Sorry for not responding sooner. The NPS CSR I spoke with had good English fluency and was very helpful. So, yes, I would recommend using the NPS office near Chungmuro.
What was the name of the recruiting agency you used?

Were you furnished with a NHIC card two years ago? Didn't you ever pause to ask yourself, "Where's my medical card?"
As for which pension office is best qualified to help, I recommend the office on the 15th floor of the Kukdong building near Chungmuro station. I used them recently and found them very helpful. There's a map here:

They provided me with private medical insurance which we split the cost 50/50. The information provided by the recruiter on the website said that since hagwon's are private that employees of hagwons are not in the pension scheme. It wasn't until a friend of mine was leaving her hagwon and mentioned she had to go to the pension office for her refund that the curiosity kicked in. Oh well it's been a learning experience and now I know...and knowing is half the battle 
Thanks for the link. I'll call or drop in the next time I can and hopefully get the wheels in motion on this. Did they have any english speakers btw? |

No worries. I appreciate the help.
I went with Footprints Recruiting.
I'll be heading to Seoul in a few weeks when I have holidays but I'm going to try calling the International Office and see if I can talk to someone beforehand. Were you able to get everything sorted out that day or did it take a few visits? |
