Insurance and an eSIM

Get these on GoAbroad if you still need them.

If your campus already enrolled you in CISI, skip the insurance row. Do not buy a second policy.

  1. Required unless school covers you

    Confirm whether your school already mandates CISI for Korea. If they do not, buy medical and evacuation on GoAbroad before ICN.

  2. Required

    A Korean tourist SIM is built for a week in Myeongdong. A GoAbroad eSIM can be a term plan — check the 90-to-180-day option before you buy a 7-day pack.
