About.
An independent guide to living and working in Seoul — written to make the city feel manageable.
What we do
Settle Seoul gathers the practical steps newcomers face — visas, housing, money, healthcare, transport, study and work — into plain-English guides, printable checklists and a downloadable magazine.
How we write
Each guide links to official sources and shows when it was last reviewed. Rules change, so we always ask readers to confirm requirements with the responsible office before acting. Our guidance is not legal or immigration advice.
Advertising
Payment buys visibility, never conclusions. Any future advert will be clearly labelled and kept apart from advice and directory listings, which are never ranked by payment.
