Have any of you used a KBstar account after your work visa expired?
I'm planning on heading to SE Asia for a month or two after my contract, then would like to close out my accounts here in Seoul when I swing back through on my way to N.America.
Do you think I'll still be able to access my money? |

| Yeah. I bank with KB and I left money in my account when a visa expired last June. I visited a girlfriend in Seoul in November and withdrew the money then, but the account is still open with a zero balance. |

| I left my hana bank account open when I went home to visit for a couple weeks between contracts last year. Didn't close on me. |

| In the past, I had a KEB account open for five years during which there was no activity on the account, and I had no work visa for Korea. |
