Can I book before I arrive in Korea?
Updated
Yes — that is what HomesInKorea is built for. You can browse, chat with hosts, request a contract and pay from anywhere with a card issued outside Korea (VISA, Mastercard, JCB, AMEX, Diners, Discover). Nothing has to be done in person.
- After your first payment you can issue a Certificate of Lease Agreement for your visa or school paperwork, before you fly.
- You can move in from 3:00 PM on your move-in date; the host's contact details appear in your booking once the contract is confirmed, so you can arrange key handover in advance.
- Tip: if your bank blocks overseas online payments by default, turn them on in your banking app before you pay (see "My payment failed").
