A good card for foreign students in Korea

Date:

Reccomendation three cards for foreign students

Koreans usually pay by credit card in Korea. Therefore, it is more convenient for foreign students to carry a card than cash in their lives in Korea. So, Today I will recommend a good card for foreign students that is good to use in Korea!

1. PAYCO

Payco is a representative mobile payment service in Korea. Payco cards are issued by several financial institutions in cooperation with Payco, and both credit and debit cards exist.

Benefits of Payco Card

Payco is a good card for foreign students because you can pay at various stores. It is easy to accumulate and use points, and you can use them later.
In other words, you can use the points accumulated when you pay at Payco franchises like cash.
It’s very easy to issue. You can easily pay after issuing it on the mobile app.


PAYCO Card offers a wide range of benefits, Payco Card offers discounts and benefits through various partnerships with Payco, and you can enjoy a wide range of discounts through Payco membership services.
Finally, the PAYCO card looks pretty. You can choose between red and white.

2. Student Card

The student ID card is an ID card issued by most schools, and it is a card that allows students to identify themselves and receive various benefits in school life.

The school student ID is not only freely accessible to the school’s facilities, but can also be used in daily life.And public transportation student ID cards are also available in most public transportation. 
You can usually use the student ID card at a discounted rate.
Finally, the student ID card has an ID card replacement function. 
For example, if you don’t need a resident registration card, you can present your student ID card instead.

3. Certificate of alien registration

The alien registration card is the identification card of a foreigner in Korea and a domestic identification card
It’s an indispensable item in Korean life.
For example, in daily life, foreign registration cards such as cards, national insurance, lease loans, and Korean driver’s license applications are also required for identification and issuance.
Also, a series of information such as our date of birth, visa information, registration card number, nationality, and residence are displayed on the alien registration card so that you can live a more convenient life in Korea!

First of all, foreign students who stay in Korea for more than 90 days from the date of entry must register as foreigners within 90 days from the date of entry.
Previous images of alien registration cards have been used since 2011.
Pictures are black and white and small in size, making it difficult for employees to distinguish when working.
The Ministry of Justice said it will issue a new alien registration card from April 1 to enhance convenience and practicality.


The new alien registration card requires changing the picture to a color picture. In addition, the size has been expanded by 35%, and the source has been changed from left to right. The login certificate is consistent.
The personal information of the alien registration card is included in the machine-readable QR code to increase the utilization of the alien registration card.

The old alien registration card you have is still valid, but what should I do to get a new one? You have to return your old alien registration card and pay a fee (30,000 won) to get it reissued.
Of course, if you don’t have to hurry, it’s more advantageous to get a new alien registration card when your visa expires.
The new version of the certificate also indicates that Korea accepts foreigners’ suggestions, raising foreigners’ awareness of Korea and the convenience of our lives.I hope you will make our study abroad life more convenient by actively making suggestions in Korea.
