How does it work?
The Korail Pass can be purchased online, at selected travel agencies and at Korail travel centers.
If you choose the Korail e-pass, you can order it conveniently online and print it out at home. Afterwards, the correct passport can be picked up at all train stations in Korea and at Incheon International Airport. If you prefer the physical Korail Pass instead of the e-ticket, you should bring your passport, the credit card you used when booking online and the e-ticket with you and show it at the station or airport.
The Korail Pass may only be used by the person whose name is on it. Therefore, when purchasing, make sure that accurate information is provided in accordance with the valid passport.
You should always carry the valid printed Korail Pass with you, as well as your passport and seat ticket. Generally only 2nd class seats are issued (for 1st class travel an additional fee must be paid locally in Korea). If you do not reserve a seat, your seat is a standing seat. Reservations can be made online at Korail ‘My Reservations’ or at any Korail counter in Korea free of charge (up to 2 tickets per person per day) from 30 days prior to travel date.
The e-pass should be used within 180 days, otherwise the reservation will not be valid.
