First-week official information checklist for new arrivals
A simple checklist for using official Korean public-service sources during your first week.
Your first week in Korea is easier if you separate official tasks from general life planning. GOV.KR and other official portals should be your source for public-service requirements, while city portals can help with local support. Do not try to finish every topic at once. Start with identity, contact, address, health, transport, and emergency information. For anything that affects legal status or official registration, use the responsible official page as the final source. Keep all official URLs you used in one note so you can re-check them later.

- Separate official requirements from general tips.
- Save official URLs as you research.
- Re-check before submitting documents.
Checklist
- Create one note for official links.
- List urgent topics first.
