Hi everyone.
I'm finding it very hard to get specific information so hopefully somebody here can help.

I have almost finished my first year teaching in Korea. I want to stay for another year but change companies. Apparantly this causes some visa issues. If anyone has any info they could provide regarding having to leave, renew, rules, regulations etc I would be SO grateful. I'm getting many conflicting opinions and can't find much official that's for returning teachers.

Please help!!

Thanks in advance Very Happy

i did it last year. you have to get a release form from your current school, and some other type of letter from the new one (they should know what it is). there were a few documents in all, and i had to take them to immigration in omokyo and pay some fee for changing my visa over to the new employer.

Do you mean you left your current job before the contract ended? Or do you still have to do that if you have fulfilled your first contract?
