pretty sure my uni admin is just talking outta their ***es as usual, but let's hear your experience...
for those on F2:
when you left your employer, did you have to submit the follow to "report your leaving" with immigration:
- 여권사본 copy of passport
- 외국인등록증사본(앞, 뒤) copy of registration card
- 명함판 사진 1매 picture
- 위임장 a letter allowing some admin to submit this shit to immigration
instead of you
F2s don't report employment anymore, or in this case, unemployment, right? |

| The employment of an F2 is not regulated by immigration. You dont submit anything because you dont get a work visa. Your F2 is your work visa. |

I quit - that was the end of it.
My boss told me I couldn't quit. I told him it's June now, you better start looking for a new teacher. The day before the meeting at the end of august I got a text message reminding me to come to the meeting. Ironically I was at the meeting of my current employer.
I even sent an email 3 weeks before the beginning of the semester reminding him. I guess he just didn't believe I was leaving. |

| Holders of F-2 and F-5 visas do not have to report anything to Immigration concerning employment. Your boss is wrong or lieing to you. |

As an F2, I've quit jobs and never had to report it.
Ever. |

Your boss is mistaken or outright lying to you. Just tell him that you are NOT interested and he can report you as a runaway if he wants.
More likely wants to add you to the teachers blacklist on the hakwon association website.
Don't bother making the submission. |

Immigration wouldn't accept those forms if you gave them to them. The thing is that many educational institutions over here still don't really grasp the difference between F2's and E2's. I just tell them that they can treat me the same as a F4 for all intents and purposes.
And I wouldn't hand those forms over to my boss. |

| An F2 is the proverbial jumpkick to the back of the collective hagwon bosses heads. It just lays them out with no chance of retaliation. HOW YOU LIKE THAT GARBAGE MR.CHOI...HOW YOU LIKE THAT!!!!! (sorry if I didn't include you Mr. Kim) |

It's not just educational institutions that aren't aware of the differences. Nobody seems to have much of a clue. The other day the bank guy tried to convince me that if I wanted to send money overseas I would have to bring in a copy of my contract, even after I repeatedly told him I wasn't on an E2.  |

| At least the head hunters and Owners have heard of the F2. I have met with serious headhunters (it's their job to know about visas) who had no idea what the F5 visa was. I would like to meet at least one Korean with his head out of his a$$. |

That's an interesting point. I've been told by bank people that "foreigners" must prove that they earned the money from their contracts, before they can send it overseas (presumably since so many of us are illegally working thieves - to the stunned horror of the upright Korean citizenry). What is the actual Korean law? Is it for all "foreigners", or just for E2s? |

Man, I gotta marry me a Korean and get me one of those nifty F2's.
Is there another way to obtain such an honour? |

theoretically yes, practically not a chance. |

It varies. I'm on an E2 and have never been asked for a copy of my contract. Only my ARC card. |
