 |
|
| My boss says that pension and health insurace must be paid for all foreigners in Korea. Now he's nervously getting the paperwork ready for us. If I were to choose pension is it also mandatory to get health insurance as well? I just want pension. |

You shouldn't need your own health insurance if your employer does what he is supposed to do and signs you up for the national plan.
There's no reason for a teacher to have private medical insurance in Korea. |

The thing is the missus and I are looking at a private health plan to cover us if we move overseas and may have found a good one that gives better coverage then the national health plan for not much more....
It isn't compulsary I take the national health plan is it????

| Interesting. Poly School didn't give us either pension or the official insurance, but they did pay half of any submitted medical expense. |
