Frequently Asked Questions
QCan foreigners get internet cashback?
Yes! If you have an ARC (Alien Registration Card), you can get up to 480,000 KRW cash — same as Korean citizens. The money is deposited within 24 hours of sign-up.
QCan I get internet cashback again every 3 years?
Absolutely. When your contract (usually 3 years) ends, switch to another carrier and get cashback again. Rotate SKT → KT → LG U+ → SKT and get up to 480,000 KRW every 3 years.
QCan I get a SIM card without ARC?
Yes. Budget carriers (T Plus, Hello Mobile, etc.) let you sign up with just a passport. Korean phone numbers start from 19,900 KRW/mo.
QWhat is the appliance rental subsidy?
When you rent a water purifier, air purifier, bidet, etc., you can get up to 300,000 KRW in subsidies. Free installation, free filter changes, and free repairs are all included.
QWhat should I do if my employer doesn't pay me?
Chingu helps you for free. We handle everything from filing complaints to collecting your wages on a success-fee basis — no upfront costs. Average resolution time is 21 days.
QWill internet speed drop if I switch carriers?
No. SKT, KT, and LG U+ all offer the same speeds (500Mbps–1Gbps). You won't notice any difference — and you'll get cashback on top of it.
