I have recently run into some legal troubles here involving pension. I heard there was free law services provided for foreigners.
Does anyone know how I can get in touch with them? Thanks |

Contact the people at Seoul Global Center.

I believe they have a lawyer around a couple of times a week or by appointment.

The Korean Legal Aid Organization will give you FREE advice. However, if you want to meet them in person to discuss a case they only have free consoling for a few hours during the day on Monday. My co-workers called and got free advice over the phone instantly though. Give it a try..

Edit: "Legal aid eligibility extended to include:
-Domestic citizens and foreign residents with their average income -under 2.2 mil. won per month."
I know they advised a friend who went to the labor board as well... |

Doesn't it seem odd that they've specified the base pay for ESL teachers as the ceiling amount? It sounds like their intention is to provide legal aid to indigent foreigners, i.e. migrant workers.
Nonetheless OP you should contact them or the global help center. |
