hey Rekrul, how come they let you and the other foreigners live in Korea? I mean, I can't imagine they give long term Visas to poker players. Or did you find some way to stay there without a visa?
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

With a tourist visa you must leave the country every 3 months. So all you do is fly to Japan for a day and then fly back. I assume that's how it's done?
So wait? I'm bad? =(

That's exactly how it's done - but it sucks in terms of the amount of time/money it takes -_-; It's cheaper to go to China apparently.

you know what, i'm gonna defend Rek here - I feel like a ton of people who have lived here for a few days or weeks can only give you a GLIMPSE of what they know to be truth. please stop generalizing about a country you've only dabbled your feet in. after you've been here for a few years, THEN you can make generalizations.

thank you for your defense, little susan

for visa stuff yeah if u transfer a decent sum of $ u can get an investor visa that lasts 1 yr and is renewable...u can just send it to a bank lol

but yea 3 months is what it is...which is no problem for me cuz i travel much more often than that
why so 진지해?

After doing some of my own research and taking the advice given here. I think I'll wait another year or two and make sure I really have the cash to help with deposits, transport, and the visa. I'll use the time to keep studying Korean and maybe I'll have time to go to school for a few basic classes to do a study abroad thing.

Thanks again everybody!
