require info on how to hire/transfer current nanny to Korea
« on: January 05, 2012, 09:48:17 PM »

hi there

not quite sure where to post this question but here goes!


We are family currently based in HK with a filipina helper. We are hoping to relocate to Seoul in March and hope to bring my helper/nanny along. As we are foreigners to Korea, we have been told that this is possible.

Can someone please shed a light for me what are the procedures? Is there a website or forum which can tell me roughly what to do and then i can proceed from there.

thank you so much! much appreciate it!

Hi!

I am from Singapore and I had just obtained my Indonesian maid VISA in Korea. She'll be joining me in March 2012.

I used a service provider for the processing of her VISA. If you need assistance, feel free to contact me.
