Is this even possible? As I just renewed my visa, I am unaware of how I can get the Internet in my new place. I'm not getting much of a response from my NST wrangler. Ideas or experiences?

Probably not likely without an ARC.

No ARC = non resident = short timer/tourist = no internet.

Call : 100 (KT) from a land line (during business hours) and ask. They have English service.

Or you could buy a cheap wifi plug in modem (if it's not integrated) and try your luck.

I don't see why he couldn't if he paid for a year upfront. Very Happy

Ok, here it is. It is possible to get internet (that's right, lower case "i") without an ARC card. An E-2 visa is still needed and one must go to a KT office in order to have THEM photocopy it.


...........Ya put your right foot in. Ya put your right foot out. Ya put your right foot in and ya shake it all about. Ya do the Waygook pokey and ya turn yourself around. That's what it's all about! Very Happy
