Expats in South Korea: common questions

Is it free?

Yes. Members pay nothing. Some firms in the directory have a commercial relationship with MyNomadWorld.

Who sees my details?

Other members see your first name, where you are from, your city, your plans and what you do. Your email is never shown to anyone.

I have not moved yet. Can I join?

That is half the group. Pick "moving in the next 3 months" or "still deciding" when you sign up.

General information, not tax or legal advice. Figures come from the public sources named on each page. Rules change and depend on your situation, so talk to a lawyer or tax adviser in that country before you move.
