looking for rough figure on total cost of return flight to osaka from seoul including cheap bed, food, transport, visa fee etc.
debating whether to have hagwon reimburse me for flight to korea or pay for visa run.
thanks,. |

Why aren't they paying for both?????
-Visa run is your hagwons responsibility to pay for. if they brought you over here with the full knowledge that you needed to go on a visa run then ask for the money for both...
I have both times before.....I got 350 000 for my first visa run and 500 000 for my last one to Fukuoka. |

i came to korea on my own and now looking for hagwon. most are only willing to pay for either ticket to korea or visa run....not both.
so you figure w500,000 will cover flight, visa fee, food and misc.? |

Down and cheap you can get by with about 200k won (visa cost + expenses) PLUS the cost of your ticket.
An airticket to Osaka can run from 350-600k won depending on date, flight, airline and passenger load. |

thats right...
However I went to fukuoka and it is 200 000 return for the ferry.
So 500 000 was heaps.....but for an osaka run it may be just break even.

Plane ticket for sure will be more expensive than the visa run....
going to Fukuoka it is enough as you take a ferry(only 3 hours)...
going to osaka it would be tight as you take a plane... |
