11 1. The Institute for Basic Science Chapter 1 IBS The Institute for Basic Science (IBS) was founded in 2011 to foster outstanding researchers through world-class basic science research conducted on the Korean peninsula. IBS seeks to ensure excellence in research by selecting leading scientists as directors and promotes a supportive and nurturing environment that enables scientists to fully engage in research. The Research Centers of IBS conduct large-scale, mid- and long-term group research that is unavailable at other universities or government-funded research institutes in Korea. Motivated by a driving curiosity about the unknown, the institute was founded with the vision Making Discoveries for Humanity & Society. As researchers unleash their creative potential most effectively when they perform adventurous research in an autonomous research environment, scientists themselves choose research themes that are usually novel concepts in their fields. Using RIKN and Max Planck Society as benchmarks, IBS aims to establish itself as a global research hub for basic science while also fostering the next generation of leaders in basic science research. It is our belief that advancement in basic science leads to both economic and intellectual progress of society, creating a brighter future for mankind. IBS support of basic science will help solve global challenges and offer solutions to fundamental scientific puzzles in a wide array of scientific fields. To achieve such goals, IBS has four operating principles; excellence, openness, autonomy, and creativity. The first principle is about establishing excellent Research Centers capable of conducting world-class basic science research. Nobel Laureates and renowned scholars make up panels to reform rigorous selection and evaluation procedures. Openness is about using Centers as channels to bring in professors or researchers from outside institutions. The flexible personnel structure, joint research, and the shared use of equipment with local institutions help to create dynamic research hubs where exchanges of world-leading talent and advanced knowledge actively occur. Centers enjoy autonomy in their research and operation as directors are encouraged to venture into new research areas by independently selecting research themes and recruiting the workforce necessary to achieve those themes. Creative ideas require unique research equipment, so IBS purchases large-sale infrastructure and has engineering support ready to provide the necessary modifications for the needs of the research.

12 2. Centers and Affiliated Organizations 2.1 HQ Centers With the new headquarters that opened in 2018, several Centers relocated to share the new research space. Located in Daejeon, South Korea in the International Science & Business Belt, these Centers are houses in three connected research buildings with an animal testing facility and the Aleph supercomputer. Also on the HQ campus is an administrative building, science and cultural center, and two dormitories (IBS and UST). Ⅰ Pioneer Research Centers Located in the headquarters complex with HQ Centers, Pioneer Research Centers (PRC) were launched in December These smaller collective Centers are led not by a director, but by a group of up to five chief investigators. 2.2 Campus Centers Campus Centers are established within science and technology universities and government-funded research institutes. Locations include the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), and Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTCH). 2.3 xtramural Centers These are Centers located in other renowned universities. locations include National University, Korea University, Yonsei University, collectively they are colloquially known as SKY, and wha Womans University; located in Suwon is Sungkyunkwan University; and in is Pusan National University. xtramural Centers are external organizations funded by IBS through agreements with the universities. Only the directors and associate directors are hired by IBS, all other research and administrative staff are employed by the university. 2.4 Rare Isotope Science Project The Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP) was officially formed in 2011 with the goal of making the Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiment, or RAON. Named after a shortened form of 라온하제, a Korean term meaning joyful tomorrow, RAON is a heavy ion particle accelerator which aims to become the first with both Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) and In-flight Fragmentation (IF). Construction is ongoing in northeast Daejeon neighboring Sejong City and will take at least ten years and 1.4 trillion won. 2.5 National Institute for Mathematical Sciences Affiliated with IBS, but not following the Center format, is one mathematical research group. The National Institute for Mathematical Sciences (NIMS) was founded in 2005 under the Korea Basic Science Institute. NIMS is located in Daejeon and was shifted from the Korea Basic Science Institute to IBS in Chapter 1 IBS

14 3. Career Path Institute for Basic Science welcomes international researchers as members of Research Centers and offers excellent career development programs. With roughly 30% of research staff recruited from outside of Korea, there are many opportunities to collaborate with top scientists from all over the world while working at IBS. Please see the table below to see the kind of positions offered at Centers. In terms of organization, IBS is headed by the Board of Directors who oversee the IBS President. The Auditor and Scientific Advisory Board work with the President, who oversees the headquarters, Centers, and affiliated organizations. Ⅰ Research Personnel at Centers Position Director Associate Director Chief Investigator Young Scientist Fellow Roles A director is the head of a Center who is responsible for all research and operation of the Center. These directors, and sometimes additional staff, participate in Directors Council Meetings as the representative of their Centers. Co-director Centers Managing Director: A managing director is the representative director of a co-director Center who presides over co-director meetings at their Centers to discuss operational matters. Managing directors participate in the Directors Council Meeting as the representatives of their Centers. One of the co-directors within a Center is appointed as the managing director of the Center by the IBS president to serve a two-year term with the possibility of extension. Co-director: A co-director is a director of a co-director Center who has full authority over the organization and operation of his/her own research group and participates in co-director meetings at their Centers to discuss their operational matters. An associate director is a principal investigator who independently operates a research group within a Center via consultations with the Center s (managing) director. An associate director is under the Center s (managing) director for a clearer approval structure and more efficient administrative management. Researchers whose capabilities are equivalent to a principal investigator at a globally renowned research institute or who has great potential to reach that level in the near future. A Pioneer Research Center can be composed of up to five chief investigators. Researchers with less than five years experience after obtaining their Ph.D. or under the age of 40 with a Ph.D. Chapter 1 IBS

15 Young scientist fellows can build their own independent research groups within a Center. Research Fellow/ Researcher A research fellow or a researcher conducts research as a member of a principal investigator s research group. 4. Recruitment Procedure Centers must comply with IBS policies in selecting and appointing directors and associate directors. For other types of appointment, HQ and campus Centers must comply with the below recruitment procedures. xtramural Centers typically follow the policies of their host institutions but may adopt these procedures at their discretion. Procedure Overseen by Details Recruitment announcement Application receipt Document screening & interview Selection of final candidates Annual salary & employment contracts Visa issuance confirmation letter ( 사증발급인정서 ) Human Resources Development Team or Center Center Center Center Center Human Resources Development Team Center HQ Job announcements are posted on the primary IBS website, Center s website, and/or other job websites. The announcements, written in both Korean and nglish, will be posted within three days of Centers' request for posting. They will remain posted for at least 15 days. Centers receive applications. Candidates from urope or the US, where employment certificates are not generally issued, may instead submit reference letters or CVs that specify employment periods. Centers screen and select candidates. Centers select final candidates. Centers will determine basic salaries in accordance with the IBS pay band and notify the Human Resources Development Team thereof. The Human Resources Development Team takes follow-up measures regarding employment contracts. Centers send IBS the documentation required to receive a visa issuance confirmation letter. IBS receives visa issuance number ( 인정번호 ) from the Immigration Office and notifies the relevant Centers thereof. Living In Korea 16

17 1. Overview of Immigration Unless you hold Korean citizenship, all people wanting to work in Korea need a visa and all dependent families wishing to live in Korea need a visa. Once hired by IBS, the administrative staff at your Center will be responsible for helping you with any visa and immigration matters. The contents in this chapter are subject to change without notice but are provided to give you a general overview of the process. For up-to-date information or scheduling a reservation at an immigration office please visit the Korean Immigration websites: Korea Immigration Service (K, ) is a basic page which will redirect you to other immigration-related sites. It is a good starting point to see what kind of services are available. Hi Korea egovernment for Foreigners (K,, C) is a general site that focuses on visas but also provides other immigration-related information and registration for appointments at Immigration offices. You can reach Immigration directly by calling 1345 from within Korea or 82 (Korea s country code) and then Support is available in (1) Korean, (2) nglish, and (3) Chinese from 9 AM until 10 PM. Other language support includes (4) Vietnamese, (5) Thai, (6) Japanese, (7) Mongolian, (8) Indonesian, (9) French, (10) Bangladeshi, (11) Pakistani, (12) Russian, (13) Nepalese, (14) Cambodian, (15) Burmese, (16) German, (17) Spanish, and (18) Arabic but only are available from 9 AM until 6 PM. Select the language you want by pressing the number next to the language you desire and press * services include information on immigration locations and hours, immigration representatives who will discuss your visa options, and as of October 2015 the number also connects you to lawyers or legal advocates to assist in a wide variety of legal situations. If you are already residing in Korea on a work visa which has not yet expired, it is generally possible to change from one kind of work visa to another without needing to leave the country. If you are currently in Korea on a tourist or landing visa, it is not possible to change to a work visa without first leaving Korea. Most international staff newly hired at IBS are hired while living outside of Korea and will apply for a visa at their closest Korean embassy or consulate. 2. Visa Types Chapter 2 Visas and Immigration There are a number of different visa types available for working at IBS, and for dependent families to live in Korea, but most of the visas that IBS sponsors are -1, -3, and -7. C class visas are for short-term work and IBS uses C-4 to hire persons for less than 90 days. D class visas are for education and certain job types. D-2 is available for UST students engaged in an MA or PhD course and this visa does permit holders to legally work but only under certain conditions. D-4 is for education programs that do not offer a degree. Living In Korea 18

18 class visas are for long-term employment. -1 is for professors or lecturers at a university, -3 is for researchers, and -7 is specialized employment not necessarily research based. F class visas are frequently the hardest to obtain as they are for residents (F-2), accompanying spouses and children (F-3), ethnic Koreans with overseas citizenship (F-4), permanent residents (F-5), or married to a Korean citizen (F-6). Only one visa type, the F-5, allows holders to vote in local elections. But all visa types are not allowed to participate in political activities in any other way, shape, or form. This includes, but is not limited to participating in political protests, speaking at political rallies, or holding placards about election candidates. Ⅰ Visa type C-4 Short-term employee ( 단기취업 ) D-2 Student ( 유학 ) D-4 General trainee ( 일반연수 ) ligibility Individuals who do short-term employment and are financially compensated for it. Work can include lectures, research activities, or a wide variety of other jobs. Holders of C-4 can legally work in Korea. Individuals studying in an accredited university program for BA, MA, MS, or PhD studies. Visa also allows holder to conduct specific research at a college, university, graduate school or other academic institutions established under the provisions of the Higher ducation Act. It is possible to work under this visa class but only under very specific conditions and only after the first semester of study has been completed. These conditions make it difficult to find work outside of a university or institutional setting. Thus, it is better to think of this as a non-work visa unless arrangements have already been made. Holders of D-4 can legally work in Korea but it can be difficult to do so. Individuals studying in programs that do not hold accreditation and do not offer a formal degree. Can include those who are obtaining training for research and technology at national and public research institutes. Variations of this visa class include: D-4-1: Korean language trainee D-4-2: General trainee (other) D-4-3: lementary/middle/high school student D-4-5: Chef trainee for Korean cuisine D-4-6: General trainee (private institute) D-4-7: Foreign language trainee Holders of D-4 cannot legally work in Korea. Maximum residence period 90 days 2 years 2 years Chapter 2 Visas and Immigration

19 -1 Professor ( 교수 ) -3 Research ( 연구 ) -7 Specially designated activities ( 특정활동 ) F-2 Resident ( 거주 ) Individuals who are qualified, as defined under the Higher ducation Act, who wish to teach or conduct research at educational facilities. Applies for full-time lecturers or professors hired by academic organizations (e.g. college or university). Also applies for research professors in certain academic fields, laboratories attached to a university or college, or individuals who provide lectures or conduct research at science-related educational facilities. Holders of -1 can legally work in Korea. Scientists and engineers engaged in science or high technology research at a college, university, national institute, public institute, or non-profit research institute in science and technology. Holders of -3 can legally work in Korea. Skilled individuals who possess specialized knowledge, technology, or skills as defined under Article 16 of the Framework Act on Treatment of Foreigners Residing in the Republic of Korea. The law was updated in early 2015 so that international students who received a degree within Korea are no longer limited to jobs that are directly related to their university program major. Holders of -7 can legally work in Korea. Individuals who will stay in Korea more long-term compared to previous visa types. Can be obtained via a few different methods. If an F-2 is held for 3 years, then the holder can apply for F-5 permanent resident status. F-2-1 or F-6 can be obtained by marrying a Korean citizen. F-2-7 is nicknamed the points-based visa as applicants can earn the visa if they get enough points as determined by the combined social value of their age, education, tax bracket, work experience before moving to Korea, and Korean language ability, among other aspects. Points are removed for violations of Korean Immigration law, including taking more than two weeks to register your new residence with Immigration. The F-2-7 was first introduced in February 1, 2010 and the point value of each aspect has been updated several times in the years that followed. If obtained, international spouses and children also get the same status. Holders of F-2 can legally work in Korea. 5 years 5 years 3 years 5 years Living In Korea 20 Family of IBS staff (spouse and unmarried children up to international age 18 or Korean age 19) can come and live in Korea on a F-3 visa. Their status is that of a dependent

20 F-3 Accompanying spouse/children ( 동반 ) of the spouse/parent which means their visa is valid for the same length of time as the spouse/parent on any D or class visa. When the working partner extends their visa, the family needs to also extend theirs. As dependents, F-3 does not allow holders to obtain legal employment. If you wish to work in Korea, you will need a different visa class to do so. Holders of F-3 cannot legally work in Korea. Length of stay matches spouse/ parent Ⅰ F-4 Overseas Koreans ( 재외동포 ) Individuals who are ethnic Korean but were born outside of Korea and hold citizenship outside of Korea. Also applies to former Korean citizens who renounced their citizenship. This visa has greatly expanded in usage, going from almost 130,000 issued in 2010, to over 500,000 issued in Holders of F-4 can legally work in Korea. 2 years F-5 Permanent resident ( 영주 ) Permanent residency can be obtained if an individual has lived in Korea for a minimum length of time and can provide other necessary documentation, which will vary depending on the current visa status held before applying for F-5. As Korea does not allow dual citizenship after a certain age (one age for males and a different age for females), this is the closest a foreign national can be to holding dual citizenship with Korea. From 2005, individuals holding an F-5 can vote in local elections if they have held the F-5 visa for at least three years. Holders of F-5 can legally work in Korea. 10 years F-6 Marriage to Korean citizen ( 결혼이민 ) Individuals who have married a South Korean citizen. This visa type was previously only obtainable if the marriage was registered in both Korea and the home country of the international spouse. The law changed in 2014 so only registration within Korea is necessary to get this visa. Holders of F-6 can legally work in Korea. 3 years Chapter 2 Visas and Immigration

21 3. Applying for a Visa Outside of Korea The chart below outlines the process of applying for a visa outside of Korea. A general rule of thumb is the bigger the city, the longer the wait for the view to be issued. Within Japan, applying for a visa in the Korean embassy in Tokyo can take upwards of a week to get. Meanwhile, the same visa is obtainable usually the next day when visiting the consulate in Fukuoka. Your Center s admin staff will support you in the process of getting a visa. Please keep in contact with them as they know the visa system well. Research Center 1. Document submission for visa issuance confirmation letter 4.

