 |
|
| I'm working at a hogwan with an E2 visa and I've just been offered a part time job at an elementary school. Does the immigration department allow one to work 2 jobs, given that both employers consent to it? If so, what do I need to do? |

Do it without letting your hagwon boss know.
It's illegal to work at two places without the consent of your E-2 employer and immigration. However, since you'll be teaching at a public school, immigration won't be bothering you.
But get paid in cash (get paid on a weekly basis) because if they decide to not pay you, there's nothing you can do about it since you're there working illegally. |

When a foreigner desires to change or add working places under their present status of sojourn, he/she must apply for and obtain permission to do so in advance(article 21-1). For example, this permission is required when an English teacher wishes to teach English at a different language institute from the one originally designated, or desires to teach English not only at a language institute originally designated but also at a different language institute under the same status of sojourn.
(2) Required Documents and Application Places
For permission to change or add working places, an applicant should visit in person a district or branch office (Ujongbu, Ulsan, Donghae) which has jurisdiction over the place of sojourn with the following documents.
ㅇ Passport and Alien registration card
ㅇ Application form(refer to Annex 14)
ㅇ Materials indicating in concrete terms the nature of the activity to be engaged in (e.g., copy of employment contract, brochure describing the business of the employer, etc., refer to Annex 14)
- A personal reference should be presented by a new employer.
ㅇ Fee (60,000 won)
<Example〉
◇ When an English teacher holding an E-2 status(Teaching Foreign Languages) desires to add a working place: passport, alien registration card, application form, contract paper, release paper and reference are required.
- Fee : 60,000 won
