Itinerary Planning and Travel Documents in South Korea: real experience from chats

Short answer
Prepare for border interviews by carrying 100 USD in cash per day, confirmed return tickets, and a booked hotel. You must provide a detailed daily tourist itinerary and ensure your K-ETA or visa data matches your specific travel plans.

From real experience

When entering South Korea, be prepared for potential interviews at border control.
Key requirements and recommendations include: 1) Possessing cash equivalent to 100 USD per person per day (bank statements are not accepted as proof). 2) Having confirmed return tickets to your country of citizenship/residence. 3) A booked hotel or accommodation. 4) A detailed tourist itinerary (at least 3 locations per day, logically structured). 5) Valid K-ETA or visa, ensuring all data matches actual travel plans (e.g., purpose of visit). Do not present all documents unless explicitly asked. Some travelers report not being questioned on cash, but it's a stated requirement.
