Getting to Seoul for the training

Checklist before the flight

• Passport: check its validity against Korea's requirements for your travel dates on the official website.
  
• K-ETA: apply right after buying your tickets. Processing takes up to 72 hours, payment is by a foreign bank card only, and the authorisation is valid for three years. How I applied - K-ETA for Russian citizens.
  
• Tickets: look for fares with checked baggage and a connection of no more than 4 hours. If you have to collect your baggage during the connection, allow at least 3 hours. More - how I searched for flights to Seoul and the Shanghai layover and baggage.
  
• Keep your return tickets and hotel booking at hand: border control may ask for them.
  
• Cash in euros. Banks exchange up to 600 euros at a time and are closed on Korean public holidays - check your dates. More - how to pay in Korea without Visa and Mastercard.
  
• Buy a WOWPASS card from a machine on your first day.
  
• Do not schedule the training for the day you land or the next morning.
  

Checklist on the spot

• Ask the hotel reception to call a taxi: Kakao T does not register Russian phone numbers.
  

I send participants the academy address, the nearest metro station and the list for the class after booking.

What is paid separately

Participants buy their own flights and accommodation; the course price covers the training, English interpreting, perm solutions and materials.
