Sorry for asking another question about my visa.
I have an e2 visa that expires in early March. I have been offered a job that starts in March and is a two year contract.
Is it possible to transfer my current one year e2 visa to my new job for 2 years? Will the transferred visa become 2 years in duration?
Also, what documents do I need from my new employer to transfer the visa?
Sorry again for asking such similar questions to my previous post, but I need to solve my immigration problem asap and you guys have been a real help.
Thanks. |

Yes, you can transfer your visa.
No, the extension will only be for 1 year. You will need to extend it again to complete the 2nd year of your contract.
documents for a transfer of visa (assuming your previous contract is completed/completing):
ARC
passport
new contract
application
fees (about 180k won after Jan 2014 for a change of employer and extension of stay).
* business registration of new employer (copy)
* guarantor form (sponsorship by new employer).
You will need the same documents again (but lower fees) for the extension next year.

Thanks again for the reply.
Do I go to the visa office in the vicinity of my job or my apartment? By that I mean if I live in Incheon and my job is in Seoul do I go to the Incheon immigration or do I go to the Seoul immigration office?
Also, does it matter which of the Seoul immigration offices I go to?
Regarding the documents I need to submit to immigration: is the contract required to be in Korean, or is English okay? And do you know the Korean names for the guarantor form and business registration of new employer?
Thanks ttompatz. |

It's possible to get a 2 year visa. I think the more important question is: Are there any advantages for YOU to get a two year visa? |

I see the question is directed towards ttompatz but incase he doesn't answer, i'll tell you what I know.
You would usually go to the immigration office for the area where you live.
The contract can be in English. That's no problem.
For the Korean names of those documents, if your employer doesn't already know the procedure, it would be best if he called immigration so that he can hear this information directly from someone else who can answer all his questions and in Korean nonetheless. |
