Half-Price Travel Refunds: Local Currency, Not Cash

The 2026 scheme generally reimburses eligible travel spending at 50% after approved travel and evidence submission. Refunds are local currency, not cash. Indicative caps are KRW 100,000 for one person and KRW 200,000 for two or more, but youth/family exceptions and local rules differ. Apply first and check deadlines.

Why it matters now

Practical application guidance for the current October–November 2026 regional travel support program.

Travel dates and application dates are different. Availability can end early. Confirm your approval before departure; transport, room rates and business hours require separate verification.

What we're seeing

KTO's official half-price travel page provides locality-specific terms; it does not confirm any particular applicant's approval.

What we still don't know

Live budget balance, personal residential eligibility, approval, settlement and individual venue operating details were not checked.