Alien Registration Card With few exceptions outside of US military personnel stationed in Korea, all individuals who don t have Korean citizenship and intend to live in Korea for longer than 6 months need to register with Immigration to get an Alien Registration Card ( 외국인등록증, 外國人登錄證, oegugin deungnokjeung ). Frequently shorted to ARC or Alien Card, this card not only fulfills your legal immigration requirement, but also gives you a Resident Registration Number ( 주민등록번호, 住民登錄番號, jumin deungnok beonho or some variation on 등록번호, 登錄番號, deungnok beonho ). This master identification number will be on your Korean driver s license if you get one, is used to register at hospitals and medical clinics and tells the staff if you have national health insurance, can be used to create an account on Korean websites, can be used instead of your passport when banks ask for identification (you may need to bring both if you started the account with a passport but once the new number is on file you just need the ARC), used to file taxes, etc. You can leave your passport at your residence in Korea as this ID card takes its place. This card is your official identification in Korea. Also having this card means you don t need to fill out immigration paperwork when returning to Korea as all your information is already in their system. To apply for an ARC, you will need to bring some paperwork to an Immigration office. Please see the list of locations each branch serves as they will not serve you if you go to the wrong branch. You will need an application form which is freely available in the lobby Chapter 2 Visas and Immigration

23 of Immigration. You will need a color passport photo 3.5 mm by 4.5 mm, which might be a different size than passport sized photos in your home country. While you can get passport photos there, if you can bring one before you visit you can save some time. Additional paperwork differs by visa type. Please ask your Center s admin staff to help you prepare all the paperwork. Application fee as of this writing is 30,000 KRW but might change in the future. You don t pay the employee at the booth but go to another part of the lobby and buy a Government Revenue Stamp. You will also have the choice to pick up your ARC or have it mailed to you. The mail system is very reliable and safe in Korea, so if you want to save time bring a little extra money to pay for the mailing service. An ATM is available in the lobby but sometimes has a long line as some Immigration procedures require payment at that specific ATM. To save time, make sure you have enough money before you arrive. The identification card used by most foreign passport holders will be blue, as the sample image shows. There is a green version for permanent residents, a reddish yellow version for ethnic Koreans born outside of Korea, and a more monochrome version for Korean citizens. Image provided by website. The 13-digit number with a dash in the middle is the identification number. The first six digits are your birthday in YYMMDD format. So if you were born on October 30, 1983 the first six digits would be As birth information is common knowledge in Korea, the first six numbers aren t seen as secret and don t need to be protected unless you don t wish to reveal your age. The first number after the dash identifies your citizenship as Korean or non-korean, your gender, and which century you were born in. Living In Korea 24

24 9 Male Korean (born ) 0 Female Korean (born ) 1 Male Korean (born ) 2 Female Korean (born ) 3 Male Korean (2000 present) 4 Female Korean (2000 present) 5 Male overseas resident (born ) 6 Female overseas resident (born ) 7 Male overseas resident (2000 present) 8 Female overseas resident (2000 present) Ⅰ Using our October birthday example for a male born outside of Korea, your ID would be XXXXXX. The last six numbers appear to be random and are important as they cannot be guessed, unlike the first numbers which can be determined by knowing your birthday. Under the large KOR on the top right is binary gender ( 성별, 性別, seongbyeol ), and marked as either M or F. Under the Resident Registration Number is your full legal name ( 성명, 姓名, seongmyeong ) with family name written first followed by your given name and middle name. For example, the name Richard Andrew Moore will be written Moore Richard Andrew on an ARC and all in capital letters. In some Western publications it is normal to use this format, for example an author list or a list of cited references in research, but in these cases it is standard to include a comma after the family name if written first, example being Moore, Richard Andrew. This format of FAMILY GIVN MIDDL used on ARC follows ast Asian standards as we are in ast Asia. But unfortunately this creates misunderstandings when applied to non-asian names, especially as a comma is not added after the family name. Many Koreans believe Western names are written in Western order of GIVN MIDDL FAMILY which creates problems when trying to search for your name in a database and might also result in staff calling you by your family or middle name instead of your given name; Hello Moore or Mr. Andrew. Your name and Resident Registration Number are also necessary for registering on a number of websites as they frequently check to make sure the legal name and ID number match to cut down on underage users and fake accounts. Registering for websites in Korea has historically been notoriously difficult for non-koreans as the software systems were designed for Korean nationals and Korean names. This means 13-digit ID numbers with a 5 or 6 after the dash frequently came up as invalid as only the Korean citizen databases were being checked. This has largely been fixed but still might exist on some legacy systems. Korean names also don t have spaces between the family and given name. As only 1% of the population living in Korea are not Korean citizens, the software connected with Resident Registration Numbers has not be modified to use spaces with non-korean names. This means when you need to use your real legal name to register on a website or try to recover your account, you don t type FAMILY GIVN MIDDL, but you write FAMILYGIVNMIDDL without spaces and usually all in capital letters. So the name Moore Richard Andrew is written MOORRICHARDANDRW. Chapter 2 Visas and Immigration

25 Under your legal name is the citizenship you hold ( 국가지역, 國家地域, gukga jiyeok ). If you hold overseas dual citizenship, only the citizenship you used to enter Korea is the citizenship you declare to Immigration, and that is the only citizenship which will be written here. Under citizenship is the visa type you currently have ( 체류자격, 滯留資格, cheryu jagyeok ). If your visa type changes, your ARC will be destroyed and a new one created with the new visa type. The bottom right shows when ( 발급일자, 發給日字, balgeup ilja ) and where the ARC was issued. The rear of your ARC will be vertical orientated with a serial number written on the top ( 일련번호, 一連番號, illyeonbeonho). The first box is labeled 체류기간 ( 滯留期間, cheryu gigan ) and Duration of Stay is written on some cards. This box gets updated when your visa gets extended. Updates used to be written in pen but are now printed to avoid forgery. The ink within these boxes can sometimes get rubbed off, so you might want to cover these words with clear tape, being careful not to cover the blank spaces which might get used in the future. The first column is the date of approval ( 허가일자, 許可日字, heoga ilja ), which is different from the date of issuance on the front of the card. The second column is the expiration date of your visa ( 만료일자, 滿了日字, mallyo ilja ) and the city of the Immigration office which updated your status ( 확인, 確認, hwagin). The second box is simplified from the example shown above. The newer format has your registered address in Korea ( 체류지, 滯留地, cheryuji ) and the date it was modified ( 신고일, 申告日, singoil ). Having your address on your ARC can be very helpful if you forgot your address or need to have it written in Korean. You must update the government within two weeks of when you move otherwise you ll be hit with a financial penalty and have negative points against you, which can hurt your chances of upgrading to a better visa status in the future. You can update your residency location by visiting Immigration or various local government offices, including city hall ( 시청, 市廳, sicheong ), district office ( 구, 區, gu ), neighborhood office ( 동, 洞, dong ), town office ( 읍, 邑, eup ), or township office ( 면, 面, myeon ). Also some community centers can do this but not all, so contact them ahead of time to confirm. If you are trying to update your address more than two weeks after moving, you are only allowed to update your address with Immigration as you are in violation of Immigration law and only Immigration is allowed to deal with that situation. Living In Korea 26

26 5. Immigration Offices You will need to visit an immigration office ( 출입국관리사무소, 出入國管理事務所, churipguk gwalli samuso ) to register for Alien Registration Card, file an extension for your visa, change your visa type, get Immigration-related paperwork, or register your new address within two weeks of moving. Their operation hours of 9 AM to 6 PM are standardized at all locations. Locations, operation hours, and the answers to tons of other questions are available by calling 1345 within Korea or outside of Korea. Usually in the lobby of Immigration offices is a volunteer to direct people where to go and help with filling out paperwork. If you have any questions, please don t be shy in asking for help. People would typically go in person, preferably right when they open or a little prior, grab a ticket and wait. Arriving at 10 or 11 AM would ensure a wait for at least one hour if not several. During peak seasons, which coincided with the start of school semesters as a large number of teachers and professors freshly arrived in Korea, they would turn off the ticket machine when they would max out on customers that they could assist for that day. As of February 1, 2016, a number of immigration offices require applicants to make a reservation online before coming to the office so they can cut down on people waiting unnecessarily. Reservations can be made online at The number of Chinese visitors to Korea has become so large that many immigration offices have a dedicated floor or a separate building. If you have a Chinese passport, make sure you are in the correct location. It will not only save you time by going to the correct area, but their Chinese language ability will be better in the Chinese area. Sometimes people fail to have enough paperwork and need to collect more before returning. Immigration officers frequently tell the nglish names of needed documents. While this is a nice thing for you to understand what they need, it can create a problem as the nglish names are frequently not standardized. In a worst case scenario, this can result in trying to track down the necessary document in a city government office, asking for it by its nglish name, the name given to you by Immigration, and the staff may not understand which document you really need. To avoid confusion, if you need more documents make sure you get the names of these documents in Korean. It doesn t matter if you cannot read Korean, as long as you have the list in Korean you ll be fine as your admin Center staff can help you. Ⅰ 5.1 Immigration Locations Immigration offices are spread throughout the country. Make sure you go to the office with jurisdiction in your area, as they won t serve you if you go to a different branch. Location is determined by where you live, not where you work. As the detailed list is quite long, please check the list of offices in the Appendix to find the correct location to visit. Immigration is slowly expanding which locations require a reservation. As this can change after these contents were created, please check online at or with your Center admin staff for updated information to see if you can simply walk in or need to make an appointment. Chapter 2 Visas and Immigration

27 1. Historical Perspective From the 4th century, the Korean language used to be a right-to-left vertically written language using Han Chinese characters with Korean pronunciation. This writing system is known as hanja ( 한자, 漢字 ) or Sino Korean, still resembles traditional Chinese and kyūjitai as it never went through major reform over the centuries. This is in contrast to the simplification of Chinese characters used in Mainland China and Japan today. Learning the tens of thousands of individual hanja characters was only doable by noble classes which led King Sejong ( 세종대왕, 世宗大王 ) in the 15th century to develop a phonetic alphabet known today as Hangul in South Korea and Chosŏn'gŭl in North Korea. Full adoption of the alphabet took around 500 years, only gaining fully widespread usage in the 1990 s or 2000 s. Today, the Korean language is a left-to-right horizontally written language using Hangul almost exclusively. Roughly 60% of modern Korean words have hanja, all family names have hanja, and while traditionally all given names can be written in hanja, these days many youths are not given hanja or have names with no hanja roots. Hanja still appears in publications and advertisements as it carries an elite or educated feeling, but its usage is rapidly fading. As hanja is in its way out, loanwords or Konglish has been taking its place as the language evolves. 2. Hangul Letters are divided into vowels and consonants and consist of basic geometric shapes. Some fonts highlight the circles and 90 degree angles, while other fonts are more stylish in their approach. Over time a number of these letters have dropped out of usage, making the system easier to learn. Unlike uropean languages where each letter stands alone, Korean words are written in syllable or morpheme blocks of 2, 3, or 4. How the letter are arranged in the block depends on the shape of the letters. Blocks with two characters are written left right, or top bottom. Chapter 3 Korean Language Living In Korea 28

28 Blocks with three characters are written top left, top right, bottom or top, middle, bottom. Ⅰ Blocks with four characters are written top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right or top, middle, bottom left, bottom right. The pronunciation of consonants depends on their placement in the blocks at the initial or final position. If a block ends with two consonants, or if one block ends in a consonant and the next block starts with a different consonant, either the sounds blur together or one dominates the other. Instead of just showing all the consonants, it is much easier to learn them in groups where patterns can easily be seen. Roman letters are used for these examples and follow North American pronunciation. These Roman letters follow the official Romanization standard used in South Korea. 2.1 Plain Consonants Blocks cannot start with a vowel, so when a block needs to start with a vowel sound, the ㅇ letter is a silent placeholder when in the initial position of a block. You ll notice many of the letters have two different sounds; the first sound is when the consonant appears at the start of a syllable block, and the second sound is when it appears at the end of a syllable, called a 받침 (batchim ). ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅇ ㅈ g/k n/n d/t r/l m/m b/p s/t (silent)/ng j/t Chapter 3 Korean Language

29 2.2 Tense Consonants Once you know the plain consonants, it is easy to learn the tense consonants, which are simply doubled versions of some of the plain consonants. A few of these can only be used in the initial position within a block. To correctly pronounce these and the last group of consonants, you ll need to ask a Korean speaker for verbal examples as the Romanization does not accurately portray their different sounds. ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ kk/k tt/(none) pp/(none) ss/t jj/(none) 2.3 Aspirated Consonants The last group of consonants are aspirated forms of a few previous consonants and are written in a similar way to the plain versions. ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅊ k/k t/t p/p ch/t 2.4 Simple Vowels Like we did with the consonants, let s break up the consonants into a few groups; simple, plus Y, and combos. If you can learn the first group, the other two groups can be learned quite easily. For this and the rest of the vowel section, nglish words with similar vowel sounds are written below as an added help. ㅏ a father ㅓ eo dog ㅗ o home ㅜ u moon ㅡ eu good l i see 2.5 Plus Y Vowels With the simple vowels learned, let s look at what I call the Plus Y group. You ll notice these four letters are very similar to the first four simple vowels, except each of these letters have parallel small lines. Parallel lines indicate a y sound added to the front. That s it. ㅑ ya yard ㅕ yeo young ㅛ yo yo ㅠ yu you Living In Korea 30

30 2.6 Vowel Combinations Vowel combinations are just that, combinations of vowels. Under each vowel combination is written what vowels are used to create the combination. It will be very hard to tell the difference between ㅐ and ㅔ and even Koreans have trouble with telling them apart on occasion. When Koreans want to clarify, they say 아이 for ㅐ and 어이 for ㅔ. Ⅰ ㅐ ㅏ + ㅣ ae face ㅘ ㅗ + ㅏ wa water ㅚ ㅗ + ㅣ oe wait ㅒ ㅑ + ㅣ yae yay ㅝ ㅜ + ㅓ wo wonder ㅟ ㅜ + ㅣ wi weed ㅔ ㅑ + ㅣ e face ㅙ ㅗ + ㅐ wae wet ㅢ ㅡ + ㅣ ui gooey ㅖ ㅕ + ㅣ ye yay ㅞ ㅜ + ㅔ we web 3. Romanizations There are several transcriptions and transliterations of the Korean language in widespread use. The Yale Romanization system, named such as it was developed by a group of linguists at Yale University, is the standard in linguistics research but it is rare to see it outside of academia. The Kontsevich system is the official Cyrillization transcription method for the Russian language. Both Koreas have used uniquely modified versions of the McCune- Reischauer system as their official transcription standard but South Korea changed to the Revised Romanization system. Developed by the National Institute of Korean Language and the official standard from 2000, Revised Romanization restricts itself to using the ISO basic Latin alphabet. Simply said, if you see apostrophes, ŏ, or ŭ, for example chan'gŭm, it is McCune-Reischauer and not the current system used in South Korea. If you are wondering why Pusan National University is in City and why Kangnam University is in Gangnam, this is because everything initially got their Romanization under McCune-Reischauer. When South Korea changed to Revised Romanization, the cities and districts changed their spellings to match the new system, but universities didn t. This is also why the annual film festival in City is sometimes referred Chapter 3 Korean Language

31 to as International Film Festival and sometimes the Pusan International Film Festival as the spelling was different depending on when the article you read was published or the plaque you saw was posted. A useful tool in Korean Romanization is the Korean Romanization Converter ( roman.cs.pusan.ac.kr/input_eng.aspx) developed by Pusan National University. Their tool offers Revised Romanization, McCune-Reischauer, and Yale support. If you wish to learn the Revised Romanization system, please see the following tables. 3.1 Vowels Hangul ㅏㅐㅑㅒㅓㅔㅕㅖㅗㅘ Romanization a ae ya yae eo e yeo ye o wa Hangul ㅙㅚㅛㅜㅝㅞㅟㅠㅡㅢㅣ Romanization wae oe yo u wo we wi yu eu ui i 3.2 Consonants For individual clusters, the table below shows how consonants are Romanized. The initial row shows the how the consonant is spelled when starting a cluster, the final row is how the consonant is spelled when ending a cluster; the 받침 as mentioned previously. This is why the 국 in 한국어 is spelled guk and not gug.

