South Korea Working Holiday: Live & Work in Asia
Program Overview
South Korea is one of Asia’s most exciting places to live, work and experience something completely different. Spend up to 12 months working as an English teaching assistant while discovering neon cities, late-night noraebang, Korean food, mountain escapes and the culture behind K-pop, gaming and cutting-edge tech... All without needing a degree. Use code GA100 for up to $100 off your trip. You’ll get support preparing for your move plus a pre-arrival job match, helping take the stress out of finding work from overseas. Between contracts, South Korea’s location makes it easy to explore more of Asia, with Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and other regional destinations just a short flight away. If you want to earn abroad, experience Korean culture properly and build a completely different life for a year, this is one of the easiest ways to make it happen.

Why choose Global Work & Travel for your trip?
We offer guaranteed pre-arrival job matches, step-by-step visa support, and 24/5 worldwide help. Plus, our gWorld app puts your trip details, language courses, and a global social network of fellow travellers right in your pocket.
Are international flights and insurance included?
Flights and insurance aren't included due to varying travel dates and locations, but your dedicated Travel Concierge will help you book the best options tailored to your specific budget and adventure needs.
How does accommodation work overseas?
Many partner employers offer subsidized staff housing with fellow travellers. If accommodation isn't included with your job placement, our local team will help you find a safe, comfortable place to live before you arrive.
What is a job match, and is it guaranteed?
A job match means we set up a pre-arranged interview with a host employer before you depart. Show up on time and stay professional! If your first interview doesn't land, our team will arrange another one until you're sorted.
Can I travel and work with a friend or partner?
Yes! We can arrange for you and your friends to be placed together so you can live, work, and explore side by side. Solo travellers can also easily meet future trip mates through our gWorld app social network.
