 |
|
I've been trying to find out about this online..
I've always heard people say that if you get permission from your original employer (sponsor), then E-2 visaholders can go to immigration and get permission to work at a second location.
Does anyone have any links for this, or can say with 100% certainty that this is an actual law?
Thanks.... |

Yes - it has been the law for many many years now..
(1) You have to find a second job...
explain to the new employer that you already have an E-2 visa and would like them to add their place of employment onto your visa as "an additional place of employment"
(Most employer love this - because there is no need to apply for a new visa and no need to give you a flight to Japan for visa-run etc etc)
(2) Your current (original) employer has to give you the "additional place of employment" piece of paper stamped/signed and ALSO your current timetable schedule...
Take those two documents to immigration along with you passport, ARC, and 60,000won and you will be given a second visa (in your passport and also on the back of your ARC)...
ITs all legal..
However...
(1) If you work for a public school - you can only add on another Public school - you CANNOT add on a "Private institute"
(If you work for a "private institute" you can add on either another private institute or a public school...
(2) The second position has to have LESS hours than your first (original) position... (if the second position has more hours - then just ask your employer to "fake" you timetable and make it look like more hours"....
ALSO note - when your original visa finishes - it also tends to cancel out your additional visa... |

Do you have any official links to this? I'm trying to help my employer out, but they think it's only for public schools, which we're not. |
