WONKAI INSIGHT

Why it matters

The announcement concerns tickets booked and issued before January 1, 2025, followed by departure on or after that date, and an already-paid KRW 1,000 fund component. It describes Korean and foreign nationals; individual processing still needs confirmation.

What to check now

  1. Check ticketing records, actual departure dates and whether the fund component was paid.
  2. Follow the application address linked by the foreign ministry and ask about reissued tickets or unclear cases.
  3. Do not assume a closing date or payment date that the announcement did not specify.
