My contract and visa are up on August 31st. I work at a public school.

How many days do I have until I have to leave the country?

Thanks.

If your visa (ARC) expires on the 31st then you MUST either:

a) Leave the country by midnight on the 31st or
b) Get an extension BEFORE the 31st.

Failure to do either A or B will result in a delay (of up to several hours) at the airport when you do try to depart as well as a fine (of 100k won or more) that must be paid before they will let you leave.

Your local immigration office & their phone number should both appear on your ARC card. I went in to Uijeongbu, & got an extension until the 21 May, when my flight left for Beijing. Bring a copy of your airline ticket too or at least the phone number of your travel agent.
