Hello

This question has probably been asked a hundred times before but here it goes anyway. My wife and I left a job in Seoul a few months back eight months into our contract due to some "irreconcilable differences" with managment. My question is can we come back? Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone

Well, if you were eight months into the contract and it happened a few months ago (assuming you had a 1 year contact) your original contract will expire pretty soon. You can come back and get a new contract and visa after the old one expires.
If you don't want to wait, you'd probably need a release letter from your old employer. Getting that depends on your current relationship with him/her. And that really depends on how you left. If you just walked away without notice or monetary settlements, they probably won't be too keen to help you out.

Do a search on here. You'll find lots of info. You're right, it has been asked a hundred times before.

Yep, what Howard Roark said. Once your visa has expired, you can be issued with a new E2 visa... if not you need that letter of release from your boss which given your circumstances, it will probably be difficult to get this.

You can come back on a tourist visa at anytime.
