IS JEJU ISLAND STILL VISA-FREE?
Sharing about the Jeju Island, South Korea journey without needing a visa, on October 13th I drew some extremely surprising experiences as follows:
-
Jeju Island is truly visa-free for Vietnamese people but there are no direct flights from VN to Jeju, so I flew Scoot Airlines and transited at Changi, Singapore (no visa needed) and then flew straight to Jeju Island. However, if you have a Korean visa, flying to Seoul or Incheon will be much easier.
-
When entering South Korea, customs will check you with questions about the purpose of the trip, places you will visit, your accommodation, and especially round-trip flight tickets.
-
Many people are denied entry at Jeju Island because they cannot clearly state their sightseeing purpose, so please research the locations and things you want to do in Jeju carefully!
-
Buy 3G sim, you should buy the sim before flying to Korea for a good price and to avoid using shared wifi like me which was very inconvenient.
-
Jeju Island has many check-in spots and extremely pleasant weather: Seongsan Peak, Lava tube, Aqua planet,.. so many places always.
-
I used the Naver app to translate Korean people's speech because I'm not good at Korean or Papago.
-
Although it is an island, it has all traditional dishes that you should try if you can't get a visa like me.
Wishing you a novel experience when coming to Jeju. Việt Sun thanks everyone.
