Trend Pulse

Starting in March, passport issuance fees will increase. The increase is in response to increased manufacturing costs due to the introduction of the new generation of e-passports, and will increase the fee for all passport types by 2,000 won. The cost of issuing a passport consists of the issuance fee and the international exchange contribution. For the 10-year multiple passport, the international exchange contribution of 12,000 won will remain the same, and only the issuance fee will increase. As a result, the total cost of a 10-year multiple passport will be KRW 52,000 for 58 pages and KRW 49,000 for 26 pages. Single passports, emergency passports, and travel documents will also increase by 2,000 won, so it's a good idea to check the cost in advance if you're planning to travel abroad. The increased fees apply to both new and renewed passports. #passportfeeincrease #passportfee2000won #passportfee2026 #e-passport #e-passportfee #10yearmultiplepassport #passportfee #nextgeneratione-passport #preparationfortravelingabroad
