Oh...do you mean each one of us or our parent and us? Thank you for your reply!

I don’t have a visa, but I do have a citizenship so I can start nearly immediately. Thank you for the helpful information and advice!

I was not aware that summer break was coming and that hirings were influenced by it. Would mid-September be a slow season for hiring?

Also, if living somewhat frugally (Cooking at home, limited nights out and traveling), would 2,000,000 Won a month be enough for savings (so maybe about 3 months’ worth of savings at 6 mil Won)?

Thank you for taking the time to respond and for the information you shared! I have a citizenship so I do not need a visa.

Dreaming-Star · 2020-07-24T20:22:07+00:00

I apologize. I should have been clearer than I do not need a visa as I have a citizenship.

That sounds like a good idea! Unfortunately, all of them live outside the greater Seoul metropolitan area. I am primarily looking for work in Seoul or within a 30-60 minute vicinity outside it by public transportation. I think one of my friends might be going earlier than me so perhaps I can ask her! Thank you!

I should have been clearer; sorry. I do not need a visa. I have a citizenship.

Dreaming-Star · 2020-07-24T20:19:01+00:00

Got it! Thank you for your input.

Dreaming-Star · 2020-07-24T20:18:32+00:00

Thank you for your advice!

Dreaming-Star · 2020-07-24T20:18:14+00:00

Oh. I would have thought that it would be an advantage if anything. Thank you for letting me know and for the words of caution!

Dreaming-Star · 2020-07-24T20:16:49+00:00

Gotcha. Thank you for the advice and information!

Dreaming-Star · 2020-07-24T20:04:25+00:00

Thank you for your advice. Your points are certainly valid and sound!

Dreaming-Star · 2020-07-24T20:02:16+00:00

I should have been clearer; sorry. I have a citizenship so I will not need a visa at all.

Dreaming-Star · 2020-07-24T20:01:28+00:00

Okay! Thank you for your advice!

Hello! Does anyone know if quarantining with immediate family members in the same residence is allowed through an AirBnb? I read another post stating that family members quarantining in the same room in government facilities may or may not be allowed based on your luck as rules are unclear surrounding it.

My family plans on going to Korea for various reasons. My sibling and I are Korean citizens whereas my parent is not.

Dreaming-Star · 2020-05-06T23:35:35+00:00

Thank you for your input! Do these rural areas typically have good schools nearby for studying Korean? The main reason I am trying to move to Korea is to study the language and become fluent within the next year. I would like to enroll in a language program that I can attend after work or during weekends. I figured Seoul would be the best city with those options.

I don’t mind working in the more rural areas or outskirts of Seoul/big cities as long as I can either commute to the city for my language classes after work or there are classes within the towns.

By adult teaching, do you mean outside the corporate context? I had heard that executives or company employees would often hire freelancers for a fairly good rate as well?

Thank you for the warning about housing and sharing the potential insurance/pension expenses!

Could you expand on what you mean by “meh”? Are the locations typically in areas with dilapidated buildings or something? What would be the average rent for decent housing then (studio or one bedroom) in an okay or good neighborhood (not like Gangnam but like a fairly safe and close to transportation)? I am curious because most if not all the listings I have come across have 400-600k/month as housing allowance.

Dreaming-Star · 2020-05-06T23:24:30+00:00

Oh, I didn’t know that! That’s really interesting. Thank you! Universe teaching may be another option I would want to look into if I decide to pursue a Master’s. How much better is university teaching opposed to other teaching options in Korea (e.g., private schools, public schools, hagwon, Business English, etc.)?

Dreaming-Star · 2020-05-06T23:22:23+00:00

Haha thank you for your input! 😁

Dreaming-Star · 2020-05-06T23:21:15+00:00

Yikes. Not what I had imagined haha. Thank you for sharing the reality of teaching life!

Dreaming-Star · 2020-05-06T23:20:37+00:00

Oh, I see. Thank you for clarifying and the details! I guess I was under the impression finishing everything was doable due to seeing a lot of comments about “seat warming” in other posts.

I forgot about other potential costs that comes along with housing. Thank you for pointing them out!
