KOREA LIFE & WORK

How to Open a Bank Account in Korea as a Foreign Worker 🏦

Documents, the “limit account,” and tips for EPS workers

✅ Updated October 2026

Your salary, your remittance app, and your phone payments all need a Korean bank account. For new EPS workers, learning how to open a bank account in Korea is one of the first things to do after arriving. In this guide, Teacher Nova explains what to bring, what a “limit account” is, and how to use your account without problems.

🇵🇭 Kailangan mo ng bank account sa Korea para sa sahod at pagpapadala ng pera. Narito kung paano.

⚡ Quick summary
✔ Bring your ARC, passport, and employment proof
✔ A phone number in your own name makes everything easier
✔ New accounts often start as a limit account (about 1,000,000 KRW/day online)
✔ Never lend or sell your bank account to anyone

1. What to bring to the bank

Each bank has slightly different rules, but most banks ask for these:

Document	Why
ARC (외국인등록증)	Your main ID in Korea
Passport	Extra identity and visa check
Employment contract or certificate	Shows the account is for your salary
Korean phone number (your name)	Needed for mobile banking and app verification
Address proof (if asked)	Dormitory or housing confirmation

💡 Don’t have your ARC yet?

Some banks can open an account with your passport before your ARC arrives, but it usually has more limits. Rules differ by bank and nationality, so ask your company or the bank first.

Siguraduhing pareho ang pangalan sa passport, ARC, at phone number — kahit ang spacing at pagkakasunod-sunod.

2. What is a “limit account” (한도제한계좌)?

To stop phone scams, Korean banks often open new accounts as a limit account until the purpose of the account is confirmed. You can still receive your salary — but how much you can send or withdraw per day is limited.

Channel	Daily limit
Mobile / internet transfer	1,000,000 KRW
ATM	1,000,000 KRW
Bank counter	3,000,000 KRW

How to remove the limit: bring proof that the account is your salary account — for example an employment certificate (재직증명서), a pay slip (급여명세서), or a withholding tax receipt. Some banks also remove the limit after your salary has been paid into the account for a few months. The bank makes the final decision.

Kung limited ang account mo, magdala ng employment certificate o pay slip sa bangko para matanggal ang limit.

3. Step-by-step

STEP 1 · Get a phone number in your name 📱

Mobile banking and remittance apps send verification codes to your phone. A number registered in your own name avoids many problems later.

STEP 2 · Visit a branch near your workplace 🏦

Branches near industrial areas see many foreign workers. Go with a coworker, your company staff, or a Foreign Workers Support Center volunteer if you need help with Korean. Some areas have branches open on weekends for foreign customers — check before you go.

STEP 3 · Set up the app and give the account to your company 💳

Ask the bank to help you install the mobile app (many banks have an English or global version). Then give your account number to your company for your salary — and link it to your remittance app.

🚨 Never lend, rent, or sell your bank account

Criminals sometimes offer money to “borrow” foreign workers’ bank cards or accounts. Accounts used for scams are frozen, and the owner can be punished by law — even if you did not know what it was used for. Also, do not give your card PIN or app password to anyone, including friends.

Huwag ipahiram o ibenta ang bank account mo — pwede kang makulong at ma-freeze ang account mo.

🌏 For workers from every EPS country

These steps are the same for workers from the Philippines, Nepal, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and more. Some banks have extra checks for certain nationalities, so prepare all your documents.

※ General information, updated October 2026. Bank rules and limits can change and differ by bank. Ask your bank for the exact requirements.

[Work & Life] Leaving Korea? 3 Payments EPS Workers Should Claim (2026)

knova1 — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 02:41:48 +0000

KOREA LIFE & WORK

Leaving Korea? 3 Payments You Should Claim ✈️

Departure Guarantee Insurance · Pension Refund · Return Cost Insurance

✅ Updated October 2026

When your EPS contract ends, you may receive three separate payments: the departure guarantee insurance (your severance), the national pension lump-sum refund, and the return cost insurance. Many workers go home without claiming everything — and the money becomes “dormant.” In this guide, Teacher Nova explains what each payment is and how to claim it.

🇵🇭 Bago umuwi, siguraduhing makuha mo ang lahat ng pera mo — hindi ito awtomatiko lahat!

