Thank you so much, so many people say that they come to Korea on the working holiday visa but no one makes videos about it. A lot KZbinrs tell you that you have to do your own research BUT when you try to do research, the articles and videos leave out a lot of information. 😭 I’m planning on getting the working holiday visa after college, and I hope to make videos about it that way people won’t feel as left in the dark as I do. 🙃

[@marisseoul3216]

Thank you for saying that! Yes its quiet hard to collect all the informations. Thats a grat idea and I hope you have a really good time in South Korea :)

You have 3 months to get your foreigner id card 😊 it'll take a long time to get an appointment but if you check the website frequently (once a day) you can get an earlier slot because people cancel their appointments 👌

[@marisseoul3216]

Thats true I often was lucky too :)

Danke für das video! Sehr hilfreich :) ich möchte nächstes Jahr das in korea machen, hast du gute Seiten wo man Jobs als Ausländer finden kann? Meinst du es ist möglich auch außerhalb der Großstädte welche zu finden?

[@paolomagnoni6487]

hi i want to do the same, but do you know korean ? because i was thinknig about going there without knowing the language, is that possible?

[@lilachmor1998]

thank you! reslly helped would like to also know what were your other struggles after some time!

[@stellasstories0394]

Thank you so much for your video! I am leaving in September for a working holiday visa in Seoul and i am kind of freaking out. Your video is really clear and i am now a bit more relaxed. Also do you have any advise for finding a job? Should i already have one before going or is it okay to look for one on the spot? Thank you!

[@marisseoul3216]

Thank you so much! ^^ For finding a job you can either use Alba (korean site), Craiglist (be careful) or you go to the korean job centers :) I wish you a good time!

[@kas6538]

I know this is a little late, but I also want to be in Korea in September, can I ask how early you applied for the visa and how long it took to get approved?!

[@Jval92]

Hi there! This was super helpful. So you have any experience with language schools/courses you are allowed to enrol in on the H1 visa? Thank you ❤

[@marisseoul3216]

Hii 😊 I've attended the language course program at Konkuk University at 건대입구역. I thought the program was too fast but many loved the level 1 there, I was at level 3 :)

Hello, on what delivery application would I can do food delivery?? with bike? Thx you.

[@violetm4]

Is this different from the new digital nomad visa? It is so confusing because Ive heard both be called the workation visa

[@marisseoul3216]

I heard they are combining it into one. I think it's the same :)

[@amira9661]

Did I understand it right that everytime I am changing my living place, they have to update my alien registration card? Which takes one moth every time?? Or just the first time

[@marisseoul3216]

Hei yeah you need to tell them everytime otherwise you get a penalty :/ It depends sometimes 1 moths sometimes 2 weeks :)

[@ClassicWinds]

I applied for this one today and was sad to be told that because I am 30 they will probably reject me :( The staff also said things in korean to complain about me… probably thinking I don’t understand what they are saying but I speak Korean.

[@marisseoul3216]

Thats sad :/ Maybe the workcation Visa will help you. Or maybe a student Visa?

[@aquagamer1212]

30 is the cut off age so you shouldn't be rejected.
