Culture and etiquette

to yours This is a brief introduction to etiquette and Korean culture that will help you better understand life in Korea.

Bow: Bowing is the most common form of greeting in Korea. Informal form of bowing reminds a nod, and a deep bow is considered the most polite greeting. Koreans sit cross-legged on the floor and bow deeply to the elderly.

The usual form of bowing consists of several stages:

Stand up right at a distance of 1-2 meters from the person you intend to bow to.
Take a bow from the small of your back while keeping your neck straight.
Straighten up.
Greet: “안녕하십니까”?

In order to feel natural, you must first practice this procedure. Bow And words: "안녕하십니까" ? – is liked by most Koreans as it conveys respect and modesty. It is also important to note that when speaking to elders, making eye contact is considered disrespectful.

Handshake: despite the increased number of handshakes in last years, it is not a traditional part of Korean culture. Shaking hands with a person of higher status or older yourself, when performing a slight bow, place your left hand on your right forearm. In the West, a very firm handshake is a sign of trust and respect, but if you do this in Korea, your new acquaintance may feel uncomfortable.

Respect for elders: Koreans have a reverent attitude towards age. Elders are treated with great respect. Young people always greet older people first. Guys call sisters or girls older girls - "Nuna", and younger girls - "Unni". "Hyung" is an older brother or a grown man for boys, and "Oppa" is for girls. If a person is over forty or if there are 10 summer age difference, then such men are called “Azhussi”, and women are called “Azhuma”.

Language of the body: Touching someone who is not a relative or close friend is considered a violation of personal space among Koreans. When communicating, try to avoid touching and patting. Always pass and receive objects with your right hand (wrist or forearm should be supported with the left) or two hands. To call someone over, you need to extend your hand, palm down, and make “scratching movements” with your fingers. And never guide your index finger. When sitting, do not cross your legs. Keep your feet on the floor, not on your desk or chair.

Attachment: girlfriends and women who are relatives of each other can be recognized by the way they walk holding hands, which is a symbol of close relationships. Close friends relationship among men, are also expressed in a tendency to show less personal space towards each other, in comparison with how it is customary in the West. A close connection is demonstrated through friendly gestures. However, hugs are used less frequently as a greeting among Koreans than in Europe. Kissing and other intimate expressions of love in in public places- unacceptable.

Public transport: There are special seats at the end of subway cars and at the front of buses intended for the elderly, disabled and pregnant women. If everything busy, then it is customary for these persons to give up their seats in another part of the transport. Elderly people often categorically refuse such an offer, but the person who gives in, as a rule, insists on his own. If there is one free seat, Korean women are more likely to allow their companions - men sit, but they prefer to ride standing. Those sitting are expected to hold the bags of their companions.

Lavatory/toilet: Not all public places (bars, restaurants, etc.) have restrooms, but some use a public restroom inside the building. It is advisable to always carry napkins with you, as All restrooms can provide them. In some stations and other public places you may find Asian style toilets where the user is required to "squat" and throwing away Used napkins into specially designed containers. Most restaurants and cafes such as Outback Steakhouse, McDonald's, Coffee Bean, Tea Leaf, Starbucks have Western-style restrooms.

Street: Koreans usually walk on the left side of the sidewalk, opposite the flow of traffic. It's not often that you come across pedestrians walking and eating food at the same time. In many areas Can meet places that sell various snacks and light meals. However, it is customary to eat on the spot, standing in front of the counter. Don't forget that cars drive on the right in Korea. And on the sidewalks, delivery men on scooters periodically appear as if out of nowhere, so be vigilant!

Safety and security

South Korea is a relatively safe country. Until late at night as in big cities, and in rural areas, you can meet people on the street.

You can bring your pets

For that, to Bringing your pets requires a quarantine or rabies vaccination certificate issued by veterinary clinic or your government. In addition, with a certificate of quarantine you must contact the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service.

Korea is one of the most safe countries in the world: no large number of thefts, no drug addicts, no robberies, and public morality is so developed and strong that it is almost impossible to hear rudeness addressed to you.

If you decide to go to South Korea, namely in, decide on specific dates in advance, because the cost of the flight will depend on them, and not on how far in advance you buy plane tickets. The cheapest tickets to South Korea are, and.

If we talk about transport in Seoul, then to rent a car you will need an international license book - Russian plastic is not suitable. All public transport and orange taxi (state) is paid for by the T-money system - a plastic card on which money is deposited through the terminal.

Everything is like in Russia - you put your card on the turnstile, it tells you the remaining balance, and you move on.

The subway is quiet and calm inside the cars, but no one waits for people to get off and gets on right away, so be prepared to jostle a lot and for a long time. If you live in Moscow and think that this will not surprise you, you are mistaken, in Korea everything is much tougher.

There are corrugated paths in the subway and on the streets yellow color- guidelines for the blind. In Seoul, everything is quite well equipped for people with disabilities, so if you or your relatives were afraid to face the problem of the inability of Korean streets, then feel free to brush aside all fears.

