I finished my contract on July 3rd, 2012 and left the country. I was told by a possible employer that I had 90 days to reapply for a renewed visa using the same documents that I used to get my previous E2 Visa. I would then enter the country on a tourist visa within those 90 days, reapply for the visa, then fly to Japan, visit the Korean Consulate there, and fly back into the country on a new E2 visa. 

Can anyone verify this 90 day grace period and the possiblity of reapplying the same documents used for the previous E2 visa? 

 

I just wanted some opinions on if this is common/ normal for a Hagwon.  I've been pretty sick the last couple of days and after seeing a Dr. he suggested I take a day off of work. When I showed my school the note they said I would have to pay (about $270)for a supplementary teacher. 

Is this normal? I've never heard of an ESL teacher having to pay for a substitue.  Thoughts?

I'm F-4, and I'm not very familiar with E-2 questions so I thought I'd ask here.

I recently caught up with a buddy back stateside who asked me about teaching in Korea, and got him interested. I sent him the necessary links and such to get him started. He then asked me about the FBI CBC.

He has a low-level misdemeanor on his record, cited as Exhibition of Speed. Basically he said he squealed his tires and got ticketed. He said he was not arrested for the misdemeanor, but pleaded guilty and paid a fine with community service. This is was nearly 8 years ago.

I am currently searching for a potential hire for my upcoming wedding in Korea this December. I'm an American living and teaching in Seoul, and my fiancé is ethnically Korean, but raised internationally. We met in the states ad began dating about 4 years ago. Our wedding is December 29th, 2012.
