| I think you need a letter of release from your current job. Otherwise you may have to quit and get an exit order or something like that. |

| The absolute quickest way to get out of your visa is to buy a plane or ferry ticket and hand in your ARC on your way out of the country. Make sure you make it clear to the immigration officer that you are not coming back; ihe/she should write "Cancelled" or "Used" on the visa in your passport and make the appropriate notations on your electronic record. |

Have your new employer submit an application for a new visa as soon as you leave. It'll take a week or two to get it approved and get a visa issuance number from Immi
As for what you do during that time? Take a vacation outside Korea or come back in on a tourist visa to wait it out. Either way, you'll have to make a visa run once the visa issuance number comes through. Hopefully you've been in Korea before and/or long enough that you won't have to return home for a consular interview.
Good luck! |
