✈️ Travel Safety and Departure Mandatory Safety Check Before Departure

How to Check Travel Advisory Levels and Register Overseas Travel

Check your destination's 4-tier travel advisory level on the official Safe Travel website before departure to verify any travel ban status. Registering your itinerary on the Safe Travel app provides tailored emergency alerts and 24-hour consular call center assistance.

This is the Travel Safety and Departure item that applies wherever you are going. The 3 checkpoints below can only be settled properly before you leave — put them off and you queue at an airport desk or spend the first day on them instead. Work through them once and nothing has to be reopened.

Key checkpoints

Check the advisory level (Blue, Yellow, Red, or Black) on the official Safe Travel website or app, and never enter Black Alert regions where travel is prohibited.
Install the Safe Travel mobile app and register your travel dates and local emergency contacts to receive safety alerts during disasters or political unrest.
Save the Consular Call Center number (+82-2-3210-0404), free dedicated calling app, and KakaoTalk consultation channel in advance for emergencies like lost passports or accidents.

What to do before departure, in order

Two rules decide the order. First, anything with a deadline — pre-registration, bookings, documents to be issued: miss the cut-off and there is no substitute. Then whatever also works locally, which costs little to postpone.

Most of the items above can only be done before you leave. After arrival, patchy connectivity and opening hours make them harder, so finish what you can while you are still at home.
