What do I need to know before moving to Korea?

"Expats should be aware that Korea is a very culturally and socially conservative country, and it is important to respect local customs and traditions. It is also important to learn some basic Korean language skills, as English is not widely spoken outside of major cities. Expats should also be aware that the cost of living in Korea is relatively high, and it is important to budget accordingly. Additionally, expats should research the visa requirements for their particular situation, as the process can be complicated. Finally, expats should be aware that the healthcare system in Korea is generally of a high standard, but it is important to have adequate health insurance coverage," commented one expat who made the move to Korea.

"If you are a family, stay in a hotel until you discover the neighborhood you desire. How I would find that neighborhood is to seek out your child's school counselor or principal and ask what neighborhoods do most expat students live in. Then hire an expat service to find housing in those areas at your price range. ARM, Asian Relocation Mangement Korea, is a very good expat service company (phone in Korea: 011-9547-8383)," remarked another expat in Seoul, Korea.
