Korea Updated publishes practical guides to the money and paperwork side of visiting or living in Korea: tax refunds for tourists, entry rules, transport cards, pension refunds, year-end tax settlement and similar topics.
How we work
- Figures, dates and eligibility rules are checked against official sources: Korean government agencies, public institutions or the law itself, or, where a private company runs the service (for example a tax refund operator or a transport card issuer), that company’s official site. We link to the source in each article.
- Many Korean rules change on January 1. We review our guides at the start of each year and whenever we learn of a change, and each guide shows the date it was last checked.
- Articles are drafted with AI writing tools, then checked against the official sources before publishing.
- We do not invent personal experiences, reviews or credentials.
What we are not
We are not a government agency, law firm, tax advisor or immigration service, and nothing on this site is legal, tax, immigration or financial advice. For decisions about your own case, please confirm with the official agency named in each guide.
