Korea

Korea, located on the Korean Peninsula and bordered by China, Japan, and Russia, is divided into North and South Korea—two regions with distinct identities. While North Korea remains known for its strict governance and limited tourism, it still offers a glimpse into its rich history and unique culture. South Korea, on the other hand, has become a global hotspot, drawing visitors for its advanced technology, vibrant pop culture, and dynamic cities like Seoul and Busan.

South Korea’s growing tourism industry reflects its lively festivals, diverse cuisine, and warm hospitality. Expats are particularly drawn to Seoul’s urban energy and Jeju Island’s natural beauty. Whether for work, study, or leisure, many foreigners find South Korea appealing for its balance of modern convenience and cultural tradition, all set within a highly connected and progressive society.

Gambling laws differ between the two regions. North Korea strictly prohibits gambling for locals, though a casino for foreigners operates in the country. South Korea enforces similar restrictions for citizens, allowing locals to gamble only at the Kangwon Land Resort and Casino. However, foreigners can access several casinos across the country and participate freely in gaming. Online gambling platforms have also become increasingly popular among expats, reflecting Korea’s evolving yet controlled approach to entertainment.
