South Korea SIM paperwork: laissez-faire or strict?

4/12/2019 1:42:01 PM

I have traveled to South Korea as a tourist several times, most recently a few weeks ago. Each time, I bought an inexpensive prepaid SIM card at the airport, valid for a short period of time (several periods were on offer with differing prices, but on the most recent trip I took one that was valid for 5 days). Data was unlimited, but voice and SMS was not supported (but of course you can simply use VoIP and messaging apps).

No identity documentation was requested and the process was very efficient – from walking up to the counter to walking away with a SIM took about two minutes. There were several vendors – I purchased from KT (Korea Telecom) and the others may differ in the details.
