About PlanMyKorea

PlanMyKorea is an independent travel information website created to help international visitors plan smarter, more confident trips to South Korea.

This site is independently operated and maintained by a private editor. It is not a government website and is not affiliated with the Korean government, immigration authorities, airports, airlines, insurance providers, telecom companies, or official tourism organizations.

Our Purpose

The goal of PlanMyKorea is simple:

To provide practical, decision-focused travel guidance for international visitors.

We focus on helping travelers:

• Understand entry and arrival basics
• Navigate transportation systems with clarity
• Estimate realistic travel costs
• Choose areas and travel styles that fit their plans
• Avoid common mistakes that cause confusion

We prioritize clarity over promotion. When a decision depends on season, nationality, or personal travel style, we explain the differences instead of offering one generic answer.

How We Approach Information

Official sources first.

Whenever possible, we base guidance on publicly available official sources such as immigration services, airports, railway operators, and transportation authorities.

Travel policies, prices, and procedures may change. For important matters such as entry requirements, we strongly recommend confirming final details through official announcements before departure.

This website is designed to help you plan and understand - not to replace official instructions.

Independence & Monetization Transparency

PlanMyKorea is independently operated.

To support the maintenance of this website, we may use:

• Advertising services (such as Google AdSense)
• Affiliate links to travel-related services

If affiliate links are used, there is no additional cost to you.

Monetization does not determine editorial decisions. Content is written to prioritize clarity and usefulness for travelers.

Accuracy & Update Policy

We make a good-faith effort to keep information accurate and current.

• Major content updates are reviewed periodically.
• Important policy-related pages may be updated when changes are confirmed.
• Significant updates may be date-stamped for transparency.

However, entry requirements, prices, operating hours, and transportation rules can change without notice and may vary depending on nationality or personal circumstances.

Always verify critical travel details through official sources before making final decisions.

What This Website Does Not Provide

PlanMyKorea does not:

• Provide visa processing services
• Offer booking, ticketing, or reservation services
• Provide legal or immigration advice
• Act as a government authority or official agency

This website provides general informational guidance only.
