Setup & Banking
Q

T-moneyカードは日本で事前購入できますか？

A

原則として、日本国内での販売は行われていません。仁川国際空港到着後、第1ターミナル地下1階または第2ターミナル交通センターのコンビニで購入するのが最も便利です。空港鉄道(AREX)に乗る前に購入しておけば、すぐに利用開始できます。

Healthcare
Q

Can I opt out of Korea National Health Insurance as a foreigner?

A

No. Since the July 2019 amendment to the National Health Insurance Act, opting out is not allowed for foreigners staying six months or longer with an ARC. Limited exceptions exist only for those with equivalent private coverage approved in advance by NHIS, which is rarely granted to individual applicants.

Q

Apakah aman makan di restoran Korea biasa sebagai Muslim?

A

Tidak sepenuhnya aman. Banyak masakan Korea menggunakan kaldu daging babi (donkkaseu), mirin (anggur masak), atau soy sauce yang mengandung alkohol. Lebih aman memilih restoran bersertifikat KMF atau menanyakan secara spesifik tentang bahan-bahan kepada pemilik restoran sebelum memesan.
