Visa and entry

Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for South Korea before booking flights. Most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. We check the current requirements when we prepare your quote; we cannot guarantee visa approval.

Health and safety

Buy travel insurance that covers medical treatment and evacuation; healthcare abroad can be expensive. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. For current safety advice, check the travel advisories published by the Government of India and the embassy in South Korea.

Currency and tipping

The currency is the South Korean won (KRW). Not customary.

  • Dress modestly at temples, churches and mosques, and remove footwear where asked.
  • Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.

What to pack

Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and swimwear and comfortable walking shoes.

Phone and internet

Indian mobile operators sell international roaming packs, or you can buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival with your passport. Check that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before you travel.
