Ive always wanted to travel to Korea with my friends, I will definitely tell them to watch this for help lol.

[@rachel_cha1]

That's the dream!

[@manishagurung8426]

Me too 🙋‍♀️🥺🥺

[@siramungraikhan170]

Dream to go to Korea 😁😁❤️

[@lena4543]

I was so excited for you the entire time I watched this, haha! It's my dream to move to South Korea once I'm older. Thank you for filming! I'm so happy for you!

[@rachel_cha1]

Aw, it was always my dream to move to Korea too! Once you're old enough you'll definitely get the chance :) Thanks for watching

Thanks for the support! Hope you get to visit Korea soon :)

[@lovesophia19]

Once this pandemic is over, I will be visiting Korea ASAP!!

[@vasudha278]

i will be moving back to japan as soon as this pandemic is over since ive been stranded in another country! watching vlogs of people moving to korea made me realise how much korea and japan share in common!

[@alexayanezvaldez5897]

I plan to move to Korea permanently in June-august in 2021, and tips or what are some things that might help me? also live that I just found this channel, its SUPER helpful.

[@rachel_cha1]

Wow if you're moving permanently, that's definitely a huge change! I'm not too sure what your level of Korean is or your citizenship situation, but I'd get all your ID, work/study visa, and bank account stuff sorted out as soon as you get here! There's going to be a processing time for those, so it's best to get them done as soon as possible!

It's ok your time will come soon! :)

[@elisakim8602]

how did you do online school while in korea??

[@rachel_cha1]

Depends on your timezone but you might have to change your schedule around and wake up early/stay up late for some classes :/ Definitely tough but it's worth being in Korea!

[@mahmudmyrre5127]

I luv your hair maybe you can do a day in my life in Korea plzxzz

[@gabanix]

Hi! I'm moving to Korea in Febuary, do you know if people were allowed to be picked up from the airport?

[@rachel_cha1]

The rules might change it depends, but I think I remember seeing people waiting for their families at the airport... I'd take the special COVID taxis though just to be safe

[@gabanix]

@@rachel_cha1 thank you!!! And yeah, i'll probably do that ☺️

[@ubanianezckamirriel3167]

Can a 12 year old go to korea by june 2021? me and my mom was planning to go there for my 13th birthday. Is that even possible tho? I'm worried that i might not go there because of covid :(

[@yolanda6834]

hi just wondering, does the fourteen day quarantine begin the day you land in Korea and go to your government facility, or does it start on the next, first full day?

[@rachel_cha1]

I believe it starts when you begin! But they'll usually let you out at noon or midnight, depending on around what time you land.

[@cheriat2439]

How were you able to stay at a non-government facility? Did you book one of these covid-19 taxis which brings you to your quarantine place? Since I will be in South Korea soon to study abroad and therefore am allowed to quarantine at an Airbnb instead of a facility of the government I am not too sure how the process will be

[@rachel_cha1]

Yes I booked a covid-19 taxi! As long as you're able to be contacted through phone, you may be able to stay at an Airbnb. However I'd recommend a government facility if you're starting fresh in Korea just because you may not be able to have basic utilities set up (contact info, bank, etc.)

[@TheNujabess]

hey, i am also planning to go to Korea, but did you go by F-4 visa? or how were you able to fly?

[@rachel_cha1]

I have a korean passport! It's pretty tough to get a visa from what I heard but you might want to look into it!

[@jesicalira]

I love your videos! kisses from Argentina ❤️

[@hellokrisan]

I was supposed to back to Seoul just right before the travel ban hit. So now I have to wait until next year, but your video is super informative esp for me! :)

[@rachel_cha1]

Hope you get to go next year! :)

[@hellokrisan]

@@rachel_cha1 Def have to go! I have to go to school :)

[@coracloud7051]

i’ve been wanting to move to korea but i’m purely hispanic and i don’t speak korean. i’m scared i won’t be able to get around and stuff or that it will be difficult to adjust. to people speak some english there?

[@jefflevenhagen]

I'm moving back to Korea soon. If I have my own apartment set up before I move to Korea then can I quarantine in my apartment or do I have to use an apartment specifically for covid-19 quarantine? I know my friend's were able to quarantine in their apartments because they lived alone but I didn't know if the rules changed.

[@rachel_cha1]

You should probably double-check with the regulations but if you're able to quarantine in your own empty space, they'll probably let you use your own apartment!

[@jefflevenhagen]

I had a friend tell me this morning that I have too quarantine in Seoul if I'm going to be living in Busan. That makes sense so I'm not traveling around Korea trying too get to Busan. He also told me that if I have an E2 visa or better then I can just quarantine in an Airbnb..... Does that sound correct to you?

[@rachel_cha1]

@@jefflevenhagen The Busan situation seems to make sense, but I don't know anything about visas :( Check with the Korea consulate in your country if you can!

[@timothykamei290]

I'm planning to visit Seoul as soon as this covid19/quarantining is over. I hear we have to bear our own quarantining cost .?

[@rachel_cha1]

Yeah I believe that if you're staying at a government facility for your quarantine, you'd have to pay a certain amount. It's similar to hotel costs possibly?

[@immiso6024]

I have question when you go to korea do you have to pay for hotel to stay quarantine (I wish you understand what I'm talking about 😂😅) can you tell me how much to pay ^^?

[@rachel_cha1]

Yes you do, I think it's around $90 a day? I would double check though, that's just what I heard.

[@allygarska]

Greetings! Long story short, my occupation allows me to work just about anywhere & I've always wanted to experience Korea while I'm young & able. I just don't know how to go about it and began getting realistic about my move as of early May. I've narrowed it down to Seoul & Busan, but I'm open to other cities. I'm a young professional in my 20s & I'm just trying to gather as much information so I can take the appropriate steps to make this move possible by the end of the year God willing. Also, what's the current state in the country? As far as C-19 goes. Any feedback would be highly appreciated! Tysm for reading up to here! Hope to hear from somebody out there.

[@graceh4830]

So I’m a dual citizen .... and I’m going to Korea next month. But I don’t have any relatives I can stay with. How did you get to bypass going to a one room instead of the government facility? What papers do I need?? Thanks for uploading! Been watching a lot of quarantine videos. Haha

[@rachel_cha1]

If you have a one room all set up for you then you'll be able to be taken there from the airport by a special taxi! Every country has different rules so I suggest you ask the Korea consulate in your country

[@graceh4830]

@@rachel_cha1 thanks for replying!! How much did you pay for the taxi to get to your place? If you don’t mind. :) do you have any tips on how to move big money like $5-$10k at a time Korea to America? Or can you make a video on that?!?! Hehe

[@rachel_cha1]

@@graceh4830 I think I paid around $50-75 dollars for the taxi! That was also because it was a special COVID-19 taxi. With moving big money, there's global e-transfers, but you might lose some money with conversion costs

[@graceh4830]

@@rachel_cha1 thank you so much Rachel!!

[@Grace-ip3hg]

Are you allowed to quarantine with family? Love ur vids btw!

[@rachel_cha1]

I'd definitely look into it more instead of just listening to my words, but I think you can maybe quarantine in one room while your family avoids that room. I think that's what one of my friends did, but I'd recommend quarantining somewhere else just to be safe (unless you're travelling with family then that's a different story).