33 3.3 Name Standards While the Korean language has a very standardized system for Romanization, this is not true when it comes to personal names. Individuals have a large amount of flexibility with the official Romanization of their names in passports and business cards. This explains why 이 is usually written Lee and not I, 김 is usually Kim and not Gim, and 박 is usually Park and not Bak. Speaking of family names, one cultural note worth mentioning is that women keep their maiden name after they get married, which is why you might meet a Mr. Park and his wife Mrs. Kim. Given names also have a range of possibilities. A general name in Korean is 홍길동, and is used much like John Doe, John Smith, or Jane Doe in nglish. Using 홍길동 as an example, let s look at the given name of 길동, which can be written as: Gildong Gil Dong Gil-dong Gil-Dong In 2013, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has recommended people use the first format; no space and no dash but a dash is allowed in order to distinguish syllables. This means Gildong is the best and Gil-dong is also allowed. The Ministry also recommends placing the family name first, as is per the norm in Asian languages. However, as people have freedom to write their name as they want, you will see a wide variety of formats used, sometimes by the same person. It isn t abnormal to see, for example, Hong Gildong on a business card, Gildong Hong on a resume, and then Hong Gil Dong on a website. This means using the terms first name and last name is not recommended, but saying given name and family name will be more accurate. To aid in knowing what is the family name versus the given name, for press releases and other news articles we at IBS frequently write the family name in full capital letters for the first time it is used in the body of the contents. There is not much variety of Korean family names. Roughly half of people living in South Korea have the family name Kim, Lee, or Park. These are so common names that some nglish language publications will erroneously mention a South Korean saying where if someone goes up to Nam Mountain (Namsan) in and throws a stone, they are bound to hit someone with the name Kim, Lee, or Park ( 서울남산에서돌을던지면김씨, 이씨, 박씨성을가진사람이그돌을맞는다라는말이있다. 이처럼한국에는김씨, 이씨, 박씨, 최씨등의성이다수를차지하고있다.). This is not a popular joke nor even a saying, but was used as an allegory on a website to demonstrate how common those names are and has been picked up by nglish language media over the years. The ten most common family names in Korea are Kim, Lee, Park, Jeong (Chung), Choi (Choe), Cho, Kang (Gang), Chang (Jang), Yoon, and Lim (Rim). 4. Hanja As hanja was something only the wealthy of society could afford to do, it s usage in Living In Korea 34

34 modern Korean language has taken on a more noble or elite feeling. Roughly 60% of Korean words have hanja roots and these carry more formal feelings than words without roots. You As hanja was something only the wealthy of society could afford to do, it s usage in modern Korean language has taken on a more noble or elite feeling. Roughly 60% of Korean words have hanja roots and these carry more formal feelings than words without roots. You may see hanja in formal advertisements, such as financial investing or golf clubs, or in more traditional settings but has disappeared from most forms of media and everyday life. When words are combined together, usually words with hanja roots are combined with other words that contain hanja roots. Likewise, words that have no hanja, sometimes called pure Korean, are joined with other words which cannot be traced back to Chinese. What Latin is to nglish is like what hanja is to Korean. Learning a bit of hanja is useful for seeing connections in similar words as well. As the Korean alphabet is phonetic, similar sounding words are spelled the same but have very different meanings, for example the 교 in 교통 (transport) and 교육 (education) look the same on the surface but their roots are very different. Knowing the 교 in 교육 is 校 and that is the same root in 학교 (learn + education location = school), 대학교 (large + learn + education location = university), 교내 (learn + inside = inside a school), 교복 (learn + clothing = school uniform), and 교우회 (learn + friend + gathering = alumni association) helps learn similar words. Several books which can assist in learning the Sino Korean, aka hanja, connections between words include Handbook of Korean Vocabulary: A Resource for Word Recognition and Comprehension by Miho Choo and William O Grady, Your First Hanja Guide: Learn ssential Chinese Characters Used in the Korean Language by the website Talk To Me In Korean, and Root Korean: A Dictionary of Korean Root Words (Hanja) by Andrew Livera. Ⅰ 5. Konglish From the 1990 s, and more so from the 2000 s, the presence of hanja has dramatically decreased from newspapers and nearly everywhere else. Case in point, a number of youth have Korean names but their parents either didn t select corresponding hanja roots or they simply don t know their own hanja as it isn t useful outside of formal documents. The place that hanja held in the language, which was an upper class feeling, has been replaced by nglish and Konglish. As knowing nglish costs a substantial amount of money to learn, knowing nglish is a sign of a better education and can lead to a better future as nglish is a substantial part of the university entrance exam and a part of getting a respectable office job. nglish, and by proxy Konglish, both contribute to the elite feeling formerly reserved by hanja. Many people will tell you that the definition of Konglish is Korean + nglish. While this neatly makes up the word Konglish, the truth is Konglish is better defined as Korean + loanwords from a wide variety of languages, often with changed definitions. Loanwords are nothing new to languages, as over the centuries loanwords came from Japanese or Chinese, or from outside and then through Japanese or Chinese, and later spread into Korean. A number of recent loanwords came in during the Japanese occupation, and are therefore very similar to wasei-eigo terms in modern Japanese. The biggest difference with older loanwords is the vast Chapter 3 Korean Language

35 majority of new loanwords have nglish or uropean roots. Misunderstanding occurs as many Koreans believe Konglish is correct nglish and contain not only the same pronunciation, but the same meaning and usage rules. This mistaken belief leads to frequent surprises when learning the word in question is not used in nglish or is from another language, like French or German. It is also worth noting that Konglish is uniquely South Korean as North Korea tries hard not to let new loanwords into their language. This further exacerbates linguistic differences between the two Koreas as they have changed in different ways during their more than half a century divided. There is no definitive list of Konglish terms as the Korean language, like all languages, continues to change. And while an entire textbook could be made teaching Konglish words, it is impossible to list all or even most Konglish terms within this guide. The following tables are to give an idea of some of the varieties of terms and are common enough you will come across many of them while living in Korea.

Korean Language Classes There are a number of ways to learn Korean in a classroom setting, but can be difficult to find without a good deal of searching. Our goal is this page will help show some of the options for finding a language class in your area. Current employees at IBS also have access to free online and offline options. If you have a login for the portal system, click the ducation tab and check the notices for current details. A few online classes are offered once a month, check for the posting with the subject Guide to distance education courses. Offline courses are also posted in the ducation tab and last for several months. There is usually an evening beginner course offered in Headquarters, but course levels and locations are based on demand, so talk to your co-workers, ask your Center s admin staff, and post on portal if you want another level or a class offered in your area. 6.1 University Programs Many universities have Korean language programs for international learners and often break up their classes into full-time and part-time options. The most popular programs include Yonsei University, which is the oldest program, has a variety of classes and textbooks, and is very grammar focused; Sogang University, which is popular among expats as their program is very practical; and National University, whose textbooks are used by a number of other universities and language schools. Language classes in universities roughly cost the same in Living In Korea 38

38 tuition but the quality and the usability of the contents varies. Doing an online search of the program and their textbooks will help you choose the right program. 6.2 Korean Immigration and Integration Program The Ministry of Justice, which oversees Korean Immigration, has set up their own offline and sometimes online class series called Korean Immigration and Integration Program (KIIP, 사회통합정보망, 社會統合情報網, Funded by taxpayers, the program is nearly entirely free, as only the textbooks cost money. Classes are primarily offered during workhours but some weekend options also exist. Immigration makes contracts with universities and other education centers so everywhere from cities to rural locations are covered. Many students are married and sometimes childcare is provided. The website is difficult to navigate and only some sections are translated, but after registering on the website, applicants take a level test for placement. Level 0 (0 단계 or 초급 ) is a 15-hour beginner class designed to give a basic reading and writing foundation. Levels 1 and 2 (1, 2 단계 or 초급 1, 2) are beginner, 3 and 4 are intermediate (3, 4 단계 or 중급 1, 2), and all are 100 hours each. Level 5 (5 단계 or 한국사회의이해 ) is the highest level, contains no new grammar, focuses on conversation and debate on given topics, is offered in 50-hour and 100-hour options, and the Ministry has uploaded 50 videos to YouTube pertaining to the final level. In additional to the language acquisition, going through some or all of the program can also assist in obtaining points for the F-2-7 points-based visa and make applicants exempt from proving Korean language competency for a naturalization process or for changing from certain visas to other visa types. Attendance is taken, and a minimum number of hours are required to take the final exam. That number, as well as some other details of the program, change on occasion. Ⅰ 6.3 Self-study If formal self-study is more fitting for you, check out the textbooks mentioned above. If you want to focus on grammar, a popular series is Korean Grammar in Use by Darakwon ( 다락원 ). There are three levels and workbooks are also available. Yonsei University s Korean Grammar for International Learners is a popular book available in several languages and with optional workbook. If you are more visual and want to learn some of the words for the objects you see around you in Korea, Darakwon has two versions of Korean Picture Dictionary; the nglish, Japanese, and Chinese edition; and the Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Mongolian edition. An app of the first version is available by Daolsoft. Various cities have also setup their own resources centers for international residents and frequently have free or subsidized Korean language classes. This includes the Global Center, Daejeon International Center, and Global Center. An internet search will help you know what is available in your area. While historically there have not been many textbook options to choose from, online programs have been filling the void, offering a variety of options and formats. A number of podcasts, YouTube channels, and dedicated websites have popped up. A static resource like this one will be unable to keep up with available content online so we suggest you take a look around and see what program suits your needs. Chapter 3 Korean Language

39 7. Certification The main Korean language test for nonnative speakers of Korean is the Test of Proficiency in Korean ( 한국어능력시험, 韓國語能力試驗, Hangugeo Neungnyeok Siheom, TOPIK). Not to be confused with the KBS 한국어능력시험, which is a language test for native Korean speakers, TOPIK is administered by the National Institute for International ducation ( 국립국제교육원, 國立國際敎育院, Gungnim Gukje Gyoyugwon, NIID). The test previously was divided into four sections: vocabulary and grammar, writing, listening, and reading and was offered in standard (S-TOPIK) and business (B-TOPIK) versions. In B-TOPIK, each section was worth 100 points and the totals were simply added together to give a score out of 400 possible points. The S-TOPIK version had three different versions: beginner ( 초급, 初級, chogeup ), intermediate ( 중급, 中級, junggeup ), and advanced ( 고급, 高級, gogeup ). Within the beginner test it was possible to pass level 1 or 2, levels 3 or 4 in intermediate, and 5 or 6 in advanced based on both the average score and the minimum score for each section. As of July 2014, the test has changed dramatically. The beginner level test is now called TOPIK I with levels 1 and 2 and the intermediate and advanced tests have been merged into TOPIK II with levels 3 to 6. TOPIK I has been simplified to reading and listening sections worth 100 points each and consists of mostly multiple-choice questions. The listening section is 40 minutes long with 30 questions and reading is 60 minutes long with 40 questions. TOPIK II has reading, listening, and writing sections worth 100 points each and has notably faster audio for the listening. Listening section is 60 minutes with 50 questions, writing is 50 minutes with 4 short-answer questions, and reading is 70 minutes long with 50 questions. TOPIK I levels 1 and 2 correspond to Common uropean Framework of Reference for Languages (CFR) A1 and A2, respectively. TOPIK II levels 3 and 4 correspond to CFR levels B1 and B2, and levels 5 and 6 with C1 and C2, respectively. The results of the test you take are valid for two years. As of this publication, the test is offered six times annually within Korea and slightly less frequently outside of Korea and is continent specific. Please check the official website at www. topik.go.kr for current test dates and other relevant information. The website also provides the public with old tests for free so you can prepare yourself by knowing what the test will be like. Living In Korea 40

42 1. Measurement Standards Prior to international standardization of the metric system, every country had to determine their own measurement systems. For our purposes, this section will only focus on one of the traditional Korean units of measurement; pyeong ( 평, 坪 ). Korea has used the metric system for decades, but it is still common to see housing measurements in both square meters and pyeong. One pyeong is equivalent to approximately 3.31 square metres or square feet. Pyeong Square metres Square feet , , , , , Chapter 1 Housing When a residence is measured, the public hallway/stairwell and all enclosed balconies are included in the measurement. nclosed balconies, called verandas in Korean ( 베란다, beranda ) were the norm for decades and seen positively as they create an extra temperature barrier from the outside elements and provide storage space. Public sediment has changed resulting in newer built apartments have the option to upgrade their units, which means no verandas. The space that would be used for storage is now used to make the rooms larger and double sets of windows provide the insulation that verandas provided. Living In Korea 44

43 2. Types of Accommodations Listed below are the most common types of residences in Korea. Population density means almost every place available for rent will be a multistory building. Single story homes and dwellings exist, but are not as common and rare to find available to rent. Regardless of the type of residence you get, chances are you will live above someone else. Being a good neighbor means keeping noise levels down in the evenings, including TV volume, laundry machine usage, barking pets, and running children. Roof access depends on the height of the building as the higher the roof the bigger the injury if someone falls. Apartments and dormitories usually block access to their roofs. If you have access, you ll notice the roof is flat and is green colored due to the waterproofing chemicals. Viewed from a distance, this waterproofing can appear like grass. Roofs can be used to dry clothes, grow vegetables in pots, and host a dinner party under the stars. Please ask your landlord if there are any restrictions with using the roof. Ⅱ 2.1 Apartments/Flats Apartments are the most popular housing option among Koreans. The term in Korean is a shortened version of apartment ( 아파트, apateu ) and frequently written as APT. In Korea, an apartment is actually defined as an apartment complex consisting anywhere from eight to sixteen buildings, each of which over 15 stories tall. In less populated areas and with older complexes, the average height will be smaller and can be as few as 4 buildings. City, location in city, view, transportation availability, south facing for sunlight, building age, and brand name of apartment all highly influence the price. Drawbacks to living in apartments include limited parking in older or cheaper units. Apartments built in the 1980 s and 1990 s did not construct as many parking spaces as would be made today as car ownership was lower. The culture has adapted by being very lenient on illegally or double parked cars as there sometimes is no space to park. Double parked cars are supposed to be left in neutral, allowing people to push them out of the way of cars they are blocking. Also almost all car and truck has a cell/mobile number written and placed on the dashboard. If the vehicle is blocking traffic, anyone can call that number and tell the offender to move their vehicle. Apartments and sometimes universities will enforce parking with attaching a large A4-sized sticker on a window of the car. Bright yellow in color, this is both a shaming strategy aimed at attracting negative attention to the offender and a significant annoyance as the adhesive used is surprisingly strong. Chapter 1 Housing

44 2.2 Officetels Officetels ( 오피스텔, opiseutel ), are a combination of office and hotel. Intended to be used as a very small office space/living space for an individually owned company, they come furnished with the bare essentials and provide minimal residential facilities. As more Koreans are living away from family before getting married, officetels have become popular for renting to singles who don t need a lot of space and who don t want to buy large housing items, like a bed or washing machine. They are located above storefronts, have elevator access and usually share long hallways. Intended for business usage, their utility bills are smaller than official residential areas. 2.3 Villas Smaller single apartment buildings are referred to as villas in Korea ( 빌라, billa ). As these are individually owned, there is no brand name and each building will have its own design. Chances are your landlord live in or near the building, so getting face to face time could be as easy as going up or down some stairs. Usually under five floors, they don t have elevators, and there are only one or two residences per floor. It is for these reasons villas are less desirable than proper apartment complexes. The rent is usually lower and the size is usually bigger than apartment complexes. 2.4 Studio Apartments Studio apartments are called one-room ( 원룸, wollum ) in Korean as they consist of one room. Cheaper than officetels, many are located near universities, organizations, or institutes. Larger versions are called 투룸 (turum ) or 쓰리룸 (sseurirum ) as they have two or three rooms, respectively. These are usually types of villas, but not necessarily. They can come as furnished or unfurnished. Living In Korea 46

