I'm sure this question has been asked before ... but here goes anyway - I have an E2 visa and want to resign as per my contract. If I want to take up another contract here in Korea do I just go ahead and do it or must I wait for my current employer to cancel my visa. I don't want to tell the current employer that I am going to take up another contract here. I just want to make sure before I resign and then my visa is not cancelled and I'm not able to sign another contract.

Thanks y'all!

You need one of either of these to happen:

1. You current employer goes into immigration and cancels your visa.

2. You get what is called a "Letter of Release" from you employer for you to take to immigration when you apply for your new job.

Here's a template for a release letter that you can use. There's two actually, one in English and one in Korean. They are both exact translations of each other.

does this mean you don't have to get a new visa, if you get a letter of realease from your current employer before your contract and visa expire??
