A friend of mine misplaced his passport while staying in Jeju island. Normally I would advise him to just travel to Seoul, get an emergency passport from his embassy and fly back home without issues, but I know that Jeju island has a special immigration regime.

Are there any immigration checks on the way from Jeju island to Seoul? If not, can one travel that route without a passport?

You need an ID for domestic flights. They need an ID to pass through security, and those who are not authorized to visit the mainland will be turned back (at Security or check-in).

Accepted IDs: (source, Korean)

  1. Passport
  2. International Driving Permit
  3. Alien Registration Card
  4. Korean Permanent Resident Card
  5. ID for US Army in Korea
