So what's the deal with getting a credit card this side ?

Two conflicting versions . One states that you need to put up some form of fixed desposit . The other says that if you work for a public school this isn't necessary .

What does the process entail ?

Thanks.

And then it's up to each banks discretion as well but, you're right, Hagwons are looked upon w/ great trepidation.

So how about KB bank ?

[spliff]

Ahhh...it's a bank.

Well thanks for the help .

I work for a public school . Amble in and say "credit card " enough times until it clicks ? What docs do I need ?

once you get your "health insurance" card/paper from your school you can get a Lotte credit card.

Or, every now and then credit card people come to your school to solicit your teachers for a credit card. Tell them you want a credit card and as long as you have your health card, alien card, and a bank book you are good to go.

I have a bank account , but havent got my alien card yet . So I need the alien card first ?