⚡ Quick summary
1️⃣ Departure guarantee insurance — your severance pay, paid by your employer’s insurance
2️⃣ National pension refund — the pension you paid from your salary
3️⃣ Return cost insurance — the insurance you paid for your trip home
⏰ Unclaimed money moves to a dormant account after 3 years — claim early!

1. Departure Guarantee Insurance (출국만기보험)

For E-9 workers, the departure guarantee insurance takes the place of normal severance pay. Your employer pays the premium every month — about 8.3% of your regular monthly wage — to Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance.

Who can receive it: workers who worked 1 year or more at the same company
When: after your employment ends and you leave Korea — you can apply before departure and receive it at the airport counter or by bank transfer
Important: it is not automatic. You must apply yourself.

💡 Did you work a lot of overtime?

The insurance is saved from your regular wage, but legal severance pay uses your average wage, which includes overtime. If the insurance amount is less than your legal severance pay, your employer must pay the difference.

Kung marami kang overtime, maaaring mas malaki ang dapat mong severance. Ang kulang ay dapat bayaran ng employer.

2. National Pension Lump-Sum Refund (국민연금 반환일시금)

Every month, 4.75% of your salary goes to the National Pension (2026 rate). E-9 workers can get a lump-sum refund when they leave Korea.

What you get back: the amount you paid + interest (your employer’s share is not refunded)
Where to apply: a National Pension Service (NPS) branch before you leave, the NPS desk at Incheon Airport, or by mail after you return home
Note: a small Korean tax is deducted from the refund

Ang ibinayad mo sa National Pension ay pwedeng ma-refund paglabas mo ng Korea — pero ang share mo lang.

3. Return Cost Insurance (귀국비용보험)

This is insurance you pay (from your salary) early in your contract to cover your trip home. You can claim it when you leave Korea — there is no minimum work period.

Country	Amount
Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, China	400,000 KRW
Sri Lanka	600,000 KRW
Most other EPS countries	500,000 KRW

※ The claim process changed in December 2024. Check the current procedure and your country’s amount before you leave (call 1350).

4. Your checklist before leaving Korea ✅

☐ Apply for departure guarantee insurance (at least a week before your flight is safest)
☐ Ask your employer about any severance difference (if you worked a lot of overtime)
☐ Apply for your national pension refund
☐ Check your return cost insurance claim
☐ Keep your passport, ARC, bank account, and work records ready
☐ Keep a Korean bank account open until all payments arrive — or register an overseas account

I-check ang lahat bago umuwi. Kung may tanong, tumawag sa 1350 (may tulong sa iba’t ibang wika).

🌏 Already went home without claiming?

You can still claim from your home country. After 3 years, unclaimed insurance moves to HRD Korea as dormant insurance — it can take longer, but you can still ask the EPS Center in your country for help. This applies to workers from every EPS country.

※ This guide is general information (updated October 2026). Rules and procedures can change. Before you leave, confirm with the Ministry of Employment and Labor (1350), the National Pension Service, or the insurance company.

Hi Nova Learners! We’re excited to announce that the entire EPS-TOPIK Standard Textbook Book 1 curriculum is now live on the blog — every chapter, every lesson, all built with Nova Player audio.

🇵🇭 Kumusta, Nova Learners! Ikinagagalak naming ipahayag na kumpleto na ang buong EPS-TOPIK Standard Textbook Book 1 curriculum sa blog — bawat kabanata, bawat aralin, kasama ang Nova Player audio.

📖 Note: This covers Book 1’s core 4 sections. The “Culture & Info” chapters are more advanced and will be polished for release later.

✅ What’s Now Complete

✅ Hangul — 7-day alphabet mastery course
✅ Vocabulary — 30 chapters, 60 lessons
✅ Grammar — 30 chapters, 60 lessons
✅ Conversation — 30 chapters, 60 lessons

🎯 How Should You Study? (Recommended Order)

Don’t finish all 60 Vocabulary lessons first, then all 60 Grammar, then all 60 Conversation! Instead, study one chapter at a time, across all three sections — this way, you learn the same real-life topic from three angles before moving on, and it sticks much better.

