Trusted by global professionals relocating to Korea.

"His attention to detail is remarkable. I merely mention some need, and he does not forget, even after I forget."

Frank Wurster

from USA to Busan

"Ros secured my visa in less than 30 minutes. Rental car? No problem. Cell phone? No problem. Apartment? No problem. He and his partner are worth their weight in gold."

Mark Taylor

Training Consultant, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power

"It was then that I knew I could trust him. He takes care of everything that needs to be taken care of. Without Rosh I'd probably still be looking for a place to live. The man works magic."

Miles Bradley

Retired Foreign Expert, USA → Korea

"Without help from Rosh I'd have been unable to focus on my work so quickly. He greatly reduces the inconvenience and expense of international work."

Thomas E. Anderson

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How early should we start the relocation process?

Ideally four to six weeks before arrival, which gives us time to prepare your visa and secure housing. That said, we regularly handle expedited and last-minute moves. Tell us your date and we'll work to it.

Which cities do you cover?

Busan is our home base. We also operate across Ulsan, Geoje and Changwon, and serve clients in Seoul. If your destination sits outside these, ask us. We frequently arrange support nationwide.

Do you work with corporate HR and assignees?

Yes. We act as a single accountable partner for company-sponsored relocations, with consolidated billing and direct coordination with your HR and assignees, so your people are productive from week one.

Which visa types can you support?

All Korea work and non-work visas, the Alien Registration Card, extensions and status changes. We advise on the correct category, prepare every document, and accompany you to the immigration office.

Is the service available entirely in English?

Entirely. Consultation, documents, lease negotiation and day-to-day communication are all handled in English, so nothing is lost in translation.

What support continues after we move in?

Tenancy management for the length of your stay, covering utilities, repairs, inspections and lease renewals, plus on-call assistance for hospital visits, paperwork and the unexpected.
