Ok, so my crapwon fired me without cause bla bal bla..

A) How can I get my visa canceled without the schools help? I was told by a recruiter if I go to Japan and pay W200,000-W300,000 I can get my visa canceled...si this true?

B) If I'm in an ongoing labor dispute and cancel my visa with this cause problems for getting the money the hogwon owes me?

Another thing, if you have a visa on one passport, but you have dual citizenship, can you get another work visa on your other passport with no problems??

As far as it goes immigration will not cancel your current E2 until its expired its original course. However you were fired, so go to the issuing office and cancel the E2. Tell them to ring the labor office person handling your case if there's a problem...have their number handy.

You could take your chances getting a new E2 in a second passport from a different issuing office but aren't you already recorded as being a dual citizen from the first time?... probly not but its a risk.

Go to the airport with a ticket to anywhere.

When you get to immigration, hand in your ARC and say, "Please cancel my visa."

Enjoy your vacation.

Come back and get a new job.

My crap job agreed to let me go and then when a teacher canceled onthem that was going to replace me they tried to make me stay. They said they wouldn't cancel my visa an and they wouldn't give me a release letter. My new employer had already called immigration and gotten it cancelled and I went to immigration myself and they said it would be canceled the date I left and I all I had to was turn in my immigration card and go to Japan with another E2. So you can cancel without your school's help.

Well, one of my ex-coworkers tried it recently, and he was denied a new visa. It was easier to do this before, but now, there's a chance it won't work.