45 2.5 Dormitories At the north side of the HQ campus in Daejeon are two adjacent dormitories, the IBS Dormitory ( com) and the UST Dormitory. Please see their respective sites for information. To apply for one of these, contact your immediate supervisor and they will contact the dormitories on your behalf. If you Center is located within a university, you might be able to live in one of their dormitories ( 기숙사, 寄宿舍, gisuksa). As there are a large number of Centers located in university campuses, inquire your Center s staff to see if you can have access. Ⅱ 2.6 Rooftop Room There isn t really a standardized name in nglish, but in 옥탑방 ( 屋塔房, oktapbang ) are small single rooms built on top of a villa, usually after the primary construction was completed. The size is very small, they are very cheap, and the walls do not insulate very well which makes the occupant(s) very hot in summer and very cold in winter. The price is attractive to college students, but can be found away from university areas as well. A maximum of one will exist per roof so residents have no neighbors next to them and sometimes have great city views. The rest of the roof is sometimes claimed by the rooftop room tenant, rightfully or not, giving them additional space outside of their four walls. 3. Types of Contracts 3.1 Monthly Rent Renting a residence is the most common, and frequently only option, for international residents. Called 월세 ( 月貰, wolse ) in Korean, a deposit is given and then monthly rent is paid to the landlord on a predetermined day. The term key money is frequently used instead of deposit. Deposit and rent price are displayed on housing websites, specialty smartphone apps, and in the windows of real estate offices ( 부동산, 不動産, budongsan ). Despite the price being set, negotiation is sometimes possible. A common negotiation is paying a higher deposit for a lower monthly rent. This is easier to do when banks offer higher interest rates as the deposit is placed into a bank and the interest is collected by the landlord. A rare version of monthly rent is paying your rent in advance for the entire length of your stay. Before moving in, your deposit and all rent payments are given to the landlord. ach month s rent is subtracted for the lump sum. Upon completion of the contract the remaining deposit is returned. As this requires a substantial deposit, and rent doesn t come back to the renter, people with this much money usually opt for a jeonse arrangement instead. 3.2 Large Deposit No Rent The jeonse system ( 전세, 傳貰 ) involves putting a deposit roughly the price of the property. Chapter 1 Housing

46 Such a large deposit is provided that no rent is paid and the deposit is returned to the renter at the end of a two-year contract. As most people don t have 200,000,000 won (roughly 200,000 USD or 200,000 uro) or more in cash for a deposit, some or all of the deposit is borrowed from a bank. The interest payments to the bank are significantly less than one would pay for normal rent, say monthly 200,000 won to a bank instead of 450,000 to a landlord in rent. This system is advantageous as your rent is to the bank, is smaller than normal rent, and your deposit is returned to you at the end of the contract period, again, usually two years. The landlord makes money on this arrangement via interest payments on your deposit in a locked two-year savings account. The large deposit also protects the property owner from financial losses due to potential damage that occur at the hands of a renter. While this is the preferred method for Koreans, it is nearly impossible for international individuals to do as banks have a higher risk involved with foreign nationals. Unless you are able to put up collateral worth the price of the loan, the banks will decline your request for a jeonse loan. 3.3 Partial Jeonse As interest rates in banks remain low, landlords are wanting to do the jeonse system less than decades prior as the rate of return has diminished. In recent years the 반전세 ( 반傳貰, banjeonse ), or literally half jeonse system has emerged. This is basically a low monthly rent system with substantial deposit; roughly half of a normal jeonse deposit. Cheaper than a normal rented property, the landlord can collect both rent and interest off of the large deposit given. Living In Korea 48

47 4. Creating a Lease Agreement 4.1 Real state Agent Many real estate offices exist ( 부동산, 不動産, budongsan ) in Korea. ach office will have their own listings and also have access to the same network of available residences throughout the city. To avoid communication issues, it would be beneficial to visit a real estate agent who can speak another language and have experience with international clients. Some cities have a list of Global Real state Agencies ( 글로벌부동산중개소, 글로벌不動産仲介所, geullobeol budongsan junggaeso ) and we have provided a list of them in the Appendix at the end of this book. As this is expanded, we will expand this section accordingly. ven if you can find a real estate agent who speaks a global language, consider going with a fellow researcher or admin staff who can provide background information and insight. Ⅱ 4.2 Financial Stability of Landlord Prior to signing a contract, you should confirm that the financial situation of the property owner in relation to the target residence; how much is the property worth, how much debt exists on it, etc. Real estate agents are required to clearly and accurately explain this to tenants before signing a contract. They must also present documents, such as certified copies of real estate registers, to prospective tenants. Under law, if a tenant suffers a loss because the real estate agent fails to assist the tenant in checking these items, the real estate agent must compensate the tenant for the loss. This helps tenants to get the pertinent information aids in signing or not signing the contract. 4.3 Details of Contract If you would like to continue with the process on the property you are interested in, you need to discuss all pertinent details with the lessor. This can include: - Lease period (usually 1 or 2 years, less is difficult to find) - Address - Breaking a contract early - Deposit amount - Rent amount, due date, and payment information - Move in date - Garbage disposal/schedule - Pets - Parking - Provided furniture - Keycards and/or passcode for building access - Brokerage fee to be paid to the realtor (usually renter and landlord both pay the same amount of brokerage fee) As this is where you will live for one or two years, it is vital that you understand everything. Ask as many questions as needed, take as many notes as needed, and don t allow others to push you into signing something you do not understand. 4.4 Signing and Contract Copies The real estate agent, renter, and landlord all need to sign or stamp the contract. Sometimes a proxy will be used if the landlord lives in another city and/or is unable to visit the real estate office as the creation of a contract is frequently done very quickly. All parties must Chapter 1 Housing

48 provide identification prior to signing. Bring your passport or Alien Registration Card if you have already made it. The real estate agent will usually use a name stamp ( 도장, 圖章, dojang ) registered with the government instead of signing the document by hand. This is frequently also the case with the landlord. A handwritten signature is also legally binding, so don t feel out of place using a pen. Three copies of the contract will exist so each signing party has a legal copy. After signing all three on the designated lines, the real estate agent stacks and slightly offsets the three contracts and all three parties sign the documents in a way that their stamp or signature overlap all three contracts. If a legal dispute occurs, all three contracts are produced and lined up to confirm if they are original or forged. If you or the landlord lose their copy of the contract, the realtor can provide a photocopy of the contract Registering your New Address You need to update Immigration of your new residence within two weeks of moving. You can update your residency location by visiting Immigration or various local government offices, including city hall ( 시청, 市廳, sicheong ), district office ( 구청, 區廳, gucheong ), neighborhood office ( 동사무소, 洞事務所, dongsamuso or 주민센터, 住民센터, jumin senteo ), town office ( 읍사무소, 邑事務所, eupsamuso ), or township office ( 면사무소, 面事務所, myeonsamuso ). Also some community centers can do this but not all, so contact them ahead of time to confirm. If you are trying to update your address more than two weeks after moving, you are only allowed to update your address with Immigration as you are in violation of Immigration law and only Immigration is allowed to deal with that situation Deposit and Real state Agent Fee You must provide 10% of the entire deposit amount at the contract signing. This initial 10% is called 계약금 ( 契約金, gyeyakgeum ). The remaining 90% ( 잔금, 殘金, jangeum ) should be paid on the day you move into the property. The total deposit is called 보증금 ( 保證金, bojeunggeum ). Rent usually begins on the day you move in. The day you sign the contract, you also need to pay the brokerage fee ( 중개수수료, 仲介手數料, junggae susuryo ). The commission for the real estate agent varies somewhat depending on the type of real estate transaction (lease or sale) and zoning type (residential or business). The commission rates for sales are higher than the rates for leases. As officetels are classified as commercial buildings, the commission rates will be higher than for apartments as apartments are classified as residential buildings.

This isn t abnormal and isn t impossible to do. But how easy it is to get out of the contract depends on your relationship with the landlord and their thoughts concerned the matter. One of three situations is likely to occur. The first is the landlord flat-out rejects you requesting to break the contract. You will need to keep talking to them and try to negotiate something as this can just be a negotiation strategy on their part. The second situation is the landlord grants permission for you to break the contract, Chapter 1 Housing

50 but only when someone can move into the residence. This keeps their deposit in the bank for the one- or two-year savings account and also makes sure they don t lose money due to a vacancy in the property. They may also request you pay for their share of the real estate brokerage fee as a penalty. If this second option exists, you will be paying rent for the residence until a new tenant is found, even if you have moved out. A dishonest landlord might try and rent out the property to a new tenant during this time to collect double rent. To protect yourself in this situation, leave some of your possessions in the residence until a new tenant is found. The last scenario is where the landlord grants you to break the contract and leave on a certain day, even if a new tenant has not yet been found. You may be asked to pay a penalty, such as an additional month s rent or the real estate brokerage fee. 4.7 Dual Address Systems There are two separate address systems which exist simultaneously in Korea despite one being phased out in The older system, sometimes translated as the land-lot number address ( 지번주소, 地番住所, jibeon juso ) resembles that used in North Korea and Japan. It is ordered from largest to smallest units and based on dividing by city ( 시, 市, si ), then district ( 구, 區, gu ), and neighborhood ( 동, 洞, dong ). Next the city block ( 번지, 番地, beonji ) which could be several dozen to several thousand per neighborhood, then the building number is given ( 호, 戶, ho ). Often the markers 번지 and 호 were skipped and their numbers were separated by a hyphen. The floor ( 층, 層, cheung ) and apartment or suite number ( 호, 號, ho ) and receptient s name were written last. The old system was officially decommissioned on December 31, 2013 but is still widely used. Sometimes called the road name address, the new system resembles addresses in North America and urope as it is based on street names. There are two names for it in Korean; 새주소 ( 새住所, saejuso ) which means new address and 도로명주소 ( 道路名住所, doromyeong juso ) which translates into road address. It underwent a pilot program in 1996, new street signs were installed between 1997 and October 2010, various notices and announcements were sent for several following years, and the new system officially started January 1, The newer system also starts with the biggest unit; the city. The district follows, then the street name, a dash, and then the street type, which could be a boulevard with over eight lanes ( 대로, 大路, daero ), road with 2 to 7 lanes ( 로, 路, ro ) or street for anything else ( 길, 街, gil ). Other road types exist but these are the most common. Next the building number and unit number are given, for example 102동 304호 or 102-dong 304-ho. The 3 in the example stands for third floor. Lastly, the recipient is written. Living In Korea 52

While people usually memorize their mailing address, it is rare for Koreans to memorize their zip code. This isn t a problem for them as entering an address with auto declare the zip code. To learn your zip code you can do that route, use the www. juso.go.kr previously mentioned, or the Post Office s website at roadareacdng.retrieverdngareacdlist.comm. 4.8 Moving Types of Moving Services Call-van If you own so few possessions, and if they are small enough to fit into a minivan, you might want to hire a 콜밴서비스 (kolbaen seobiseu ). Instead of fitting into multiple taxis, you could fit your belongings into one van and travel the distance only once Standard Moving Truck A standard relocation service ( 용달, 用達, yongdal ) is the most affordable way to move with a truck. If you own your own possessions, don t mind packing and unpacking by yourself, this service might be what you need. If you might have trouble getting the boxes into the truck, you may need to a hire a worker to help you. You do not need to prepare your own moving boxes. The service will provide yellow crates that are stackable and might also provide blue plastic boxes. Truck size and price will be determined by the amount of stuff you are moving and the distance. Although this is not the most convenient method, it is the most economical option available. Yellow stackable moving crates and a blue plastic box for moving Living In Korea 54

53 Complete Relocation Services The most relaxing way to move is to let a team come to your home, pack everything, put it in the truck, and unpack it at your new residence. Called 포장이사 ( 包裝移徙, pojang isa ), this method is very convenient. Before the movers come a representative will come to your home to survey the items and give you a price for the move. Cleaning and extra services to facilitate the entire moving process are also available at extra cost. Ⅱ Store-then-relocate If you need to move out before your new residence opens, you may need to store your belongings and then complete the move later. Called 창고보관서비스 ( 倉庫保管서비스, changgo bogwan seobiseu ), this also might come in helpful when moving overseas. The service provider will store your belongings in a storage space until your designated moving date. The costs of storage services depend on the size and duration of your storage needs Ramped Ladder Trucks and levators Population density means people build up. Chances are you will not live on the first floor of a building. If you are moving a wardrobe, mattress, refrigerator, washing machine, or other large items, it will be very difficult to bring them up and down stairs. The easiest way to move them in via an elevator. While villas will not have an elevator, apartments will. Depending on when the apartment was made and the rules of the apartment complex, you may or may not be able to use the elevator for your move. Reasons can include inconveniencing other residents for multiple hours, potential damage to the elevator through scratching and accidental impacts, and maximum size and weight restrictions of the elevator. Simply said, when you are planning your move, you need to contact the building management and clarify whether you can use the elevator or not. levator protected with plastic and pipe foam Specialty made padding attached with magnets Chapter 1 Housing

54 If you are not allowed to use the elevator, or if you live in a villa and have no elevator, you will need to rent a ladder truck ( 사다리차, 사다리車, sadaricha ). These are specialty trucks with an extendable ladder, much like you d find on a fire truck, and a remote controlled platform to move items between an outside moving truck and a residence multiple stories up. If your home is on too high of a floor, you will be unable to use a ladder truck due to safety reasons and must use an elevator. If your move requires one of these, the size of the ladder truck will be determined by the height and you will pay twice; for moving out of your old residence and once again for moving into your new home. A one-ton ladder truck A 70 meter five-ton ladder truck Professional Cleaners If you are concerned about the previous tenants leaving a mess and want your home sparkling clean before your move, you can hire a cleaning company. A cleaning service can be helpful as cleaning the entire home before your belongings get moved in can be difficult to impossible depending on both time and energy. If interested, the term is 창고업체 ( 倉庫業體, changgo eopche ). 4.9 lectricity South Korean electricity is 220 volts. Plugs are Type C and Type F, as specified by the International lectrotechnical Commission. Plugs consist of two round pins sized 4.0 to 4.8 mm spaced 19 mm apart. The plug type is nicknamed pig nose in Korean ( 돼지코, dwaejiko) as per the resembling shape. If you are bringing over electronics with a different plug face, you ll need an adaptor ( 돼지코어댑터, dwaejiko eodaepteo or 콘센트어댑터, konsenteu eodaepteo ). If your electronics run on 110 volts, you ll need a power transformer ( 변압기, 變壓器, byeonapgi ) and sometimes written as 가정용변압기 ( 家庭用變壓器, gajeongyong byeonapgi ). Power connection is provided by Korea lectric Power Corporation (KPCO). They can be contacted by phone at 123 (for nglish press 3 and then 7) or online at co.kr (K, ). Power is charged on a tier system with businesses and residential on different tier systems. ach month s billing cycle starts with the basic cost and then use kwh is charged on top of that. Once a user uses the maximum kwh in a tier, they go up to the next tier level. Living In Korea 56

55 This triggers the basic cost again and each kwh is charged at a set price. The highest tier, over 1,000 kwh, is only used July to August and December to February. Power is not cut off if you exceed 1,000 kwh in other months, but you simply stay in tier three. The price of electricity is set nationally, so prices are not different from one city to another or one region to another. Nationwide charges for residential electricity usage as of August 2018 kwh tiers Basic cost (won) Won per kwh Ⅱ 0~ ~400 1, ~1,000 7, Over 1, Gas In decades past, gas was provided to buildings in individual LP gas containers. While this still exists, the system has been almost completely replaced with gas pipes laid under city streets. Building have one central hookup and then is spread throughout the building. Gas is sold by Korea City Gas Association ( 한국도시가스협회, 韓國都市가스協會, Hanguk Dosi Gaseu Hyeopoe ) and known as City Gas for short ( 도시가스, 都市가스, dosi gaseu ). To use gas in your home, you must contact City Gas for hookup. A service person will come to your home to complete the hookup, check for gas leaks during the year and certify the line is safe, and will disconnect you when you move out. nglish service does not currently exist, so you ll need help contacting the company to get started. Their website is (K) and you will need an Alien Registration Card or a passport for billing purposes Water In the winter months, the weather often drops to below freezing temperatures. To avoid water pipes freezing and bursting, make sure the temperature doesn t get too cold inside your home when you leave. This isn t a problem if you are living in your residence, this is more of a problem for if you leave on vacation. You can set your heater control to 외출 ( 外出, oechul ) which will keep your home just warm enough to keep pipes from freezing. Another method is to leave the water running in a sink. As the water is constantly moving, it should not get a chance to freeze. If you are concerned about pipes freezing outside of your home, you can place insulation material on the water meter to keep it from freezing. Most homes have an electric water heater in a room with a washing machine. Check the insulation on that unit to make sure it doesn t freeze there. Chapter 1 Housing

