About

About Move to Korea

Move to Korea (movetokorea.com) is a practical, experience-based guide for people planning to travel to, move to, or live in South Korea. We cover the real, on-the-ground details that are hard to find in English — visas and immigration, opening a bank account, getting an eSIM or SIM card, health insurance, housing, transportation, and the everyday logistics of life in Korea.

Why this site exists

Most English-language information about Korea is either outdated, scattered, or written without first-hand local knowledge. We aim to fill that gap with clear, up-to-date, step-by-step guides written from a local perspective.

Who writes this

This site is run by the Move to Korea team, based in South Korea. Content is based on first-hand experience, primary sources (official government and provider information), and ongoing updates as rules and services change.

Our commitment

We prioritize accuracy and usefulness. For anything involving visas, taxes, or official procedures, we link to authoritative sources and note the date of last update. Always verify time-sensitive details with the relevant official body.
