Q. If I leave Korea after my D2 visa expired, is reentry possible without another visa?

A. There is a strong possibility that you cannot reenter if you leave Korea before you get a new visa. The best way is to apply for a new visa as soon as possible. If you have not officially graduated, you can extend your D2 visa. It is the simplest and fastest way. However if you have already graduated, then apply for D10 or F3. In the case of Nepal, it is impossible to leave Korea without an ARC (Alien Registration Card), so you have to explain your situation to immigration and ask to be issued a new card early. The last way is that you can get permission for reentry on your passport by paying a 60,000KRW fee. That permission will replace the visa.
Q. I am living in Busan with an E9 visa and I have changed my workplace. So I registered at the employment center to find a job and got a confirmation for a job-seeking period. The document says a period for job-seeking is until the end of April. However my length of stay on my alien registration is until the end of February. In this case, should I apply to extend my stay? A. You have to visit the immigration bureau and apply for extending your visa until the expiration date of your period for job-seeking.