56 4.12 Garbage The garbage system in Korea is based on how much you throw away, as opposed to a monthly general payment system. Trash bags are sold on a district by district basis ( 구, 區, gu ) and are sold at convenience stores, local grocery stores, and larger grocery stores. You may be restricted on only buying them with cash but seems to be changing. The prices, sizes of the bags, colors the bags, times to dispose of trash, and days trash is picked up will all vary significantly. There are two types of bags, general trash ( 일반용쓰레기봉투, 一般用쓰레기封套, ilbanyong sseuregi bongtu ) and food trash ( 음식물용쓰레기봉투, 飮食物用쓰레기封套, eumsingmuryong sseuregi bongtu ). Bags are sold in liters and the most common sizes for general trash bags is 10, 20, and 100. The most common sizes for food trash are 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 10 liters. Some districts will require you place the bags in plastic containers so street cats and bugs cannot rip open the bags. If you do not separate your food trash from your general trash, or if you use the wrong bag, you may receive a penalty from your district. Usually they take a picture of the offending trash bag, a picture of the offending item within the trash, and a picture of contact information indicating you are responsible usually an envelope with your name and address. These images and a fine will be sent to your residence. Apartment complexes will have a dedicated area with separated recycling containers and may be restricted for use only on certain days. Some apartments use a weight system and charge by weight. This system is slowly spreading in Korea. For all other types of residences, the norm is to find the places on the side of the street where people put their general trash bags, their food trash bags, and recyclables. The days and hours for these may also be restricted. For disposal near the side of the road, all recyclable items must be placed inside transparent or semitransparent bags. Ask your landlord for pertinent information on garbage so you do not get in trouble. The cities of Songdo and Sejong both use automated vacuum collection for their food and general trash systems. Trucks still come around to collect recycling and large trashed items, but the staffing for waste management in the city is significantly reduced compared to other cities. Trash rules and regulations and flyers giving updates on these are rarely translated, even in the international districts in. If in doubt, or if you see a new flyer, take it or take a picture of it and get someone to translate it so you don t unknowingly break a garbage law. Living In Korea 58

57 General Waste General waste is everything that can fit inside a standardized trash bag that isn t food and isn t recyclable. ach bag includes a maximum fill line. You are not allowed to put trash beyond that line. Only fill the bag to that line, tie it closed, and place at the appropriate disposal location on the correct day and within the correct hours Food Waste Biodegradable waste is not necessarily food waste. A good rule of thumb for knowing what is food trash and what isn t, is by gauging if a pig could eat the trash and remain healthy. Leftover food, expired food, and anything else that was or is edible are acceptable. Shells, exoskeletons from seafood, feathers, bones, large seeds, chili peppers or chili paste, and items like tea bags are not easily digestible and therefore not food trash. If you dehydrate the food before you place it into the bag, you can place more food waste. Also if you slowly accumulate food trash, a good trick is to store the bag in your freezer. The cold temperature prevents the food was rotting and you can use the bag longer. Ⅱ Prohibited food waste Fruit Hard shells: walnuts, chestnuts, peanuts, acorns, or coconuts Fruit skins: avocados, pineapples, and peaches Large seeds: apricots, persimmons, or avocados Meat Seafood Bones and feathers Shells or exoskeletons: clams, turban shells, abalone, ark shells, sea squirts, oysters, crawfish, lobster, etc Internal organs of poisonous fish Other Tea bags, grounds of herbal medicine Recycling All recycling should either be sorted into the proper bins at apartment complexes, or placed into transparent or semitransparent bags and tied closed. Food and all other residue must be removed before the items are disposed of.

To dispose of these items, visit your district or neighborhood government office and purchase a special disposal sticker 폐기물스티커 ( 廢棄物스티커, pyegimul seutikeo ). You will need to tell the office what you are throwing away to get the correct sticker. You may need to tell them the day, time, and location of disposal, depending on the item. ach local government office charges different fees for the collection of large waste. You can visit a district ( 구청, 區廳, gucheong ) or neighborhood office ( 동사무소, 洞事務所, dongsamuso or 주민센터, 住民센터, jumin senteo ).

With some prevention and checking occasionally, you ll be able to avoid mold from growing in your home and the hassle of cleaning it. In their most basic form, mold needs a moist warm area. In a nutshell, remove the moisture and you shouldn t have problems. Bathrooms are the perfect environment for mold to grow as they are both warm and moist. Many families do not want their bathroom door open for everyone to see and therefore keep the bathroom door closed at all times. As it is rare for people to visit others homes, there actually aren t many chances for people to see inside a bathroom, door closed or not. If you are concerned about mold, consider leaving the bathroom door open long enough for the temperature to return to home temperature and dry out. A good method to remove moisture from your sock drawer or other small enclosed areas is with moisture absorbing products. A popular brand is 물먹는하마 ( 물먹는河馬, mulmeongneun hama ), but other brands exist as well. These ( 제습제, 除濕製, jeseupje ) products come sealed, usually with a thin gray plastic layer, that need to be removed before they can suck the moisture out of the air. Be careful to only remove that gray layer and not the white layer under it. That underlying white layer helps to keep the moisture in the container. After some time has gone by, water will collect inside which you can hear when you shake the container. To dispose of the collected water, cut one or two holes in the white layer as two holes help to drain it faster, empty the water into a sink, throw away the white layer and recycle the plastic tub. Chapter 1 Housing

62 Winter Mold from condensation are a real concern during the colder months. As the weather outside gets colder, you will make more efforts to keep it nice and warm with your floor heater ( 온돌, 溫突 / 溫契, ondol ), electric blankets ( 전기이불, 電氣이불, jeongi ibul ), or high power consuming electric heaters ( 전기난방기구, 電氣煖房器具 / 電氣暖房器具, jeongi nanbang gigu ). This long-term temperature difference will result in condensation developing on the inside of your home. This is common on windows and sometimes in the corner of a room with an outside wall as the temperature difference will be highest there. The hotter the inside your home and the colder outside will home will increase the condensation. One of the best ways to rid your home of the condensation that forms mold, is to air out your home. The outside air in winter months is quite dry. Opening your windows for 10 or 15 minutes is usually enough to dry up condensation and remove molds before it occurs. You might want to consider doing this in the morning, right before you leave home so you don't make the home cold right after coming back from work Summer Do laundry on days it isn't raining and give them extra time to dry. Also make sure not to run the washing machine after 8 as it usually takes around an hour to complete and the reverberation can go into your neighbor's homes as well. Putting a fan ( 선풍기, 扇風機, seonpunggi ) on your laundry can help speed up the process. And if your clothes still have a mildew smell to them, consider getting a dehumidifier ( 제습기, 除濕機, jeseupgi ) Removing Mold If mold has already developed in your home, you'll need to dry the area and kill the mold. Mold killers ( 곰팡이제거제, 곰팡이除去製, gompangi jegeoje ) are readily available in larger grocery stores and sometimes smaller ones. Spray, wipe, and dry. Walls are normally concrete with wallpaper covering, so you can scrub to a certain degree, being careful not to damage the wallpaper. But ceilings are not always solid, which means if you press them hard when trying to scrub the mold, you may pop a hole in your ceiling. Ceiling damaged by scrubbing too hard Living In Korea 64

63 Chapter 2 Transportation 1. Transportation Cards Called transport cards, transportation cards, or even sometimes traffic cards, 교통카드 ( 交通카드, gyotong kadeu) are the norm. They will speed up your usage of public transportation and will provide free transfers between subways and buses, and buses with other buses. They also give users a lower rate for riding public transit and can be used in taxis, convenience stores, and some vending machines. T-money and Cash-bee are competing companies both offering transport cards. They used to operate in different parts of Korea with T-money focusing on the greater area and Cash-bee everywhere else. Today they can be used interchangeably through most of the nation. Purchasable in convenience stores, in some subway stations, and other random stores, they are well worth the money. Cards can come empty or with an initial balance. Cards are refilled in subway stations at ticket machines and in convenience stores. As it is much more convenient for people to tap a card against a reader in a bus as opposed to counting cash and getting change from the bus driver, and offering free transfers between various modes of public transportation, they have all but erased cash purchases and single-use tickets in subways. Single-use subway tickets are still available and could be a plastic token or a plastic card, depending on the city. If you purchase a single-use plastic card ticket, it includes a deposit of 500 won, which is returnable via machine after existing the subway stalls. Single-use tickets have different prices for different distances. Make sure to chart your course and get the correct ticket, otherwise the system will block you from exiting. Ⅱ 2.

64 Single-use subway tickets are still available and could be a plastic token or a plastic card, depending on the city. If you purchase a single-use plastic card ticket, it includes a deposit of 500 won, which is returnable via machine after existing the subway stalls. Single-use tickets have different prices for different distances. Make sure to chart your course and get the correct ticket, otherwise the system will block you from exiting. 2.1 Lost and Found ach lines operates a lost and found center ( 분실물센터, 紛失物센터, bunsilmul senteo ). Lost items are collected at the very last stop when the train is pulled off the line. Found items are brought to each corresponding lost and found center. If you forget an item on a subway car, do not panic. Travel to the nearest subway office or ticket window and provide transit officers on duty with whatever details you can provide. This can include the direction you were traveling and which car you left your belongings in. If possible, the officers will signal the car to retrieve the lost item before the last station. If you lost an item on a previous day, staff can inform you where the lost and found center is located and might be able to check remotely to see if they have your item. 2.2 Subway Crime Crimes such as sexual harassment and pickpocketing can be reported to the 112 police hotline. You can also make a report in person at the corresponding subway station office or to crime units that consist of officers who patrol various stops on the metro. In recent years, subway cars in are getting CCTV installed within cars. Some stations also include safe zones ( 안전구역, 安全區域, anjeon guyeok ) which are areas on platforms with better CCTV coverage. A Safe Zone on a subway platform in Living In Korea 66

65 3. Buses 3.1 Intra-city Buses Intra-city buses ( 시내버스, 市內버스, sinae beoseu ) run within a city. Most people pay with a transit card by tapping it on a card reader, but paying by cash is an option. nter towards the front of the bus, exit in the middle. Maps at bus stops are rarely translated. Some buses have LD displays with Korean and nglish and bilingual station announcements, but this varies by city and line. Major stops are posted on the side of buses and are sometimes bilingual. If you are unsure which bus to take, you can ask the driver before boarding. If he/she shakes their hand, take it as a no." Marked with blue paint, a number of bus lanes exist on major roads which helps during commute hours. More buses will run during commute hours and buses are more crowded in winter months as people don t want to walk and wear bulkier clothing. As bus routes are significantly cheaper to create than new subway lines, every city has a number of buses that transverse it. Routes change on occasion but that is rare for developed cities. Buses are operated with government subsidies so even quieter areas have bus connectivity. Ⅱ 3.2 xpress and Intercity Buses xpress buses ( 고속버스, 高速버스, gosok beoseu ) and intercity buses ( 시외버스, 市外버스, sioe beoseu ) operate similarly. Both require you to purchase tickets before boarding the bus, and both will take you to different cities. xpress buses will typically only stop as a rest stop, if at all. Intercity buses will have more stops along the way. Fares are affordable and many buses have a few seats open so you can arrive at a bus terminal and get a ticket on the next departing bus. Friday nights, weekends, and holidays have a greater chance of being sold out, so try and get tickets ahead of time. Buying tickets via a smartphone is only possible with Korean language apps and downloads are sometimes region restricted to Korea. As personal schedules can change, many people buy several tickets, use only one and cancel the other(s). This incurs a small fee and also opens up seats last minute. If your Korean is good enough to use the apps and the bus you want is sold out, keep refreshing the page to see if a ticket opens up before departure. There are three types of express buses; general ( 일반, 一般, ilba n), luxury, ( 우등, 優等, udeung ), and from September 2016 premium ( 프리미엄, peurimieom ). General buses have four seats per row and are slowly being phased out. Luxury have three seats per row with two on the left and one on the right, which means more personal space and the seats are more comfortable and legroom is extended. Premium have even more legroom, personal privacy curtains, UBS charging, and can recline farther than other seat types. Chapter 2 Transportation

66 Many cities have multiple terminals. Not all terminals will connect with all cities. To check routes and schedules, go to (K,, J, C). 4. Taxis Taxis ( 택시, taeksi ) exist all over Korea. Common taxi colors and starting price can vary by city. Service has improved in recent years in exchange for a higher, yet still affordable starting rate. Taxi types include general ( 일반, 一般, ilban ), deluxe ( 모범, 模範, mobeom ), privately owned ( 개인, 個人, gaein ), international, and vans. Living In Korea Trains Korea has had a number of different kinds of trains in its history. Currently, most trains are Mugunghwa, ITX- Saemaeul, KTX, or SRT but some exceptions exist. All trains up until SRT have been run by KORAIL. SRT was introduced to encourage price competition and yet shares a majority of track with KORAIL. Both SRT and KTX are bullet trains allowing travel from to in about two and one-half hours at speeds up to 300 km per hour. ITX-Saemaeul is the reborn Saemaeul class, is next fastest after KTX and SRT, and travels the to route in four hours. Named after the national flower of Korea, Mugunghwa are the slowest trains in wide service. Mugunghwa trains are still widely used because they make many stops not serviced by the faster trains. KORAIL tickets can be purchased by the Korail Talk app, in person at a train station ticket machine or at a counter, or online at (K,, J, C). Their call center has nglish service at SRT tickets can be purchased on their SRT app, online at a rail station, or online but only in Korean at Once you have purchased your ticket, confirm the information on it is correct. Tickets will state the train number, the train carriage, and the seat number or if it is a standing ticket. Stations will display the platform number and will begin to blink when the time gets close. Tickets can be returned before the departure time stated on the ticket but the closer the departure time, the higher the fee. If the train has already departed, you can return the ticket

67 in person at a station. If the train has arrived at its destination, you will be unable to return the ticket. 6. Airplanes Korean Air is the flag carrier of Korea. The other domestic airline is Asiana. Both these, a growing list of low-cost carriers, and a number of overseas airlines service Korea. The main airport is Incheon International Airport and located just west of on the coast. Many other cities have domestic or international airports, and the distinction sometimes changes when new routes open or old routes close. When searching for airline tickets, you might want to check with several companies and several airports to see the best price and best times for your trip Ⅱ Primary domestic airlines Korean Air National flag carrier Asiana Airlines Formerly Airlines Domestic low-cost carriers Air Asiana Airlines subsidiary Air Philip Opened 2018 Air Pohang Opened 2018 Air Asiana Airlines subsidiary astar Jet U-Fly Alliance member Jeju Air Value Alliance member Jin Air Korean Air subsidiary T way Air Formerly Hansung Air 7. Driving in Korea All people wishing to drive in Korea need a driver s license. There are several ways to do this; if you have a license in your home country and prepared an international permit, you are covered until the permit expires. If you have a license from overseas but no international permit before coming you Korea, you have two options; temporary exchange or get a new license. A number of countries licenses can be exchanged for a Korean license while you are living in Korea. The last option is to get tested and hopefully gain a Korean license. Chapter 2 Transportation

68 7.1 International Permit An international permit ( 국제운전면허, 國際運轉免許, gukje unjeon myeonheo ) and a valid driver s license from a signatory country of the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic are legal for driving in Korea. As Korea can only give international permits for Korean driver s licenses, you must obtain the international permit for your license in the country that issued the license before you come to Korea. This booklet states your license is valid, what restrictions exist for it, and is valid for up to one year. Once the permit expires, despite the expiration date on the license itself, you cannot legally drive in Korea. Upon expiration, international permits cannot be renewed. 7.2 License xchange Valid driver s licenses from a number of different countries can be exchanged for a Korean driver s license. This is a temporary exchange as your license is held and can be returned to you before you leave Korea. To get your original license back, you must return your Korean license and show your passport and airline ticket. For full information on this and other driving topics, visit the Road Traffic Authority Driver s License xamination Office s website at dl.koroad.or.kr (K, ). Valid driver s licenses from the following countries can be exchanged for a Korean driver s license.

