South Korea is one of the most hip countries on the planet in the last decade, with a significant culture, a pioneer in modern technology and a renowned and unique gastronomy.

The South Korea Tourism Organisation gives you the opportunity to visit it for free.

The all-expenses paid trip is given under the Visit Korea 2023-2024 program.

The requirements to participate are relatively simple, but require inspiration.

-You must be a non-Korean citizen and reside outside of Korea.
-You must have an active passport for the dates of the trip.

These are the practical requirements. But they are not the only ones.

The applicant must create a theme with personal stories, memories or connections to Korea. Including photos and videos will improve your chances and the text should not exceed 3,000 characters.
