As a foreigner, I am interested in opening a bank account in Korea. Could you please tell me if this is possible, and if so, what are the requirements and procedures I need to follow? I am aware that different countries have different banking regulations for foreigners, so I would appreciate it if you could provide me with specific information related to Korea. Thank you for your time and assistance. Can I open a bank account in Korea as a foreigner?

When it comes to opening a bank account, a resident foreigner has the flexibility to visit any bank of their choice, regardless of whether they currently reside in Korea or not.

A resident foreigner is defined as an individual who has resided in Korea for a duration exceeding six months. Conversely, a non-resident foreigner refers to someone who has been in Korea for less than six months.

This flexibility extends to both physical visits to the bank and online banking options, depending on the bank's policies and services offered.