Individuals who possess temporary, provisional, probationary, permit, certificate, or a motorcycle license cannot exchange them for Korean licenses. If you do not have a full license or have a motorcycle license, you must complete the application process for new license in Korea. This exchange program is designed for international residents living in Korea and not for people visiting on a short trip. This is proven by showing your Alien Registration Card (ARC). This identification card is only obtainable from Immigration for visa classes valid over 90 days. More information on this process in the Visa and Immigration section. If you do not have this card yet, you must wait until you get the ARC before you can apply for the driver s license exchange. As Korea cannot confirm which licenses are official and which are not, your embassy needs to provide a certificate declaring your license is valid. You will also need to get a certificate of entry and exit ( 출입국사실증명서, 出入國事實證明書, churipguk sasil jeungmyeongseo ) showing your stays in Korea. This document will be available at a Korean local government office. The day you are applying for the exchange, you will need to bring your passport and three photos (3.5 cm x 4.5 cm) taken within the last six months. You ll also need to undergo a basic physical, which will cost 6,000 won, and need to pay a 7,500-won fee for the new license to be created. If your overseas license is not in the list above, you ll need to take a simple written exam and 7,500 won to take the exam. The written test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions. The test is available in nglish, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Mongolian, Filipino, Cambodian, and Korean. Ⅱ 7.3 Korean Driver s License If you do not have an international permit or do not have a valid license to exchange, you need to go through the testing procedure to manually obtain a license. Driver s License Test Centers ( 전국면허시험장, 全國免許試驗場, jeonguk myeonheo siheomjang ) are located in 26 locations. Unlike licensing in the United States, Korea operates their licensing system on a federal level. This means it doesn t matter where you take the exam as it is unified. You can also move to a different province and still use the same license; it is valid no matter where you live in Korea. For detailed information, please visit the website or call Driving Schools If you need some practice behind the wheel of a car, you can attend a driving school. Chapter 2 Transportation

70 Called 운전학원 ( 運轉學院, unjeon hagwon ) or 자동차학원 ( 自動車學院, jadongcha hagwon ), they will teach you the rules and how to drive a car. One drawback of driving schools is that they often do not provide sufficient number of instructors who speak foreign languages fluently. Ask admin staff at your Center to contact local driving centers to see if they have an instructor who can speak your language. 7.4 Traffic Regulations and Violations Before driving it is a good idea to study how Korea s driving system is different than what you have experienced before. Not knowing traffic regulations will not protect you from getting penalty points against your license. Penalty points for each violation are presented in the following tables. Detailed information about violations and fines can be obtained from the homepage of KoRoad ( 도로교통공단, 道路交通公團, Doro Gyotong Gongdan ) at or.kr. Penalty points for traffic violations Violation Points Penalties 1. License has expired more than one year prior 110 points (not included in accumulated points) 2.

72 7.5 Designated Driver Korea is a drinking country and many people drink alcohol. If you drove and then had drinks while out, do not drive home. There is a safe way to get you and your car driven home at any time of night. Available in several smartphone apps and available by calling a call center, you can get a designated driver ( 대리운전, 代理運轉, daeri unjeon ) to drive you and your guests back to your home in your car. As the call center will probably only speak Korean, when you pay your bill at the restaurant or bar, tell the staff you want a designed driver and they can call one of the companies on your behalf. ven if you speak Korean very well, it helps having a sober individual who knows the area to make the phone call for you. Different companies exist in different cities, so we cannot provide a list here. However, next to the cashier usually are multiple business cards for companies that operate in that area. And again, the staff working can make the call on your behalf, which makes the process even simpler. Tell staff you want a designated driver, or point to one of the business cards, and tell them where you want to go. Some drivers can take you to a neighboring city, for example if you go drinking in Sejong City, you can get a driver to take you home in Daejeon. As you pay the driver directly, you will need to pay in cash. Price will depend on the distance and city but is roughly the price of a taxi fare. ven if you are going a long distance, this service will be cheaper than taking a taxi home and a taxi back. And parking your car at home means you don t need to worry about where you parked your car was it legally parked? Will I get a ticket? 7.6 Car Purchase Purchase New Vehicle If you want to purchase a new vehicle in Korea, you can visit a car dealership and buy it after discussing with the sellers. Car prices are the same, but each dealership and dealer offers different promotions, so when purchasing a car, it s a good idea to visit several dealers and then decide. Generally, a Korean driver s license and ARC is required to purchase a vehicle. Upon purchase of the vehicle, you will need to register it. On request, a car manufacturer or dealership can handle vehicle registration ( 자동차등록, 自動車登錄, jadongcha deungnok ). Vehicle registration can also be done at a province, city, or district government office. Driving a brand new vehicle without registration will result in imprisonment for up to two years or a fine up to five million won The following documents are required for registration of a new or imported vehicle. 1. Alien Registration Card, Korean driver s license or overseas license and international permit, and passport 2. Application form ( 등록신청서, 登錄申請書, deungnok sincheongseo ) 3. Copy of vehicle manufacture certificate ( 자동차제작증, 自動車製作證, jadongcha jejakjeung ) for new vehicles or one copy of import declaration certificate for imported vehicles 4. Certificate of valid liability vehicle insurance ( 보험가입증권, 保險加入證券, boheom gaip jeunggwon ) Living In Korea 74

73 5. Proof of temporary permission to drive the vehicle ( 임시운행허가증명, 臨時運行許可證明, imsi unhaeng heoga jeungmyeong) and temporary licence plates 6. If you cannot provide the document 3 certificate, you must provide ownership certificate ( 소유증명서, 所有證明書, soyu jeungmyeongseo ) 7. Registration tax receipt ( 세금계산서, 稅金計算書, segeum gyesanseo ) Additional registration fees will vary depening on the city Purchase Used Vehicle The purchase of a used vehicle from an accredited used vehicle dealer is safer because problems related to quality on the car should be less than with a private purchase. If a buyer purchases a vehicle directly from another individual, it might be difficult to check the vehicle s condition. As a result, it may be difficult to obtain compensation if problems occur after the purchase. Prior to the purchase of a vehicle, it is important to check the vehicle s overall performance by taking a test drive. A performance check record ( 자동차성능검사기록, 自動車性能檢査記錄, jadongcha seongneung geomsa girok ) of the vehicle can be obtained from the dealer. Because the details of the inspection are recorded on the performance check record, based on this record, a buyer can obtain free repairs or claim compensation for defects that might occur within the period guaranteed by the dealer following the purchase of the vehicle. With respect to a used vehicle, if defects occur within 30 days of the vehicle s transfer date or within a period of use up to 2,000 km, a buyer can demand free repairs or claim compensation related to the respective items noted on the performance check record. If a buyer purchases a used vehicle from a registered dealer, vehicle transfer registration is easier because the dealer performs the vehicle transfer registration ( 자동차이전등록, 自動車移轉登錄, jadongcha ijeon deungnok ) on behalf of the buyer. Alternatively, the dealer may provide all related documents to the buyer. If a used vehicle is purchased from an individual, a buyer must obtain documents required for transfer registration, such as an original copy of the vehicle registration card ( 자동차등록증, 自動車登錄證, jadongcha deungno k) and a certificate of the owner s registered seal ( 인감증명서, 印鑑證明書, ingam jeungmyeongseo ) for ownership transfer registration ( 소유권이전등록, 所有權移轉登錄, soyugwon ijeon deungnok ) from the seller. Prior to paying for the purchase, a buyer should check to ensure that the vehicle is not under seizure ( 압수, 押收, apsu ) because of unpaid fines or taxes by the Traffic Administration Department of the city or district under the jurisdiction of the previous owner s residence. If unpaid vehicle taxes or fines have been imposed because of violation(s) that occurred during the seller s operation of the vehicle, a transfer of ownership to the buyer will not be possible until unpaid fines are paid in full. Ⅱ Used Vehicle Registration If you purchase a used vehicle from a car dealer, on most occasions, the dealer will apply for the registration on your behalf. If you do not apply for a registration Chapter 2 Transportation

74 transfer ( 자동차이전등록, 自動車移轉登錄, jadongcha ijeon deungnok ) at a city or district office, then the previous owner can apply for the transfer. You must register your used vehicle within a specified period of time; 15 days for purchase, 20 days for donation, 3 months for inheritance, 15 days for other transactions. Failure to register the transaction may result in fines of up to 500,000 won. The following documents are required for registration of used vehicle. You can apply at a province, city or district government office. 1. Application of used vehicle transfer ( 이전등록신청서 ) 2. Certificate of seal impression ( 인감증명서 ) and legal seal ( 법적인감 ) from previous owner. You should note on the application that use of the certificate is solely for delivery reasons. You must also provide your name and alien registration number. 3. Car registration (you or the previous owner can apply on your behalf) Car Imported as Part of Moving Cargo If you enter Korea with the intent to reside for at least one year, or are accompanying a family member who intends to stay for at least six months, you are eligible to import a vehicle from overseas. The vehicle must be recognized by Customs as part of your moving cargo. The vehicle must be a small-to medium sized vehicle. Small vehicles and sedans are ideal. Trucks, mobile homes, and other vehicles that exceed passenger space for ten persons are prohibited from importation. Vehicles must have been used for at least three months prior to departure date. Vehicles must be registered under applicants own names. Applicants must provide vehicle registrations and insurance documents as proof. Taxes and tariffs: 2,000 cc or more (34.24%); 800 cc 2,000 cc (26.52%); 800 cc or less (18.8%). To obtain vehicle and emission inspection information, please visit the Korea Transportation Safety Authority s website or call To obtain additional information related to gas and noise emissions, please visit the National Institute of nvironmental Research s website If gas and noise emissions exceed standards, your car may not be allowed to bed registered in Korea. 7.7 Change of Address When you move your residence, you need to update the address of your car registration as well ( 주소지변경 ). Individuals who fail to register their new addresses within 15 days of their moves will be fined up to 2,000,000 won. You may register the vehicle at a province, city, or district government level. You will need to bring one copy of car registration and might need to change your license plates. 7.8 Automobile Insurance To drive in Korea you must have insurance for your car ( 자동차보험 ) but driver insurance is optional ( 운전자보험 ). Car insurance covers damages to other person(s) and car(s). Driver insurance provides compensation for criminal or administrative responsibilities that results Living In Korea 76

75 from the traffic accident. Driver insurance covers 11 forms of gross negligence which are not covered by car insurance. It is worth noting that drunk driving and unlicensed driving are not covered by either insurance. Driver insurance also covers car accident fines, settlement money, legal fees, and other financial issues. To own and operate a vehicle in Korea, automobile insurance is required. Most companies will have limited nglish support, so the websites and phone numbers listed below may not be useful to you without a translator. Ⅱ List of vehicle insurance companies AIG Korea MG Direct KB Insurance Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance Hanhwa General Insurance Tel: , Tel: Tel: , (nglish) Tel: , Tel: Tel: , Vehicle Roadworthiness xam All drivers are required by the Automobile Management Act to bring their vehicles in for roadworthiness checkups ( 자동차정기검사 ). With respect to non-business purpose vehicles, this test should be completed every two years starting from the initial vehicle registration day and ends in the fourth year. Regular tests should be completed within 31 days prior of expiration of the valid term. It is recommended that you remain aware of the term of validity. Penalty fines begin to accumulate after your initial 30-day period; 20,000 won will be charged after the end of the valid term and will continue to be charged up to 30 days after the end of the valid term. From that point on, an additional 10,000 won will be charged every three days. The maximum penalty is 300,000 won. If an unavoidable event occurs that prevents your vehicle from being tested during that period, you can apply for test deferment. You can obtain regular vehicle tests from the Road Traffic Authority or from private repair centers ( 카센터 ) authorized by the Road Traffic Authority. In addition, vehicles registered in certain areas (as specified by law) must receive exhaust emission tests. They are required in areas that contain populations of 500,000 or more or in locations designated as air pollution control areas. The validity terms, test methods, and penalty fines imposed for test omissions are the same terms, methods, and fines for regular tests. Chapter 2 Transportation

76 7.10 Parking Parking can be difficult in crowded areas and if you don t know parking rules. If you park in a non-parking area, your vehicle may be towed and you will get fined. You may park in public parking lots, commercial lots, on the street when the line is painted white and not yellow, or in commercial street parking. Public parking lot Residential Parking Apartments will provide parking without extra fees. You may need to register the vehicle and get a sticker showing it is allowed to park in their lot. Population density and an increasing population that owns cars has resulted in insufficient parking, even in apartment parking lots. If you want a guaranteed parking space, you can rent access to resident-prioritized parking areas. These provide parking priority to residents of particular areas by setting aside marked parking blocks on roads or on land managed by public organizations. Resident-prioritized parking areas are managed by public agencies. Residents must pay certain fees. Qualifications - Residents who maintain vehicles registered in neighboring areas - Residents who commute via company vehicles who reside in certain areas - Individuals who desire to use parking spaces because their workplaces are located close Living In Korea 78

77 Selection Criteria 1. Distance between residence and a parking block applied 2. Number of vehicles applied per household 3. ngine displacement (engine size) 4. Years of residence 5. Special added points - The selection system makes first assignments to applicants who score high numbers of points based on the five selection criteria. - Resident-prioritized parking systems differ depending on each district. Therefore, applicants should carefully check requirements prior to making applications. Ⅱ 7.11 Rental Cars Finding rental car companies where you can use nglish is difficult. If the language barrier is not an issue, you should be able to rent a vehicle if you have a Korean driver s license or one from your home country and international permit. You must be at least 21 years old and may need to present a passport. If you are a new driver, you may be declined a rental car if you have less than one year driving experience Hi-pass Rental car companies with nglish websites Lotte Rent-a-Car (K, ) AJ Rent-a-car (K, ) Hi-pass, written 하이패스 in Korean, is a brand of toll highways primarily operated by the Korea xpressway Corporation. They offer high driving speeds than highways and usually have less congestion than highways as well. In years past, you had to enter the system and go through tolls at additional points other than the exit. These additional toll points are because the operator of that leg of the system changed and they wanted an accurate payment for each Hi-pass operator. In recent years, these intermediately toll points have been replaced by metal trusses over the road which scan Hi-pass cards in vehicles from a distance. The adaption of these trusses has removed a major bottleneck in their system. If you do not have a card, that s okay, you ll simply pay when you exit the Hi-pass expressway. As these are not city roads, you cannot drive a motorcycle or scooter on these, you can only drive a car or truck. If you have purchased a Hi-pass card and installed it in your card, these will be very useful as you do not need to stop, you simply need to drive under 30 km/h so the scanner can read your card remotely and display on a screen that you successfully paid the toll. Please note that these are not transportation cards like you would use for the subway or bus systems. A Hi-pass card is a separate card only used for the expressway. If you do not have a Hi-pass card, you drive through one of the unmanned lanes and grab a ticket. When you exit the system you ll drive through a manned lane, give the ticket, and pay the total as displayed on the LD screen to the left side of the car. If you go through a Hi-pass card lane and do not have a card, a siren will sound and you will get a toll and fee presented to Chapter 2 Transportation

