fly you there and after 90 days you get your working visa, no?
But thanks for the info. I didn't commit a crime or anything, just overstayed due to negligence on my part. Looking for a new teaching venue as I'd found Taiwan too fussy, finicky, and tight.
Are you 100% sure that if I left at my own expense I can return? |

If you left at your own expense it would have been an "exit order" (told to leave) not a deportation (sent away at their expense).
As long as a ban wasn't indicated on your passport (with a matching duplicate in your immigration file) you are fine and you can obtain a new E2. People commit overstays and do return to work as teachers but the violation does pose some problems.
Under current E2 rules anyone with an immigration violation (overstay, illegal work, etc.) or applying for their E2 for the 1st time MUST have a consular interview in their home country when applying for an E2 (there are exceptions but they are few and far between).
AND no, people don't usually fly here and get a work visa after 90 days (work illegally on a tourist stamp). Things like that get you in trouble with immigration and get you "deported".
