FAQ Page
Have questions about moving to Busan, renting a home, or settling into daily life in Korea? Here are answers to the most common questions from foreign residents, expats, and families relocating to Busan and nearby areas. Every relocation situation is different, so please contact us directly if you need personal guidance.
Which areas do you cover?
We support relocations across Busan, Ulsan, Changwon and Jinhae (Chinhae). Whether you're an engineer posted to Ulsan, a family moving to Haeundae, or staff stationed near Jinhae, we help you find the right neighbourhood for your commute, schools and daily life.
Can I rent an apartment in Busan as a foreigner?
Yes — foreigners can legally rent in Korea. Landlords usually ask for ID and proof you can pay. Some steps, like opening a bank account or utilities, are easier once you have an Alien Registration Card (ARC). We guide you through what's possible before your ARC arrives and what to set up after.
How much money do I need upfront?
Plan for a deposit, first month's rent (wolse), an agency fee, and moving costs. The total depends on the property and whether you choose jeonse or wolse. Before you commit, we give you a clear, itemised estimate so there are no surprises.
Can you help with international school admissions?
Yes. We provide detailed information on the region's international schools, help you compare options, and arrange tours. We don't replace a school's own admissions process, but we clarify requirements and timelines — and align your housing search with your school choice so the two don't work against each other.
Can you start helping before I arrive in Korea?
Yes — most clients start months before they land. We run property checks, shortlist homes, and arrange remote video tours so your housing is ready before arrival. The goal is for you to step off the plane into a prepared home, not a hotel and a long to-do list.
What does your service include, and how do you charge?
Beyond housing, we handle the practical setup of daily life — paperwork (ARC, utilities), bank and phone, furniture and appliances, and long-term support whenever a problem arises. Tell us your situation and we'll send a clear quote with no obligation.
