I was given notice and my last day of work is March 31st. I never bothered getting my alien card and I have (or had) till April 5th to get one. I'm assuming that I can stay in Korea until April 5th, but that I can get an exit order that will give me until April 30th to leave the country.

With a letter of release, can I go into immigration anytime now to get the exit order?

Do you really need an exit order if the school is letting you go? As for your ARC card, how did they pay you? You need one to open a bank account.

An exit order gives you 30 days more in-country after your last teaching day. I suppose you could just go to the airport and hand in your alien card, but I want to apply for another job which requires cancellation of my alien card. I never got an alien card for this job. With my last job, I had to cancel my ARC with my previous job and do another visa run. After the visa run, you are given 90 days to get your new alien card. Since I was let go about a month after I started (I cost them too much money), I didn't want to bother going for and paying for the medical to get my ARC. Wouldn't make sense, really.

I've had a bank account here since early 2005.
