Being flagged in the Full Farmland Survey does not trigger immediate payment. The rules summarised here reflect South Korea's Farmland Act and ministry announcements through October 8, 2026. What triggers the fine and sets its size Distinguish a survey finding from an order to dispose of the land. For ordinary noncultivation, the process can move from a duty to dispose to a disposal order, then a fine if the order is not followed without a justifiable reason. The calculation uses the higher of the appraised value and the value based on the officially assessed individual land price. A base value of 1 billion won means a fine of 250 million won each time it is imposed. The fine may recur once a year until compliance, so payment does not resolve the violation.

This content applies specifically to South Korea. A higher jeonse deposit alone is not a reason for you to buy a home. First check whether the lease can be renewed and what housing costs are affordable. Jeonse is a Korean rental arrangement based on a deposit. Compare costs and payment dates together Compare staying, moving and buying over the same period of residence. Separate the costs ultimately paid from monthly cash needs: loan principal repayments reduce debt but still require cash. This helps you see what remains for everyday expenses. Match the existing deposit's expected return date with the new home's final payment date. Sufficient total assets do not necessarily mean cash is available when payment is due. A deposit return guarantee has payout conditions and procedures; it does not ensure cash arrives by that date.

This content applies specifically to South Korea. If you are planning a move, October 2026 was the planned application month, not confirmation that applications opened. The August 20, 2026 announcement proposed starting with homes worth at most ₩2 billion, with no income or asset limits for applicants. Check HUG's application notice for actual dates. Amounts below are in Korean won. How the deposit arrangement works Jeonse is a Korean lease arrangement built around a large deposit. Under this voluntary program, the Korea Housing & Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG) manages the deposit and returns it when the lease ends. The landlord receives an agreed monthly return. For you as a tenant, this identifies who must return the deposit; it is not a monthly cash subsidy.

This content applies specifically to South Korea. If you are checking whether middle-class income qualifies for universal public rental housing, the limits were still under review in the September 21, 2026 announcement. The Housing Stability Plan targets 1,188,000 publicly supported homes from 2026 to 2030, but that total does not mean homes ready to occupy.   Separate housing targets from moving dates Of the total, 917,000 homes are allocated to the Seoul metropolitan area. Supply is counted at different stages, including construction starts, purchase agreements and contracts. For a practical moving schedule, you need the move-in date in each recruitment notice, rather than the headline target. A separate government estimate puts approximately 150,000 homes nationwide on the occupancy schedule from the fourth quarter of 2026 to the end of 2027. Checking project dates can help keep day-to-day moving preparations tied to the relevant schedule.   Housing Stability Plan ...

This content applies specifically to South Korea. If your workplace, investment, housing contract, or port operations involve a South Korean public institution, the announced reduction of 109 organizations may affect which entity handles them. The figure equals approximately 20% of the organizations included in the count, but it does not mean 109 entities will simply close or that 109 employees will lose their jobs. The announcement sets a direction rather than finalizing individual changes. Costs, headquarters locations, employment arrangements, asset transfers, and implementation schedules still require follow-up procedures.   What the reduction of 109 actually means The total combines institutional consolidation with subsidiary restructuring. Five public power generation companies are planned to become one corporation, four port authorities are set for consolidation, and the oil and gas corporations are proposed to merge. Korea Coal Corporation is instead planned for liqui...

This content applies specifically to South Korea. If you own one home in Korea but do not live in it, the revised September 2026 government proposal keeps the basic deduction at ₩1.2 billion instead of cutting it to ₩900 million. For a married couple jointly owning one home, it also retains ₩600 million per person, or ₩1.2 billion combined, while the tax burden cap remains 150% rather than rising to 200%. These figures are not final law, so the rules for the relevant tax year still need confirmation. The confusing part is that some proposed increases were withdrawn while others remain. Separating current law, the original proposal, and the revised proposal can prevent you from estimating a tax bill with the wrong threshold.   What the revised proposal preserves Non-occupying single-home owners keep the current ₩1.2 billion deduction under the revised proposal. Joint owners who are married also avoid the proposed reduction from ₩600 million to ₩400 million per person. This pre...
