In any case I've arrived in South Korea a few times without an onward ticket, both by plane and by ferry, and I've never been questioned on it so far. I have been asked to show an onward ticket when checking in for a flight from Australia to Malaysia on AirAsia and for a flight from Singapore to Taiwan on Scoot though. | |

The problem is the airline you fly there with often will just blanket-refuse you boarding (Aerolineas Argentinas did this to me) if you have a one-way ticket, even if you have a ton of cash on hand/credit card. I had to prove I had an onward ticket. | |
