Financial Proof for Entry: how it works in South Korea — first-hand

Short answer
Travelers must present a valid K-ETA or visa, proof of accommodation, and a return ticket to their home country. Carry approximately $100 per day in cash and provide a detailed itinerary with at least three locations per day to ensure entry.

From real experience

To successfully cross the South Korean border, travelers must meet several requirements: 1. Possess a valid K-ETA or visa.
2. Demonstrate financial solvency, preferably with cash (recommended $100 per day, though flexible for children) as foreign bank cards may not be easily verifiable. 3. Have return tickets to their country of citizenship or residence. 4. Provide proof of accommodation (hotel booking or Airbnb). 5. Prepare a tourist itinerary, ideally with at least three logically planned locations per day. Ensure all information provided in the K-ETA application accurately reflects your travel purpose (e.g., tourism vs. visiting friends).
