About This Blog
Welcome to KoreaGgo — your go-to resource for navigating life in Korea as a foreigner.
This blog was created by a long-term expat who has spent years living, working, and navigating the Korean immigration system firsthand. After helping countless friends and colleagues figure out visas, work permits, and residency requirements — often while wading through confusing official documents and outdated online guides — it became clear that there was a real need for accurate, up-to-date, and genuinely helpful information in English.
What We Cover
KoreaGgo focuses specifically on visa and immigration topics for English-speaking foreigners living in or moving to Korea:
- Visa Types & Requirements — F-2-7, E-7, E-2, D-2, working holiday, and more
- Step-by-Step Application Guides — exactly what to do, where to go, and what to bring
- Salary & Income Requirements — updated annually with official figures
- Points Calculators & Checklists — practical tools you can use right now
- Policy Updates — the latest changes from the Ministry of Justice and Korea Immigration Service
Our Commitment
Every article on this blog is:
- Researched from official sources — Korea Immigration Service (immigration.go.kr), HiKorea (hikorea.go.kr), and Ministry of Justice announcements
- Updated regularly — visa rules change, and we update our guides when they do
- Written for real people — not lawyers, not bureaucrats. Just clear, practical advice
