Starting from 2018, no banks will allow you to open a bank account with simply a passport. Those good old days are gone due to new strict laws in Korea. If you are a student or working in Korea you will have to bring documents proving it.
Student:
- Student ID card
- Alien Registration Card
- Passport
- Bill payment of courses
- Proof of Address (Housing contract)
Working in Korea:
- Alien Registration Card
- Passport
- Proof of employment (e.g pay stub)
- Proof of address (Housing contract)
Even if you are on a F-visa but you are not a student or working in Korea. You will not be able to open a bank account.
