 |
|
My ARC card expired 14/4/07 about 3 months and 10 days ago.
I renewed my Visa same school and have E2 Visa but nobody there told me to renew my ARC. (I know, I know, I should just know these things)
I called immigration they said I have to pay 500,000 fine!!!
anybody ever had ARC expire and what happened? If I just leave it until I go home will it cause problems at airport immigration when I leave?
thanks for any help.... |

1) check the back of your ARC. Is there anything written there? Usually renewing you visa invovles immi writing some stuff on the back of your ARC. Did you go to immi to renew or did you boss tell you "oh silly foreigner, don't worry. I take care you. No problem."
2) If tehre's nothing on the back of your ARC. Go to immi. Watch the clerks for a while. Pick out which one looks the nicest. Tell them you are stupid and very, very sorry. Then beg for mercy.
Good luck. |

actually on the back, in the bottom corner under box number 1 it says
체류기간 SU
period of 2008
stay 03.31
is it possible this means renewed?? Or can I claim thats what I thought it meant? |

Means period of stay (the Korean part)
Then they say the same in English
Then how long you can stay for...in this case 03/31/2008
So...you're safe.
No worries...back to the drinking  |
