About Korea Costs

Korea Costs is a small independent reference for people coming to Korea — tourists, exchange students, and foreign workers. It is not a government site and is not affiliated with any agency or company mentioned here.

How we get the numbers

1. We open the official page that publishes the number: the city or ministry fare table, the agency notice, the carrier's own price page, or the law text.
2. We copy the number from the table itself, not from a search summary or a third-party blog. Search summaries often repeat fares from before a price change.
3. We write down the date shown on the official table ("as of …") and the date we read it. Both appear on every page.
4. When two official pages disagree — for example one page says "up to 4 transfers" and another "up to 5 free transfers" — we quote both and explain what each one means.
5. Calculators on this site only use the rules the official page states. If the page does not state a rule, the calculator does not guess it.

What we do not do

• We do not sell tickets, SIM cards or visa services ourselves. Some pages include clearly labelled affiliate links (Klook). If you book through one we may earn a commission; it never changes the official numbers on this site.
• We do not give legal or immigration advice. For decisions that matter, confirm with the agency on the linked page.

Corrections

If an official page now shows a different number, email us from the contact page with the page link. We re-check and update the page and its check date.
