ESIM HANBOK
Korean palace grounds in autumn
추석

Korea's biggest holiday. Half the country on the road.

Chuseok empties Seoul and fills every road out of it. Trains sell out weeks ahead, and the network takes a beating on the days it matters.

Buy now, activate whenever you land.

이유

Why an eSIM over the holiday

5GB for 7 days, $10.01, covers the exodus, the holiday and the return

Palaces open free to hanbok wearers; most small shops shut for three days

Book KTX the minute the window opens, or take an express bus

Data holds up better than the ticket websites do.

지혜

Tips for the three days

Trains

KTX seats for Chuseok open about a month out and sell in minutes. Express buses are the fallback and run all night.

Opening

Palaces and museums stay open, often free in hanbok. Small restaurants and family shops close for three days.

Traffic

Seoul to Busan can take twelve hours by road on the worst day. Check Naver Map before committing to a car.

Culture

Folk villages run charye demonstrations and ganggangsullae circles; those are the days worth planning around.

비자

Do you need a visa?

Most EU, UK, Australian, US and Canadian passports enter visa-free for 90 days, but you must apply for **K-ETA** online before you fly unless your nationality is on the current exemption list. Checked Sep 8, 2026; rules change, confirm on the official K-ETA site.

Fill in the arrival card and customs declaration through Q-CODE or on paper; Q-CODE is faster at Incheon.

Your passport only needs to stay valid for the length of the stay.

If an EID appears, your phone takes an eSIM.

No EID? Don't buy this. The counters in Incheon arrivals sell physical SIMs.

질문

Four questions, answered straight

What happens when the data runs out?

Fixed plans keep working at 128 kbps, enough for KakaoTalk and a map, not for video. No extra charge. Need more? Unlimited plans stay at full speed.

Which network is it?

LG U+, on 4G and 5G.

When does the clock start?

Not at purchase. Each plan says at checkout whether its days begin when you install it or when it first connects in Korea.

Can I hotspot?

It depends on the plan, and checkout shows it before you pay. Hotspot uses the same data.

연락

Leave an email and we'll send the Chuseok timing guide.
