Thank you so much, so many people say that they come to Korea on the working holiday visa but no one makes videos about it. A lot YouTubers tell you that you have to do your own research BUT when you try to do research, the articles and videos leave out a lot of information. 😭
I’m planning on getting the working holiday visa after college, and I hope to make videos about it that way people won’t feel as left in the dark as I do. 🙃

You have 3 months to get your foreigner id card 😊 it'll take a long time to get an appointment but if you check the website frequently (once a day) you can get an earlier slot because people cancel their appointments 👌

Danke für das video! Sehr hilfreich :) ich möchte nächstes Jahr das in korea machen, hast du gute Seiten wo man Jobs als Ausländer finden kann? Meinst du es ist möglich auch außerhalb der Großstädte welche zu finden?

Thank you so much for your video! I am leaving in September for a working holiday visa in Seoul and i am kind of freaking out. Your video is really clear and i am now a bit more relaxed. Also do you have any advise for finding a job? Should i already have one before going or is it okay to look for one on the spot? Thank you!

Hi there! This was super helpful. So you have any experience with language schools/courses you are allowed to enrol in on the H1 visa?
Thank you ❤

Is this different from the new digital nomad visa? It is so confusing because Ive heard both be called the workation visa

[amira]

Did I understand it right that everytime I am changing my living place, they have to update my alien registration card? Which takes one moth every time?? Or just the first time

I applied for this one today and was sad to be told that because I am 30 they will probably reject me :(

The staff also said things in korean to complain about me… probably thinking I don’t understand what they are saying but I speak Korean.