78 you in the mail. Unfortunately, if you cannot read Korean very quickly, it will be very difficult to know which lane to enter. Usually the very left lane(s) are reserved for Hi-pass card holders. These lanes usually have a long, wide, blue line painted on the ground in the middle of their lanes and are marked with 하이패스전용 above on LD signs. The very right most lane is frequently for trucks with Hi-pass cards. If you do not have a card, try to take a different lane and only take a lane marked with a green arrow in LD above the lane, which indicates the lane is open. If there is a red LD X, you will have problems getting through. Some tollgates will have lanes for ticket holders, aka non-card holds, that still say 하이패스 above the lane but lacks the word 전용, for example the Hi-pass entrance in Cheonan City Bus Lanes Bus-only lanes ( 버스전용차선 ), reserved for the exclusive use of authorized buses, are special travel lanes created to benefit those riding buses. Bus lanes have existed in Korea less than twenty years, which means roads were no constructed with them in mind. Creating bus lanes inside cities has resulted in some being in the middle section of roads (the left most lane) and sometimes in the right most lane. In Daejeon, both forms exist. On highways it is the left most land. Bus lanes are marked in the Korean language, and usually are indicated with a blue line. It is worth noting that the blue line you see in a Hi-pass expressway is not reserved for buses. nforcement of bus lanes are done with cameras and these are marked on your GPS navigation systems. Buses and other high occupancy vehicles are allowed to use these but wil differ if on a highway or other roads. Please see the box below for vehicles authorized to use bus-only lanes. Highways 9-passenger vehicles or multi-passenger vehicles. Both should have maximum seating for 12 and need to have at least six passengers on board. Other roads 1. Large-size vehicles with seating for 36 or more passengers 2. Business multi-passenger vehicles with seating for less than Registered school buses. 4. The following multi-passenger vehicles designated by the Commissioner of the local policy agency to facilitate traffic movement: A. Multi-passenger vehicles for school children or commuters operating on a fixed route and seating at least 16. B. Multi-passenger vehicles deemed necessary for the transportation of participants of an international conference, etc. C. Multi-passenger vehicles for foreign tourists operated by a chartered bus operator and which seat 25 people or more. Living In Korea 80

79 8. Motorcycles Motorcycles are more affordable than cars and easier to maneuver around congested city streets. A large number of motorcycles and scooters are in use by students or delivery services. Couriers can often be observed near business districts, especially in downtown areas. Some motorcycle enthusiasts enjoy riding on weekends but the majority of riders prefer motorcycles for economic or convenience reasons. If you are interested in purchasing a motorcycle with engine more than 125 cc, you must obtain a class 2 Korean license (2종소형면허 ). If the engine is smaller than 125 cc, either a class 1 or a class 2 license will be sufficient. Motorcycle driver s licenses from other countries, even if you have an international permit, are not valid in Korea. If you do not possess a Korean motorcycle driver s license, you will need to obtain one. Applicants must be over 18 years old to apply for a license. Other than age, the procedure required to obtain a license remains the same for motorcycles and cars. It is also important to note that motorcycles are not allowed on highways in Korea. Motorcycle companies have tried to change legislation for a number of years but efforts have yet to result in a law change. If you plan to travel a long distance or to use various expressways or highways for your travels, a car is a better choice. Ⅱ 9. Bicycles Roughly a decade ago, a number of bicycle lanes began to be constructed in Korea. Bike riding culture is thus spreading and more cities are creating bicycle lanes marked with the image of a bicycle. Sometimes bicycle lanes are on a car road and sometimes they are in wide sidewalks. Some bicycle lanes have directions marked and others are bidirectional. When sidewalk space has been appropriated for bicycle usage, it is usually repaved and is flatter than sidewalks. This flatter surface draws unknowing pedestrians who don t notice the bike markings on the ground and use this space to walk on. Do be careful of pedestrians wandering into bike lanes. Chapter 2 Transportation

80 In areas where bicycle paths are not installed, bicycle riders must ride at the right edge of the road and are not allowed to ride on sidewalks. When a bike rider wants to make a left turn, they cannot do so directly. They must dismount and use a crosswalk. As bicycles are classified as vehicles, riding a bicycle after drinking alcohol is prohibited. When the blood alcohol concentration is 0.05% or more, a fine of 30,000 won can be issued. Refusal to take a sobriety test will result in a 100,000 won fine. 10. Other Vehicles Segway, electric scooters ( 전기스쿠터 ), and electric motorcycles ( 전기오토바이 ) are classified as a two-wheeled vehicles, aka motorcycles. You are not allowed to drive any of these in parks, sidewalks, or on pedestrian roads. Riders must hold a motorcycle driver s license. Living In Korea 82

81 Chapter 3 Banking 1. Introduction In Korea, you can use a variety of financial instruments and services, such as deposits, funds, and insurance products provided by a variety of financial institutions. However, in some cases, banking transactions for international residents may be restricted by domestic regulations. Maximum transaction amount restrictions, and so forth, may be applied depending on transaction types. Ⅱ 2. Korean Banks A number of Korean banks exist. The table below categories banks into three groups and shows their Korean language logo and nglish language logos. The names are vague for a few so we ve added corresponding notes. Major banks Local banks Government banks Chapter 3 Banking

82 3. Bankbooks Frequently translated as bankbooks, 통장 are small paper booklets 14 cm wide by 8.5 cm tall. These are small enough to fit into your pocket but too big to fit inside a wallet. Korea does not have personal checks, but these bankbooks serve the same purpose as balancing a checkbook; they show all transactions and show the running total. They are not updated by hand but by placing them inside of ATMs or special printers that tellers have. The first page shows banking information, including your name and account number. The last page will have additional bank information or be open for handwritten memos. The other ten pages show transactions, roughly 50 per page. While usage is on a downward trend due to smartphones and internet banking, these books still remain in common usage. If you lost a bankbook or have filled all pages, you will need to meet with a teller to get a new one issued. The magnetic strip on the rear side is usually discarded and you can keep the old bankbook for your own recordkeeping purposes if you wish. 4. Transfers 4.1 Domestic Transfers If you would like to send money to other accounts in Korea, you can transfer money at a bank, ATM, the bank s website, or with the bank s smartphone app. You can transfer funds up to your current balance. If you transfer money to a different bank, you may incur a transaction fee depending on your bank s policy and agreements with other domestic banks. If sending a transfer through a teller, you will need a few items. You ll need identification, the same identification you used to open the account, so either your passport or Alien Registration Card. You ll also need to bring your bankbook or debit card to send funds from your account. 4.2 Automatic Transfers or Payments If you would like to make a regular automatic transfer, you can visit a bank branch and request for automatic transfer ( 자동이체 ). You need to fill out an application form indicating the amount of money and deposit account information. If you transfer money to a different bank, you may incur a transaction fee depending on your bank s policy and agreements with other domestic banks. You can also set auto payment for the monthly housing management fee. 4.3 Overseas Transfers If you would like to send money overseas, you can transfer money at a bank. At designated foreign exchange banks, you can annually transfer up to $50,000 USD (remittance + fees). If you are sending a large amount you may be asked to produce a document that tells how the money was acquired, sometimes translated as certificate of earned income. Different banks charge different fees and apply different restrictions on transfers. Therefore, it is recommended that you compare information from different banks before setting up your account or you can set up an account at another bank later. Living In Korea 84

83 Depending on the bank and the destination country, you can send funds via an ATM or the bank s website. Korean banks only deal with a limited number of currencies. If you are sending money overseas into a currency your bank does not normally work with, you may have your money transferred into a major currency first, for example uro or USD, and then into the destination currency. 5. Internet and Mobile Banking Ⅱ 5.1 Internet Banking Internet banking ( 인터넷뱅킹 ) refers to a web-based banking through a computer and web browser, almost exclusively Internet xplorer. Internet banking which enables transferring money, making payments for tax or utility fees, or general management of your account. For security protocols, you will need a pin code from a security card or OTP card and digital certificate. Depending on the bank, you might use the digital certificate to login or might have a separate ID and password. 5.2 Mobile Banking Usually called mobile banking, this is the ability to access your account and do the same kind of activities as internet banking but via an app-based banking service through smartphones. Mobile banking also requires security card or OTP card and digital certificate. Depending on the bank, you might use the digital certificate to login or might have a separate ID and password. 5.3 Security Card A security card ( 보안카드 ) is an identification card with a many sets of numbers that are used for internet or mobile banking. The front of the card shows the bank and the back of the card has all the important security information. These cards have a special ID number at the top right of the card. This eight-digit code identifies the card and connects the card to your account. Most of the card displays 30 random number combinations, each four digits long. When you want to complete a transaction, you ll be asked to enter the first two numbers from a randomly selected section and the last two numbers from another randomly selected section. See sample below. If you lose your security card, you will get another one with different sets of numbers. Reverse of security card (left) and website or smartphone app requesting specific numbers (right) Image provided by website. Chapter 3 Banking

84 5.4 OTP Stick OTP ( 오티피카드 ) is a device that generates single use passwords for internet or smartphone transactions. These devices provide an extra layer of security as their password can only be used once so your password cannot get stolen or copied. A new password is generated every minute. You can estimate how long it will take for a new password to be generated through the time bar on the left. These devices can also replace the security cards mentioned previously. Like all banking items, if yours is lost or stolen you need to report it to the bank so it can be deactivated and a new one issued. OTP stick front (left) and reverse with serial number (right) 5.5 Digital Certificates A digital certificate ( 공인인증서 ) is an electronic certificate stored on a smartphone, hard drive, or USB stick. ven if you have a security card or OTP, you will not be able to do electronic banking without one of these. Usually valid only for one year, they are very tiresome to move to another medium, for example moving from your smartphone to your PC, and can be tricky to set up. 6. Cards 6.1 Debit Cards Debit cards, usually directly translated as check cards ( 체크카드 ), will be the easiest to obtain. They are directly tied with your bank account and can only be used if your account has enough funds. If you try to withdraw more than is in your account, the transaction will be declined. There is no financial penalty for when this happens. Usually a vague message appears on the register and you may get an error text message on your smartphone telling you about the insufficient funds. When getting a new card issued, banks normally mail the card and require you sign for it. As packages get delivered during working hours, you should consider getting it sent to your work as it will be easier to sign for it. Korean citizens can get a debit card with transportation card functions. Their debit card is used for public transportation and the total at the end of the month is deducted from the bank account at the end of the month. This service used to exist for international residents as well but seems to have been discontinued. Living In Korea 86

85 6.2 Credit Cards While very common for Koreans to have, credit cards ( 신용카드 ) are extremely difficult for international residents to get. What some residents are able to get a credit card, it is more like a debit card that has some of the benefits of credit cards as transactions are not taken on credit, they are taken from a deposited balance. In the case of KB Hana, your credit card limit will be 90 percent of that deposit. In order to have the deposit returned, you must cancel your credit card. As IBS is a government funded research institute, you have a better chance at obtaining a credit card as your position effectively vouches for you. In addition to identification, you may need to present documentation showing employment, tax invoice, pay slips, bank transactions, or other documents. An annual membership fee is frequently charged for the issuance of a credit card. The fee is charged each year beginning with the month of issuance and is divided into a basic annual membership fee and affiliated service fees (with the exception of family and corporate cards). The basic annual membership fee is charged once per year regardless of the number of cards you might possess. Affiliated service fees are charged for each separate card you possess. Annual membership fees can be waived if certain criteria are met. Different cards, even offered by the same company, can have different criteria for each card, so it is important you ask and confirm the details. Ⅱ 6.3 Lost or Stolen Cards Like all banking items, if your card is lost or stolen you need to report it to the bank or company so it can be deactivated and a new card issued. ach card company or bank has their own hotline contact number, and you can simply report your loss or theft of the card and deactivate it. If you face language problems to report via phone, you can visit the bank with the identification you used to open your account, aka your Alien Registration Card or passport, to have the card deactivated. If you get your card back, you might be able to reactivate it. If you cannot get the card back, they will issue a new one. 7. Payment of Taxes and Fees Sometimes translated as public charges, 공과금 can cover local tax, property tax, automobile tax, national income tax, gift tax, penalties or fines from the government, utility fees, management fees, or telecommunication fees. When you need to pay for any of these, a bill will be posted to your residence, in a mailbox. 7.1 Payment to Assigned Bank Account ach bill states a number of special use bank accounts that are only used for you or only for your building. You are given a list of these to choose from, each with a different bank. The rational is that if enough banks are listed, chances are you have an account at one of them. Let s say for example you have an account at Woori Bank. If Woori Bank is listed on your bill, you can pay the bill and avoid service fees as you are doing a transfer within Woori Bank. As only you, or only the people in your building are given one of these special use bank accounts, Chapter 3 Banking

86 the amount you put it will be matched to you and your bill will have been paid. Please see the black box in the image below for examples. By using this method, you can pay at an ATM, with a teller, internet banking, or via your phone. 7.2 Payment through lectronic Billing System If your bill has the words 지로번호 on it, just like to the left of the black boxes in the example below, you can stick these sections of your bill into a machine at a bank and pay with your debit card or bankbook. If you walk into a bank and show this paper to the security member, they can direct you to a special purpose ATM designed to pay these and other bills. Some convenience stores have these specialty machines as well. 7.3 Automatic Payment You can set an automatic payment to cover your utility bills if you want. Payment will be drawn from your bank account or credit card. You need to visit a bank or call a credit card company to setup automatic payments. Generally, people use this service to cover their utility fees, building management fee, or pay for their phone or internet. 8. Currency xchange With a passport, you can easily exchange currency or traveler s checks at banks or money exchange companies usually located in tourist areas. Banks have exchange desks in airport and offer the same rates as their other locations. You can exchange up to $10,000 at a time. If you exchange money at one bank, it will be difficult to exchange money at another bank Living In Korea 88

87 as that bank is somehow deemed your exchange bank and can be difficult to change. xchange rates are not fixed by the government and change daily based on economic factors. ach brand of bank will have a different rate and might have different currencies. You can take notes for what the rates are and compare them to other banks, but try not avoid taking a picture of the display board showing rates as banking staff get very upset when customers do that. Ⅱ 9. Phishing and Hacking Just like in your home country, be careful of your financial information, which includes logins and account numbers. If you receive an , phone call, or text message by someone asking for your financial information, do not tell them. Keep your antivirus and operating system software up-to-date. Limit the amount of information you share online and don t use security questions, like the name of your pet, that can be found by looking through your social media. Chapter 3 Banking

88 Chapter 4 Medical Services 1. Overview Various medical institutions in Korea, including private hospitals, clinics, general hospitals, oriental hospitals, and district-operated community/public health centers, are available. By working at IBS full time, you will have medical coverage as part of the national four insurance programs (4대보험). The government sets insurance coverage amounts for every kind of treatment. Hospitals can charge up to a certain amount beyond that. The different between the insurance coverage and what the hospital asks for, is what you will pay. Some procedures, such as getting teeth implants, will not be covered by insurance. Medical facilities are categorized into three types based on the number of medical departments and the size of medical facilities. While you can get procedures done at the hospital of your choosing, if you want to do a procedure at a large hospital without obtaining a referral letter, you cannot receive medical insurance coverage. It is significantly cheaper to go to a smaller hospital or clinic, get a referral letter, and then seek treatment at the large hospital for a more affordable price. Hospitals in Korea are trying to be more careful with medical information as that information can be very personal to a number of people. Many hospitals and clinics will have signboards displaying the names of patients and who is next in line. Some of these will be automatically censored to protect the privacy of people waiting. For example, the name 홍길동 might be displayed as 홍 * 동 as a courtesy to 길동. These systems were built for names only three characters long, so the name Richard Andrew Moore might be displayed as R*chard Andrew Moore. Or if they put the order of your name to match your Alien Residency Card, it will be displayed as M*ore Richard Andrew. 2. Hospitals 2.1 First-tier These types of facilities include private hospitals and public health centers. Firsttiermedical facilities offer a limited number of medical departments. They provide comprehensive but more general medical services aimed at the treatment and prevention of early symptoms of diseases. Their prices will be the lowest. 2.2 Second-tier Second-tier medical facilities offer specialists and more than four medical departments. They provide medical services for both inpatients and outpatients. In general, these types of facilities have between 30 and 500 beds. mergency treatment is available. 2.3 Third-tier General hospitals or hospitals affiliated with medical schools are categorized as third-tier medical facilities. These types of facilities offer specialists in a variety of different Living In Korea 90

89 medical departments. They have more than 500 hospital beds and offer specialized medical services for emergencies. 2.4 International Clinics As the number of international residents increases in Korea, larger hospitals have begun to open international clinics. The name in nglish and Korean will vary from hospital to hospital, but the general concept is you can see a doctor who speaks a high level of nglish or another language, or an interpreter will travel the hospital with you so you can meet with the specialist you need, even if they cannot speak your language. The language aspect in these international clinics exempts them from national pricing restrictions, so they can charge higher prices. Additionally, many hospitals expect these patients to come without national insurance. Depending on the health issue, your Korean ability, and your what you are comfortable with, you might want to go to a hospital with a friend who speaks Korean so your treatment prices are lower. And while many hospital administrative staff outside of large hospitals have limited nglish ability, many doctors have trained overseas and can use nglish to talk with you.

