The Worst Public Services Station Ever
The Korean lady who services people there is cold and sometimes even rude to South Africans

I'm currently in South Korea and I'd like to register with the embassy, what is required of me to be able to do this?

Many thanks.

Apostilled documents
My name is Baphiwe and I am from Durban South Africa. I have been teaching English as a second

language in Shanghai and would like to move to South Korea before the end of July 2016.




Is it possible for me to do the entire work visa and residence permit application process while I am in South

Korea or do I need to be in my country of residence?


I am aware that my Criminal background check as well as my Degree need to be apostilled. Is it possible for South

Africans to get this done while in South Korea?

Thank you for your help.

SA Embassy Korea Website
Can you please let me know where I look to see any warning posted on the website. Every email I have sent to the embassy gets returned saying the recipient email in box is full and I cant seem to negotiate further than the home page? Can anybody help me?

Registration and Tax Enquiry
Hi there,

I have recently come to Korea to work, and wanted to find out how I register at your Embassy. I also wanted to enquire about paying tax here, as I was made aware of the fact that foreigners from South Africa coming to teach here, do not pay tax for the first two years, but now I am being told, by the academy I work for that I will have to pay tax, and perhaps, maybe before my contract is up claim it back. I would appreciate your advice on the matter.

I thank you kindly for your time and would appreciate you getting back to me as soon as pccible.

Kind Regards
KT De Jager
