i pulled a runner two years ago and now i just interviewed at a public school in the same province... they want to hire me, my current visa was processed in Seoul (so far as i know) and my current job is in Busan... as will the future public school job (knock on wood)... and also the province of the runner as well...

i felt extremely guilty after the runner but they lied to me about location and numerous other things... i left within two days of arriving... it was a hard thing to do... i felt like sh*t but...

anyway, will this bite me in the ass years later, the public school is totally awesome, my dream job here if ever there was such a thing... please, please, please God don't let what i did before screw this up...

If you got your new visa what are you worried about?

Not sure, but I think pulling a runner gets you blocked for three years?

I really don't know tho, someone who was probably misinformed told me that while she was drunk one night. SO many people do runners and work somewhere else that I can't see how it would be the case.

Good luck

It doesn't matter what immigration office issued it. Do you have an E2 visa in your passport that has your school's name on it? If so you're in the clear.

I did a runner and came back after the term of my first contract was up, (5 months) after that I came back and had no problems.

You should be fine.
