이유
30 days: 10GB $19.03 or 20GB $30.04, while the paperwork moves
Live from Incheon: dorm hunting, KakaoTalk, campus maps
One QR emailed before the flight, easy for parents to check
March and September intakes are the busy queues; apply early.
학교
Universities run March and September semesters; language institutes admit four times a year.
The visa goes in your passport at home; the alien registration card is applied for after you arrive, at immigration.
TOPIK is held several times a year. Level 3 opens up part-time work and most scholarships.
Open a bank account as soon as the ARC lands; landlords and carriers both ask for one.
지혜
Register your address at the local office; almost everything else depends on it.
Keep this eSIM until the ARC exists, then move to a cheap local MVNO contract.
A student T-money card is cheaper per ride and works on everything.
Campus cafeterias are the cheapest hot meal in Korea, by a wide margin.

열두달
Deep cold and empty palaces. Ski season in Gangwon.
The coldest weeks end; Seollal shuts the country for three days.
Grey turns green. Cherry blossom reaches Jeju at the end of the month.
Blossom sweeps north: Jinhae, then Yeouido, then Seoul.
The best month. Warm, dry, and everything is open.
Green and humid; the rains build toward the end.
Monsoon. Museums, cafes and the odd perfect blue day.
Hot and loud. Beaches, festivals, and air conditioning.
Chuseok empties Seoul and fills every road out of it.
Autumn starts on Seoraksan's ridges. Ideal walking weather.
Peak danpung in Seoul, then Busan. Our favourite month.
First snow, illuminations, and a quiet run-up to New Year.
비자
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
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.
LG U+, on 4G and 5G.
Not at purchase. Each plan says at checkout whether its days begin when you install it or when it first connects in Korea.
It depends on the plan, and checkout shows it before you pay. Hotspot uses the same data.
