According to the Korean Statistical Information Service (KOSIS), as of the end of 2021, there were approximately 4,400 Mexican nationals living in South Korea.
The majority of Mexicans living in South Korea are expatriates who have come to the country for work or study. Many Mexicans work in industries such as technology, finance, and education, while others come to study at South Korean universities or language institutes.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of Mexicans living in South Korea, thanks in part to the growing economic and cultural ties between the two countries. The South Korean government has also implemented policies to attract foreign talent and provide opportunities for international students to study and work in the country.
Despite the relatively small number of Mexicans in South Korea, there are a number of organizations and groups that cater to the Mexican community. The Embassy of Mexico in South Korea provides consular services and supports various cultural and educational events. There are also Mexican restaurants and shops in major cities such as Seoul and Busan.
Overall, while the number of Mexicans living in South Korea is relatively small compared to other immigrant groups, their presence and contributions are valued and recognized by the local community.
