Non-resident travelers leaving Korea must get permission from the Bank of Korea or the Customs if they carry more than $10,000 in foreign currency or won (including traveler’s checks and bank checks).
However, the amount declared at the time of entry does not need to be declared again.
Those who violate this rule will be fined or punished according to the Foreign Exchange Law.
When you enter Korea for the first time, you need to fill in the entry card without a landing card. The main contents should be filled out according to the actual situation. Please note that the entry card can only be filled out in English or Korean, and it is important to fill in the address after entry.
There is no need to fill in the log-in card, directly to the customs officers to see the log-in card.
The second is to fill in the baggage declaration form, which is required for each entry. After filling in the personal information as usual, there will be a list of various contraband items below. Circle the word ‘no’ and remember to fill in the name and date of entry.
Both the immigration card and the baggage declaration form have Chinese versions. You can ask the stewardess if you don’t understand them. There are often many people queuing to go through customs after getting off the plane.
The airport is also relatively large, so follow the flow of people is the fastest and most convenient way to find the clearance port. After the clearance port, we should pay attention to the distinction between special ports for Koreans and foreigners. Remember to queue up and don’t go to the wrong line.
After you are in the queue, you will hand in your entry card and passport to the customs officer. The entry card will be collected at this time, and then you will look at the camera according to the voice prompt, input your index finger fingerprint, and wait for the customs officer to give you your passport. Then you can go through customs.
You will really set foot on the land of South Korea after the baggage is claimed and cleared out. After the clearance, there will be an electronic display board to tell you which baggage island your luggage is in. The baggage will come out slowly, so you don’t need to worry, just wait patiently.
Once the luggage is out, it’s time to hand over the baggage declaration form to the staff.
3. Luggage and quilts Large items such as quilts and pillows used in daily life can be bought around the school or in the supermarket. Students can also carry their own suitcases if they have a large spare space.
Other small items such as towels, toiletries, umbrellas, utensils (Korean chopsticks are mostly metal and can be awkward to use) can also be brought.
Medicine is also very necessary to bring, because the food environment of China and South Korea is different, and the effect of taking medicine is not quite the same. In addition, many students who just go to South Korea may not know what medicine to buy, but don’t bring too much medicine, otherwise they may be detained at the airport.
The climate in South Korea is similar to that in Shandong Province of China. The four seasons are distinct. Students can bring clothes for different seasons according to their own circumstances.
You don’t need to bring too much clothes. You can also buy them in local shopping malls after arriving in South Korea. The price is not much different from the clothes sold in domestic shopping malls, and the styles are relatively new and good-looking.
Shoes can be a pair of dress shoes heel casual shoes, easy to replace.
Finance students need to buy basic necessities when they go to school, and cash is important in the first few weeks of adjustment.
But you do not need to bring too much, one is the domestic exchange rate is low, it is not cost-effective, the other is to carry a large amount of cash is not safe, generally bring 3000~5000 yuan cash can be.
(Airports and banks in South Korea can exchange yuan for won, and money exchangers can exchange won at a higher rate.) The amount of cash must not exceed $10,000.
