1) SIM Cards
If you want a SIM Card with a Korean phone number there are few things you should keep in mind:
- According to Korean Law: foreigners without a Long-Term visa can’t hold a Korean phone number for more than 90 days.
This means that the maximum time you will be able to use a SIM card if you are visiting Korea is 3 months. - If you want to use a SIM card for longer than 90 days you will have to provide a copy of your ARC (Alien Registration Card).
- Once you submit your ARC copy you can extend the SIM card service for as long as your visa period is indicated.
Enjoy Korea like a local with a local Korean SIM card
1.1) Service Extension
The previous law also applies for extension of previous SIM card others;
As long as the total usage period is not longer than 90 days (on a short-term visa) you can extend your SIM card as many times as you want.
In order to extend your sim card service with KoreaTravelEasy you can follow these steps:
- 1) Simply purchase the service again (just as you did before)
- 2) Indicate your PREVIOUS order number (#00000) as a “Specials Request” when you place the new order.
- 3) Wait for your confirmation voucher.
- 4) And don’t worry abut picking it up again as the service will be automatically extended to your current device!
