Gentlemen, I plan on travelling to Seoul for a conference next month. Can anyone advise on where best to obtain the Korean Won and what rates to expect?

I would appreciate any other tips for a first-time traveller to South Korea.

Cheers.

Sorry for not responding, am flying out this morning. Been very busy making preps. Your Waka is plenty ooooo. You have to go to ministry of education Abuja to confirm the authenticity of your docs. Then to the ministry of foreign affairs Abuja to get your docs stamped and signed. Proceed to Korean embassy to get the documents notarized. $4 per document. Then forward the notarized docs by the Korean embassy to the school. Not the original certificates. Thats all.

Congrats, Bro. Thanks for your reply.

I have a school that said notarization from high court is enough, but peradventure I still have to go, how much does it cost at Ministry of Education for d authentication (not embassy)

How did u pay your application fee from here?

At ministry of education it's N300 per document. You have to buy waec card as well, think it's N800. I did a dom account transfer for the payment of the application fee.

I don't think its bad though. In a way, it makes it easier for foreigners to invest in their country. At a minimum wage of about $7 per hour, ull c what I mean when you scale it up to one month

Hello Gurus in the house, please I intend migrating to SK for studies or hustling but I want to ask a few questions.
I am a HND holder in computer science (Lower Credit) what are my chances via school and which cheap schools can you recommend
I intend to school and work as I am solely responsible for myself, hope I can get jobs that will foot my bills
My plan is to travel by December or January although it depends on when I get admission sha.
What will it cost me totally to migrate through school or for hustling?
I don't have a passport yet so no travel history

Expecting your honest response.

I'm also applying against next year. You don't need the IELTS exam.

March resumption is closed already for some schools, while others haven't started yet.

Okay, follow me here. You are paid about 8,000won for a 1hour job, that's how its done, that's the won equivalent of 7dollars.

Same way some schools will tell you their application fee is 121,000 won, then they'll put in bracket $100.

Hope you get it now.

Please, I still don't know how to go about writing my Statement of purpose and study plan. I'll need help @house

And for the Dom account, do I buy dollar from aboki, then put it in the account, then pay as if I'm making an online transaction? Or do I walk into a bank and fill a form for it? I really need to know, @ Truidstar. (Hope you had a safe trip)

5 hours = #15,000
25 hours per week = # 375,000 per week

Well, if you think about #15,000 (naira) is small for a 5hours job, then I've got nothing else to say, Sir.

Yeah, their currency is smaller than the naira, but they pay better. That's just it.

Really don't know whether to apply for gwangju scholarship or kgsp next year because Gwangju seems easier but the kgsp pays more and gives you a year to learn Korean all Gwangju courses are in English so I don't think you'll be provided with a way to learn Korean in Gwangju
Im in a big dilemma here