Money. You shouldn't count on credit cards - they are accepted, but rarely and reluctantly: Koreans really love cash. Therefore, exchange part of the money immediately at the airport, and the rest in banks. When you go to stores, pay attention to the price tags. If they are not there, the price of the product is most likely greatly inflated, and you will not be able to negotiate.

If you smoke, take a supply of cigarettes with you because Koreans hardly smoke and it can be difficult to buy cigarettes.

Before the trip, you need to remember about the traditional greeting - you need to bow slightly. Koreans also prefer to bow rather than say “thank you” as a form of gratitude. Direct eye contact, by the way, can be regarded as a threat and disrespect. You can also shake hands, but there is a special ritual in this too: both the right and left hands are presented and shaken, although preference is given to the right - the left hand is placed under the right. If this rule is not followed, the impression will be that you are a very uncultured person and far from polite.

If it turns out that you will be drinking with one of the Koreans, you should never fill your glass - pour it for others, not for yourself.

Since we're talking about alcohol, it's worth mentioning food. The meal cannot begin until the oldest person in age sits down at the table. When choosing food, don't think that in Seoul they cook only dogs and insects, you can find completely normal European cuisine there, but the food is often spicier than we are used to. Also, not all cafes and restaurants offer tea, but they always bring water for free. But be prepared for the fact that in some restaurants and cafes they wash plates right on the road, and you watch all this.


A tourist can stay in Korea without obtaining a visa for a maximum of two months. In 2020, the price of such a visa was $125 if you had a hotel reservation, and $195 if you did not have a reservation. The visa processing time is 7 working days. The price increases for urgent visa processing within 3 days.

If you want to stay for a longer period, Korea requires you to register with the local migration service. For longer stays additional permits are required.

There is a visa type F-2, which is the essence of a residence permit in a form that is quite familiar to us. It turns out in several ways. The simplest is to enter into a marriage with a Korean citizen: to obtain a residence permit, you must submit certain documents, including a marriage certificate.

Sample visa to visit South Korea

For the first time, the right to long-term stay in the country is issued for three years. After the expiration of the established period, it is necessary to determine whether to extend this visa or immediately apply for an F-5 visa, which is permanent residence.

Another option for obtaining a residence permit in 2020 is quite vague - a residence permit is granted to foreigners who have lived in Korea for quite a long time and have made a significant contribution to the life of the country.

This path can be called difficult due to the fact that there are no clear criteria by which to evaluate the contribution to the development of the country.

Another method, not widespread, but still a good option. We are talking about “professional migration” or residence permit for specialists. The F-2 visa can be issued to foreigners living and working in Korea on a specific visa type (engineers, master's students, professors, etc.). To apply for a residence permit, you just need to score the required number of points out of the maximum - 120. The minimum threshold is 80 points.

This is what an ID card looks like in South Korea

No one gives a guarantee of obtaining a residence permit, but if you pass the minimum threshold, the chances increase. If you still receive this type of visa, then you will be issued an F-5 visa, which provides the opportunity to live in the country. After a certain time, you can. The advantage of this method is that a professional who has received an F-2 visa can bring his family to Korea using the same visa.
After a year, the visa can be extended, but it is important to show that the company is profitable and provides jobs for Koreans. Otherwise, there is a high probability of visa refusal.
The advantage of this method is that in 2020 the market in the country is not saturated and there is no need to open extremely expensive production facilities; you can open, for example, an inexpensive restaurant.

Thanks to a number of new agreements recently concluded between South Korea and the Russian Federation, A visa to Korea for Russians in 2020 will not be required if the period of stay does not exceed sixty days, the purpose of the visit can be any.

For a longer visit, an entry visa is obtained in advance at the South Korean Embassy or at the Consulates located in the cities of St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, Irkutsk. Also, travel agencies accredited at the Embassy have the right to issue a Korean visa.

The Republic of Korea is one of the four "Asian Tigers" - the most economically developed countries region.

Visa legislation North Korea differs significantly from the regime of its southern neighbor. It is not easy to get into North Korea, and if it is possible, then severe restrictions are imposed on the movements of a foreigner. Do you need a visa to North Korea or not? There is a clear answer to this question: yes, you do. This issue will be discussed further.

For example, residents of Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky have a much shorter flight time to Seoul than to Moscow.

Visa to North Korea

If a foreigner wants to visit North Korea, it will not be easy to obtain a visa; it is generally impossible to do it on your own. The country continues to build communism under the leadership of the permanent ruling Kim clan, which has established a total dictatorship on the territory of the state. In order not to shake the foundations of its power, the leadership limits the entry of foreigners as much as possible.

In the case of a group tour, the visa is issued by a tour operator that is officially recognized by the North Korean authorities. If you are planning an individual trip, then it can also be done only with a tour operator, who in this case will act as an applicant for a visa to North Korea.

The visa application is processed for a month, and a regular tourist form must be filled out in 3 languages: Russian, Korean and English. The North Korean Embassy in the Russian Federation does not even have a website, so it is impossible to see any more or less correct examples or tips, from which the conclusion is drawn that if such barriers exist, most likely in North Korea independent tourists are not welcome, the visit is only possible through an approved tour operator.
