How do i send a letter in korea?


sample 250won stamp there are alot of design even same price

hello liz here is the answer

you can buy a stamp at the stationery shop :o 90% of the time you can find a stamp there. only 10% do not sell it

we call the stamp 우표(woo pyo) each stamp is a different price. you should buy a bunch of 250won stamps :)

because they are more useful. if you are just sending normal paper mail (3~4 pages), it cost 250won

you can also mail the letter around ur house. first u have to find a mailbox around ur house. it's a red iron box

and it has a sign that says mail box(우체통(woo che tong). if it's hard to find, you should ask ur neighbors.

oh it's a different charge to send mail to every region in Korea. but if you're just sending normal mail, u will just pay 250won(3~4page) remember

if you send international mail, you have to pay an extra charge. every country is a different charge :) right?

so before you put the ur letter inside the red iron box(우체통), you should ask the charge first and then attach stamps equal to that price.

i think this is the best the way to send mail. you should visit the post office once and check the international charge.

after that, you can send the international mail by using the red iron box around ur house :p

Bank Account opening in Korea

Bank Account opening in Korea

Do you want to use your own account with Korea Bank?
It's not difficult to get it.
Actually, the visit is the most quick and easy way for it but before go to the bank you will prepare some identifications.
First of all, you need to have your passport or foreigner registration or Drive licence issued by korea(the one thing you need) and then visit any korea bank.


When I called some korea bank, their standard about to open new account was little different. so, I want to explain some tips of making account.

• First case with Shinhan bank

You have to your own contact number in korea (ex sell phone) and the exact purpose to opening account(but I guess it doesn't mean hard)
If you are underage or person in bad credit, you can't.


Woori bank similar to Shinhan bank and also you get a check card that use money limiting an amount of money of your account.
