Do I need permits to film in Korea?

The permit process duration spans between two weeks and four weeks depending on where the project is located and how extensive the production activities are.
What are the best filming locations in Korea?
Korea offers diverse filming locations including Seoul's historic palaces and modern Gangnam district, Busan's beaches and Gamcheon Culture Village, Jeju's volcanic landscapes and tea fields, Incheon's Songdo smart city and Chinatown, and Gyeongju's UNESCO heritage sites.

How long does it take to get film permits in Korea?

Emergency permits require 1–2 weeks for processing but customers must pay extra fees for this service.
Can international productions bring their own equipment to Korea?
