MOVING TO SOUTH KOREA

People are flocking to South Korea from all over the world – and for various reasons. Even more Europeans are finding success in South Korea, whatever their reason may be for settling there. Ultimately, the fundamental preparations for moving to South Korea remain the same. Those who have decided to move to South Korea have reason to rejoice: European citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days in South Korea. European business travelers attending conferences, meetings, or contract negotiations in South Korea are also visa-free for up to 90 days. However, this exemption does not apply to paid employment. Therefore, those wishing to work in South Korea require a standard work visa for entry. To obtain this visa, an employment contract must already be in place. The prospective employer then applies for a Certificate of Visa Issuance from the Korean Immigration Office. The cost for visa issuance ranges from 30 to 60 euros.

EXTENSIVE EXPERTISE AND COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE OFFERINGS

For those considering working in South Korea, it’s important to first assess the qualifications required. These qualifications are specified in the Korean Immigration Control Act.

For foreigners seeking employment, there are numerous resources available, including the job agency, a resource center specifically for women, and the migration center. Job agencies that match job seekers with companies exist nationwide in Korea. Additionally, there are Job Information Centers offering free services in every city, where job seekers can learn about job opportunities in their area. However, job hunting is only the first part of the tasks that need to be accomplished before embarking on the adventure of South Korea: because moving household items to South Korea is generally very complex.
