 |
|
| I recently renewed my passport and am curious to what the process is to transfer my e-2 to it?. I imagine a trip to immigration will be in order?, or is there a simpler way? Any advice would be appreciated. |

Unfortunately you NEED to make the trip to immigration and LEGALLY you are obligated to do it within 14 days of your receiving your new passport.
They will:
a) IF you are American, they will simply change the data in the computer and take a copy of your information page.
b) IF you are NOT American, they will change the data in your computer, take a copy of your information page AND move your re-entry permit to your new passport (assuming you had one). If you don't have one they won't add anything to your passport.

First as opposed to what? In Japan, I had to go to a ward office, but that was after going to immigration. In Korea, immigration is the ONLY place you need to go to. |
