Money for a short stay
Here for days or weeks, not settling in? Start here. On a short trip the money side is mostly about paying without someone taking a cut: cards, cash, transit, exchange, and refunds.
Paying & cash
Will my card work? KRW vs DCC, ATMs, and how much cash to bring.
→ Transit cards
T-money and the Climate Card: buy, top up, get a refund.
→ Currency exchange
Where and how to change money, and the cheaper alternatives.
→ Tourist tax refund
Tax-free shopping: who qualifies and how much comes back.
→ Staying longer?
Start with the money setup for your first 30 days, then banking, housing, salary and more
