2. Applying to Korea Citibank, which requires to come in to a branch in South Korea.
There is a Citibank in Busan, South Korea which is the one I went too. I came out of town. I took a train from Miryang to Busan.
From Busan station, I walked out to get to the subway and took the subway to Seomyeon station, Exit 9, turn left at Hanabank, walk straight down, it is on the left side near the police station.
Make sure to have a passport, ARC card, USB.
Also make sure to ask them for online banking, a card will be issued with code numbers.
3. I had issues with signing online so I called the customer support center and Sang Min helped me all the way through which was awesome. Here is here number, just in case your having trouble too: Sang Min 02-3704-7711