🇵🇭 Huwag munang tapusin lahat ng 60 Vocabulary bago pumunta sa Grammar at Conversation! Sa halip, pag-aralan ang isang chapter sa lahat ng tatlong section bago lumipat sa susunod — sa ganitong paraan, matututuhan mo ang parehong paksa mula sa tatlong anggulo, at mas madaling matatandaan.

Korean Verb Patterns: 46 Ways to Use One Verb

knova1 — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 11:24:09 +0000

EPS-TOPIK · NOVA PLUS

🔑 One Verb, 46 Ways to Say It — Korean Verb Patterns

🎯 What You Will Be Able to Say

After this lesson, you can say all of these in Korean — with one verb. 46 patterns, 8 groups.

⏱️ Tense — I do · I did · I will do · I am doing	13
❗ Obligation — I have to do · I don’t have to do	6
👍 Advice — I should do · I should not do	4
💪 Ability — I can do · I know how to do	6
🔓 Permission — May I do?	2
🤔 Guessing — I might do · It seems to	5
❤️ Intention — I want to do · I plan to do	5
🙏 Request — Please do · Let’s do · Shall we?	5

🇵🇭 Pagkatapos ng lesson na ito, kaya mo nang sabihin ang lahat ng ito sa Korean — gamit ang isang verb lang. 46 patterns, 8 grupo.

📌 Why This Lesson Matters

You already know the verb 하다 (to do). But can you say “I will do”, “I have to do”, or “I might do” in Korean? In English, you add a word in front — will do, can do, should do. In Korean, you only change the ending. The front of the verb never moves.

🇵🇭 Alam mo na ang 하다 (to do). Pero kaya mo bang sabihin ang “I will do”, “I have to do”, o “I might do”? Sa English, may dinadagdag sa unahan. Sa Korean, ang dulo lang ang nagbabago.

📖 Before You Start

This lesson will be much easier if you have already studied these three. If any of them is new to you, open it first — then come back here. You will understand everything twice as fast.

🇵🇭 Mas magiging madali ang lesson na ito kung napag-aralan mo na ang tatlong ito. Kung bago sa iyo ang alinman, buksan mo muna — tapos balik ka dito.

🔑 The Golden Rule — Only 3 Shapes

All 46 patterns come from just three shapes of 하다.
The yellow part is the shape. Everything after it is the ending.

하 — the stem, from the dictionary form 하다 · Part 1

하고 있어요 ·
하려고 해요 ·
하고 싶어요 ·
하지 마세요

해 — from 해요, just drop 요 · Part 2

해야 해요 ·
해도 돼요 ·
해 주세요 ·
했어요

할 — stem + ㄹ, the same shape as the future form · Part 4

할 거예요 ·
할 수 있어요 ·
할지도 몰라요 ·
할까요?

🇵🇭 Tatlong anyo lang: 하 · 해 · 할. Ang dilaw ay ang anyo, ang kasunod ay ang ending.

50 Essential Korean Verbs: Dictionary Form (Part 1)

knova1 — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 07:23:52 +0000

EPS-TOPIK · NOVA PLUS

🎯 50 Must-Know Verbs — The Foundation of Every Korean Sentence

📌 What Is “Dictionary Form”?

Every Korean verb and adjective has a dictionary form — the form you’d find if you looked the word up in a dictionary. It always ends in -다 (da). You won’t actually say this form out loud in conversation (for that, you need to conjugate it — like 가다 → 가요), but it’s the essential starting point: dictionaries, textbooks, and every grammar rule use this form as the base. Once you know a verb’s dictionary form, you can build any conjugation from it.

🇵🇭 Ang bawat Korean verb at adjective ay may dictionary form — ang anyo na makikita mo kapag hinanap mo ang salita sa diksyunaryo. Palaging nagtatapos ito sa -다 (da). Hindi mo ito aktwal na sasabihin sa pag-uusap (kailangan mo munang i-conjugate ito — tulad ng 가다 → 가요), pero ito ang mahalagang panimulang punto: ginagamit ito bilang batayan sa mga diksyunaryo, textbook, at lahat ng grammar rule. Kapag alam mo na ang dictionary form ng isang verb, magagawa mo na ang kahit anong conjugation mula dito.
