The Busan Foundation for International Cooperation has released a guide for expats living in the city.
“Life in Busan” is available in five languages -- Korean, Mandarin Chinese, English, Vietnamese and Indonesian -- and aims to provide “all the information needed to help get settled in Busan quickly.”
Besides information about immigration services and the city in general, the guide has information on utilities, garbage collection, taxes and other everyday living needs. A list of expat support services and useful phone numbers is also provided.
