I opened a fancy cafe + gym + coworking space setup in a walking distance from Gangnam station.

Tell us more!

I am coming to Korea for 3 weeks, please drop short term colivings recs for me :) I know hoppin.life in Seoul, but maybe there are more interesting local ones? ✨✨✨

Hi! I'm going to be in South Korea from July 13 - October 9. I want to be around other expats/digital nomads for events. Would Busan offer a little of this or should I stick to Seoul?

I foresee myself here very soon. I am coming to Seoul for about two months starting this Sunday. Would love to cowork now and then with anyone who's interested!

dntptsqtdv I will arrive on Tuesday and stay until the 23th of April. I will try to get my Digital Nomad Visa to stay 1 year. I will stay in Seong-su wxbmsorcyjgnylz

Be careful about the requirements for the ‘digital nomad’ visa. I couldn’t get it because I’m a freelancer.
And I think you can only apply at the embassy of your home country.

Sweet I was just thinking I wanted to organize a meetup. Maybe we can do a co-working meetup at Tae Oh's place? Interest?

Thank you. I own a company and also have a freelancing contract. In theory you should be able to apply from Korea , my embassy doesn’t even reply to emails. But I’m aware it could be denied.. also because I’m apply with my common in law partner, but Korea doesn’t officially recognise it as Family.
“Worst case scenario” I move to Mexico.

Nice, I’m in gangnam! Next to Tae Oh’s place actually lol. I arrived yesterday.

I will ping you in a couple of days then. I will stay in gangnam 4 days and then move to Seoung-su for 1 month.

I wish you all the best 🤞🏻
My girlfriend has a student visa and speaks Korean very well.
After one year on a Working Holiday visa and being ineligible for the Digital Nomad visa as a freelancer, I’ll try to stay with a 90-day tourist visa until the end of the year by taking short trips to Japan and other nearby countries.

By the way, I live in Gangneung, if you want to see Korean beaches, let me know! It would be a pleasure to meet you 🙂

Sorry for missing the message. Would love to meet you there.

Has anyone received SWIFT transfers from Korea? If the sender transfers in KRW, how does the money get converted to my local currency?

Hi everyone! I'm planning to go to Busan in May (whole month), but I'm unsure whether to stay in Haeundae or Gwangalli. Has anyone been and can recommend one over the other?

I like it lively, preferably with affordable food options nearby, and would love to meet some people too to explore with since I'll be traveling alone (so probably good if the area has some internationals/travellers as well, since I don't speak Korean 🤔)

I'd love to stay near the beach, but no must if neither is area is a good choice in your opinions.
Gwangalli might be better because closer to the city centre? But Haeundae more International/lively?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions/insights! :)

Need some help with coworking spaces on Jeju Island.

Going for a month starting end of July.

Can’t get hold of any listed on Nomads.com.

Has anyone been to a coworking space there in recent months?

Any help appreciated.

Soft opening on Monday

Nice to meet you. I see you’re looking for coworking spaces in Jeju Island. I’d love to help—please send me more detailed information via private message, and we can search together.

Places to hang out in korea? I'm near Seul

I got it by applying directly at the immigration office in Seoul.
But it took about 4 months of preparing documents needed (did it all remotely while in SEA)

I’m currently trying to submit this application in South Korea as well. I also need to be patient while gathering all the required documents, especially the criminal record extract, as I need to get the original with an apostille from France…

In France, they immediately identified that I'm a freelancer, and my visa was denied.

In South Korea, they don’t differentiate between my company and the fact that I’m a freelancer. However, they are very strict about the apostilled document, so yes, it takes time to collect the original documents from your home country when you’re abroad.
Thanks for your message.

in Korea however, they did make sure my bank statements show income from a specific company.

I provided a proof of funds from my bank and my tax certificate to prove my income, and they told me it was fine.

That was yesterday, during the first appointment—nothing is 100% certain yet. I still need to submit the criminal record extract with the apostille.

yeah I waited 4 months for my criminal clearance certificate with apostille. Hopefully France is faster. 🙏

yes, thanks.
I'll send update when I'll get it, for the community, if someone try this visa later 🙂

Have you guys seen this Kurzgesagt video about the imminent collapse of South Korea?

If anyone wants to meet up for some traditional korean food options and tea in Seoul any day around 6pm, dm! 🙂

Hey!
anyone in Seoul wants to meet up this weekend?

Anyone here have experience buying extra luggage at AirAsiania?
I bought tickets for the 29th April (Narita -> Incheon) and (Incheon -> London).
I have 1 Check in Bag, but I need one more for my Skis, but when I try to purchase it it refuses to let me. 🤷
