My uni said today that they would visit the Suwon immigration ofice this week to renew my visa. I'm a little concerned because this is the last week to renew and I don't want them to make a mistake. Has anyone else had their school do this for them?

Youre supposed to sign stuff

You should go with them just in case, you definintely need to sign the application.... My new uni didn't even know that I could renew in country so don't count on uni's knowing all the rules....

I can sympathize, I'm running around today trying to get paperwork from my old school.... One of the K-teachers talked to immi and was told they don't HAVE TO give me the papers.... What she failed to understand is that if they don't give me the papers I have to leave the country to renew which I can't do and still start Friday..... The new immigration rule changes are great, but it would be nice if schools knew about them... Gotta love Korea....

looks like it worked out. the uni went to the imm. office today with no problems. I will get my arc back on friday.

I can get my card on Friday from the admin dept at my scool on friday because I was too busy on wed and thurs is a holiday.

If I were you, I'd call Immigration to ask them when my visa expires just to make sure that they didn't just pencil in a new date at the back themselves.

Just got back my arc today. no problems. got the stamp on the back. Nice to see that if you are renewing with the same school, you don't need to go to immigration yourself.
