Living in Seoul

Ultra-modern, hyper-connected city with a world-class subway system, incredible food scene, and housing costs roughly half of comparable US cities. Very safe with low crime, and daily essentials like dining out and healthcare cost significantly less than back home. The catch: Korean language skills matter for long-term integration, the work culture can be intense, and the unique jeonse deposit system means renting requires navigating unfamiliar territory.

Neon-lit streets buzzing until 4 AM, fried chicken delivered to a park bench at midnight, and a hyper-connected culture where ancient palaces share blocks with K-pop studios and the Wi-Fi never drops.

Visa

Digital Nomad Visa (F-1-D Workation) — requires 1+ year at a foreign employer, min ~$65,800/yr income, and private health insurance with ₩100M coverage. Valid 1 year, extendable to 2. D-8 Investment Visa is the alternative for entrepreneurs (min ₩100M investment, ~$73,000).

Key Fact

South Korea has world-class internet (fastest average speeds globally), excellent public transit, and universal healthcare — but the language barrier is real and Korean bureaucracy requires patience and often an in-person translator.

Next steps for moving to South Korea

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
