Frequently Asked Questions

Can I receive settlement guidance before entering Korea?

Yes. If you provide your expected entry date, immigration status and planned area of residence, we can separate pre-arrival preparations from post-arrival procedures.

Do you sign housing or mobile service contracts on my behalf?

Contracts requiring confirmation of the contracting party must generally be completed by the individual. We provide document checklists, key points and information on relevant service providers.

Can you assist with foreign resident registration and address changes?

After checking your immigration status and reporting deadlines, we can support applications and notifications within the permitted scope of an administrative agent’s work.

What if my matter also involves tax, labor or legal issues?

We classify the inquiry by field and connect it with a professional qualified to handle each part of the matter.