Hospital 조선대학교병원 Hospitals in Pohang with an international clinic Pohang St. Mary s Hospital 포항성모병원 Living In Korea Appointments To receive fast and convenient treatment, it is recommended that you make medical appointments in advance. You can make appointments by visiting a hospital, calling, and sometimes via a hospital website. If you cannot speak Korean and are not going to a hospital which clearly offers bilingual support, you must go in person or have someone make an appointment on your behalf. 4. Payment Medical expenses vary depending on whether or not you have insurance. Unless you clearly tell the staff that you have insurance, and show them the number on your Alien Registration Card, they will assume you do not have insurance and you will pay much more for treatment. The fee that national insurance covers is automatically deducted. If you have an additional

91 private insurance in Korea or overseas, you will need to contact them to see if you can get reimbursements. Contact them ahead of time, if at all possible, so you will not be surprised at their coverage or lack thereof. Most general hospitals can provide nglish receipts for medical treatments performed. 5. Pharmacies Many pharmacies can be located by their Korean signs displaying 약, or 약국. Korean pharmacies sell both prescription and overthe counter medications. Medicines available for purchase without prescriptions include digestive aids, nutrients, vitamins, and some cold medicines. Certain medications, including antibiotics, hormones, and strong painkillers, can only be purchased with a prescription acquired in Korea. When you are about to move to Korea, you might want to stock up on any prescription medications you need to allow yourself plenty of time to get a new prescription from a doctor. When meeting with your doctor or pharmacist, you should inform them if you have any allergies. When the pharmacist gives you your prescription, they will tell you if there are any special usage rules you need to follow. Go to a pharmacy near the hospital where you got a prescription, as they have a symbiotic relationship and will have the right medicine. If you go to a pharmacy not near the hospital, you may not be able to get the medicine you need. Ⅱ 6. mergency In any and all emergency situations, call 119, no area code is required. When you call, your location will automatically be identified. If you do not speak Korean, the emergency operator will connect an interpreter from the Korea National Tourism Organization (KNTO) so no language barrier exists. Chapter 4 Medical Services

92 Chapter 5 Telecommunication 1. Internet South Korea typically ranks within the top five countries in terms of internet speed tests.the national government provides the fiber backbones and rents access to various telecommunication companies who offer a number of plans and speeds. KT Olleh, SK Broadband, and LG U+ are the three major companies offer internet access. Dormitories typically provide internet for free but normally other housing options will require you pay for your own internet access. 1.1 Internet Plans The initial cost for installment is about 30,000 won and a technician will visit your home to connect you by setting up the modem and Wifi if you purchase a Wifi plan. Monthly service charges start around 25,500 and 30,000 won before VAT and will vary greatly depending on the service provider, the length of plan, and which plan you select. You will also be required to pay rental fees for the modem and access point. In general, contracts vary from one year to three years but you will be limited to the length of validity of your visa as stated on your Alien Registration Card. Discount rates depend on the length of your contract and if you connect TV and/or smartphones to the same account. If you cancel your service before your contract ends or need to shorten the length of your contract, you ll probably get hit with a cancellation fee. 1.2 Internet Cafés Internet cafés in Korea are frequently translated as internet rooms or PC rooms as those are direct translations of PC방. Internet cafés in Korea have traditionally been used to gain access to faster gaming PCs and are a fun place to play online games with friends as a number of titles are preinstalled and people often visit with friends. It is worth noting that games popular in Korea will be preinstalled, which may differ from game titles popular in your home country. They usually have a printer and Microsoft Office installed but it is best to confirm that with staff before you pay and sit down. If you don t yet have internet installed at your home or need access to a full PC instead of your smartphone, an Internet café can be a good option. They are much cleaner than years past and now offer a variety of junk food options which you can eat without leaving the comfort of your chair. Previously, customers would grab a card with an ID number from a tray near the entrance and use that ID number to login to a PC, which then starts a usage clock. That format is going away as many internet cafés require you to pay in advance at a central Living In Korea 94

93 touch screen terminal. If nglish support does not exist, grab the eye of an employee, look confused, and they will come over and help you. 2. Phones 2.1 Carriers SK T World, KT Olleh, and LG U+ are the major carriers for telephones in Korea. You ll notice these are the same companies as in the internet section, but other brands exist as well. While their websites are adding support for nglish, the information will be very limited compared to the Korean language version of their sites. It can also be difficult to find the nglish version of their page if you start at their Korean language site. You may need to do an internet search with the name of the company and nglish. The phone plans will also be different, so it is recommended to the options in Korean with someone who can translate for you. As you have citizenship outside of Korea, typically you ll be limited to prepaid plans or a contract no longer than your visa is valid. The validity of your visa will be on your Alien Registration Card and this is the identification necessary for most smartphone plans. If you do not have an Alien Registration Card, getting a prepaid plan will be a better option, but might be more expensive. If you brought your own smartphone to Korea, there is a good chance it will work but you will need to confirm it at the store as some phones will not be compatible with some carriers. Outside of iphones, almost all smartphones sold in Korea are from a Korean brand. It is rare to see phones from another country sold in Korea. Support for these phones, including confirming if the phone will work with a telecommunication company in Korea, can be difficult as most stores have no experience with non-korean phones outside of iphones.

But many people get a cable TV and internet plan from the same provider, frequently the same as their smartphone provider. Different plans will have different channels available so you should see what options you can choose from. Just like with phone and internet, you ll need an Alien Registration Card for signup and a domestic bank account to pay for service. Chapter 5 Telecommunication

97 Chapter 6 ducation 1. Korean ducation ducation is very important to parents from all nations. In Korea, optional programs like preschool and multiple private academies are the norm. This section will give you an overview of what is available so you have a better idea as to what the options are for your children. Ⅱ 1.1 Daycare and Kindergarten 어린이집 or daycare, is an optional program available for children aged 0-2. As babysitting options are very limited, daycare is common for parents who work. Children aged 3-5 have the option to attend kindergarten or 유치원 in preparation for elementary school. The kindergarten system can be separated into two types, private and national kindergartens. Private kindergartens have their own curriculums and programs. National kindergartens have a unified curriculum called the Nuri Curriculum. This curriculum focuses on six key areas: health, art, communication, social relationships, nature, and physical exercise with the aim to promote balanced growth of both mind and body. 1.2 lementary School 초등학교 or elementary school, is required for children from age six. Deferral s, even for learning disabilities or speech problems, are nearly non-existent. Subjects include Korean language, mathematics, social studies, art, and physical education. nglish as a foreign language is introduced in grade 3. Primary education is free and compulsory. Parents that fail to enroll their children in school may face prosecution. 1.3 Middle School 중학교 or middle school, lasts for three years. Unlike in Western programs, grades are not 7, 8, and 9, but the numbers refresh themselves and students say they are middle school 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade. This also applies for high school and university. Many of the same subjects as elementary school are taught. Students normally attend middle schools located near their homes. As public school teachers are required to change schools on a multiyear schedule, this prevents the creation of good and bad schools, which helps level the education throughout the country. Middle school education is compulsory. 1.4 High School 고등학교 or high school, lasts for three years. Some public high schools are designed for vocational purposes or have their own curriculum. ntrance examinations are required for science or technical high school admission. Unlike primary and middle school education, high school attendance is not compulsory. Tuition fees for specialty schools vary based on their Chapter 6 ducation

98 location and program. 2. International Schools International schools, frequently called foreign schools, are increasingly popular for those who can enter. As of December 2018, there are 52 international schools approved by the Korean government: 22 in, 7 in Gyeonggi Province, 5 in, 3 in Jeju Island, and the rest in other provinces or cities. nglish is primarily used but schools using other languages do exist as well. Some schools offer international baccalaureate (IB) and advanced placement (AP). If your child intends to study in urope, IB is more useful. If your child intends to study in America, AP is more useful. The number of students enrolled varies widely between schools, from 100 to as many as 1,500. Tuition ranges from $15,000 to $25,000 USD annually. Other expenses for school bus, textbooks, and extracurricular activities must also be considered. Admission criteria vary depending on the school, and laws and regulations related to international schools change frequently. Therefore, it is best to directly inquire with the school to obtain up-to-date information.

Academies Outside of public and private schools, academies are the norm to get ahead in classes or learn other skills. Also called cram schools and Romanized as hagwons ( 학원 ), classes range from language, math, fine art, music, Taekwondo, driving, and cooking, among many others. Students at cram schools range in age from elementary to adults. Chapter 7 Shopping

104 1. Department Stores Chapter 7 Shopping Department stores ( 백화점 ) in Korea offer a wide range of consumer goods, such as clothing, food, electrical appliances, cosmetics, jewelry, and housewares. Prices tend to be higher than competing retailers, but seasonal promotions and sales events help shoppers to get better prices. Perishable foods are deeply discounted in the last few hours of their workday. Some department stores voluntarily close one or two days a month. While there is one brand name on the outside, the inside consists of many individual stores and restaurants that have contracts with the outside s brand. Department stores include Lotte, Shinsegae, Hyundai, Galleria, and AK Plaza. 2. Hypermarkets Hypermarkets or 대형마트, which literally translates to large sized market, are common. Multiple floors, large parking areas, and products range from clothing to automotive, and include a full sized grocery store and food court. Hypermarkets can also include other individual stores as well, but unlike department stores, hypermarkets usually have one area per floor where customers pay for their purchases. -mart, -mart Traders (-mart s response to Costco), Lotte Mart, Vic Market, Kim s Club, Homeplus, and Costco fall under the category of hypermarkets. Of these, Costco and Vic Market are membership-only stores and include a wider selection of imported goods. Due to concerns that these large shopping centers will create unfair competition to smaller neighborhood grocery stores and traditional markets, the national government enacted a law in 2012 to close hypermarkets and department stores twice a month, usually on specific weekends. Most cities follow a schedule of second and fourth Sunday, but there are some exceptions. Due to confusion as to when these stores are closed, there is a widely used expat website which was created to answer the question, Is Homeplus Open? The easy to remember domain name is focused on the chain Homeplus, but also applies to other brands. Living In Korea 106

105 Ⅱ 3. Neighborhood Grocery Stores Chances are there are several neighborhood grocery stores within walking distance of where you live. 동네슈퍼 directly translates into neighborhood supermarkets but often known as 마트 or marts, these can be privately owned or part of a larger chain. Different stores offer different selections, but a number of these have fresh meat as well. Neighborhood grocery stores are also a great place to purchase not only trash bags, but the correct trash bags for disposing of trash in your district. They are normally pretty quiet, which means small to nonexistent lines. 4. Traditional Markets 전통시장 or traditional markets used to be a staple of society for most of Korea s history. Various efforts have been made in recent years to protect them as they are a part of the cultural heritage. Technically located outdoors, but frequently under large coverings to protect against the weather, these shopping areas have a large variety of food stores and even some places to eat within the market. Buying produce in Korea at large stores is usually expensive, but traditional markets are usually the cheapest place for produce and meat. Important to note as fruit and vegetables are expensive at other stores and yet are an important part of a healthy diet. Traditional markets can be difficult to find if you don t know where they are, as their entrances are usually low key. Parking is usually difficult unless you can find a public parking lot so it might be easier to take public transportation or a taxi. Different markets have Chapter 7 Shopping

106 different operating times. They open between 6 AM and 9 AM and close between 6 PM and 11 PM, but mostly open around 9 AM and close around 8 PM. These markets prefer cash and haggling is normal, even if prices are posted. 5. Convenience Stores 편의점 or convenience stores, offer a wide range of everyday items such snack foods, confectionery, toiletries, soft drinks, tobacco products, magazines, newspapers, and fruit but their selection depends on their size. While they are conveniently located all over cities, their convenience results in higher prices than more conventional grocery stores. Brands include CU, GS25, emart24, 7-leven, BuyTheWay, and Ministop. Living In Korea 108

107 Chapter 8 Administrative Services 1. Marriage Marriages can occur in Korea where both parties do not hold Korean citizenship, but more common are mixed marriages with a Korean local and the international spouse. In Korea, a marriage between a Korean citizen and someone with different citizenship is referred to as an international marriage but could also be used for cases of two international spouses. For the legal and valid establishment of an international marriage in the Republic of Korea, both parties must satisfy the requirements of marriage set forth by their respective countries of origin. They must report their marriage to the relevant authorities so it can be recorded in the family relations register, if such register exists in the home countries. Ⅱ 1.1 Nationality and Visa Changes For marriages between Koreans and an international spouse, the Korean spouse does not necessarily lose their citizenship. If they desire, acquisition of their international spouse s nationality will be determined in accordance with the law of the respective nation. An international spouse who marries a Korean spouse cannot immediately obtain Korean nationality. A spousal visa (F-6) can be issued if a visa change is desired. If desired, following residence in Korea for a specified period, and if certain qualifications have been met, a naturalization qualification can start. 1.2 Marriage Reporting International marriages need to be registered at a district office. The international spouse needs to present an original affidavit eligibility for marriage, and if necessary a translated copy. Contact the respective embassy to obtain this document. Both parties will fill out and sign a Marriage Report Form and provide two adult witnesses. Identification must be presented as well, so the international party must bring their passport and Alien Registration Card, if available. If the marriage is not reported within three months without justifiable reasons, a fine of 50,000 won will be imposed. When reporting a marriage to the international spouse s nation, they must contact the embassy or consulate to review and follow the procedure provided. Some nations require formal notification, others do not. For marriages that occur between two individuals who bear overseas nationalities, they should contact their respective embassies and/or consulates. Depending on where they expect to reside in the future might determine what paperwork is necessary, if any. 2. Birth Reporting When an international couple gives birth to a child within Korea, the parents must submit birth certificates to their respective embassies. A passport must be obtained after each child s birth. In addition, a visa application must be submitted to the Immigration Office within 30 days of the birth. To apply for the child s visa, the parents Alien Registration Cards, a birth Chapter 8 Administrative Services

108 certificate, two photos, and a fee must be submitted. Additional documents may vary required depending on visa requirements. Detailed information can be obtained by calling Immigration at Living In Korea Death Reporting Upon the death of an international resident living in Korea, the spouse, parent, person specified by Clause 1 of Article 89 of the Immigration Law, or the owner or manager of the building or land where the death occurred, must submit a death report to the immigration office under the jurisdiction of the residence. In addition, a medical or autopsy report and other documents that support the report of death must be submitted. These documents must be connected to the deceased s Alien Registration Card and/or passport. If the next of kin desires overseas transportation of the body, the respective embassy must be contacted. To cremate a body, original copies of the death report, autopsy report, and death certificate are required. 4. Taxes All individuals living and working in Korea, regardless of their citizenship, need to pay taxes. As tax rules and requirements change, deductions and paperwork requirements are different for Korean citizens and international residents, and multiple tax websites and information are not translated, it is difficult to contain the necessary information here in this guide. The National Tax Service thankfully has a lot of information on their nglish website Please do download and read their annual updated publication asy Guide for Foreigners Year-end Tax Settlement. Go to Resources, Publication, Foreigners Year-end Tax Settlement. The staff at your Center will also be able to assist you and IBS is able to sometimes bring in outside assistance to help you with filing of your taxes for the year-end tax settlement.
