Practical starting points for workers, international students and families. Every topic includes an official source to confirm current rules.
YOUR KOREA LIFE QUESTIONS
When an AI connection is enabled, ask detailed questions in any supported language. Otherwise, browse our working official-source guides.
Checking AI availability…
Nepali voice depends on voices installed on your device. If no Nepali voice is available, a different-language voice may pronounce Nepali incorrectly.
Voice input depends on browser support and microphone permission. On iPhone, if Speak is unavailable, use the keyboard microphone. Speech recognition may use your device/browser speech service; avoid sensitive details.
Official links are from a manually checked source directory, not a live government lookup.
AI may make mistakes and does not browse live government systems. For visa, law, wages or medical issues, confirm with the linked authority. Never upload identity documents here.
Our independent step-by-step guides, translation tool, document checklists and Korean quiz still work without an AI API key.

Open HiKorea ↗PUBLIC-SERVICE COLLABORATION • 제안용 소개
K-Life AI Mate is an independently developed multilingual public-service navigation prototype for residents of every nationality and the Korean institutions supporting them. It is not an official government service, and no government endorsement is claimed.
Explain government notices and procedures in accessible language, translate everyday questions and link to the original public authority.
Potential future use in resident-support centers, local government counters and universities after review and agreement.
Human-review sources, publishing dates, and changes. Never say a checklist guarantees immigration approval.
Review data flow, third-party processors, consent, retention/deletion and a formal Korean privacy policy before personal information is processed.
Test keyboard-only use, screen readers, large text, contrast, captions and the Korean web accessibility standard (KWCAG 2.2).
Provide accurate translations, service availability, quality testing, monitoring, incident handling and secure API key management.
With permission, test representative tasks with residents and staff; measure completion rate, errors, understanding and time saved.
Use government open data under its terms. Request authorization before booking, submitting or accessing protected government information.
