The Busaner Korea Concierge
Simple pricing. Practical help in Korea.
The Busaner helps travelers, residents, and families handle practical tasks in Korea — bookings, Korean phone calls, local enquiries, and the things that are difficult to manage without Korean language or local access.
Travelers and residents tend to need help differently, so pricing is built around each — shown below.
Traveling in Korea
Help before you arrive — and while you're here.

Planning ahead? You can start using Travel Assist before you arrive in Korea — for reservations, Korean calls, and other practical preparation.
Use your time in 10-minute increments across different requests. Each new request starts with a 10-minute minimum. Passive waiting for a reply does not use your balance.
Your remaining time is valid for 60 days from the first request we start working on.
Used for things like: Korean phone calls · restaurant reservations · booking help · ticket problems · lost property · checking availability · contacting a local business · unexpected local problems
For more than a few requests
Trip Concierge
If you'd rather hand us the whole list than send requests one at a time, we can plan and manage it as a single project — reservations, timing, and the coordination between them.
Multiple reservations · KTX and transport · event or show tickets · time-sensitive booking releases · provider research · itinerary coordination
Living in Korea
For the things that keep coming up.
One Ticket covers one clearly defined everyday request within the normal scope of remote support — not one phone call or a fixed block of minutes.
A repair visit · a clinic appointment · a Korean-only reservation · contacting a local business · a lost-item search — each is one Ticket, handled by a real person, not AI. If a request becomes unusually complex, requires on-site support, or develops into a separate objective, we'll confirm an additional Ticket or custom quote first.
In-person & on-site
When you need someone there.
In-person accompaniment and more involved requests — quoted per case before any commitment.
Hospital & Medical
Hospital accompaniment, specialist-visit scheduling, and coordination around surgery or cosmetic procedures — working alongside the clinic's own medical team throughout.
Housing & Relocation
Property viewings (sale · jeonse · wolse) with partner agencies, landlord communication, and move-in coordination — with a partner agent or lawyer for contract review where needed.
Business & Registration
Business registration support and document translation, with accompaniment to government offices — working with partner lawyers and accountants where licensed expertise is needed.
Banking & Admin
Accompaniment and coordination for bank account setup, visa extensions, residence registration, and vehicle purchase paperwork.
Pet Care & Animal Support
Animal clinic referrals, pet registration, groomer and pet-sitter sourcing, pet-friendly housing, overseas travel certificates.
Education & Children
Nanny matching, school applications, after-school academies, tutor matching, sports and cultural experience classes for children.
Multi-visit projects are quoted separately. Nothing is booked or charged until you confirm.
A note on costs
Third-party costs — tickets, transport, deposits, admission, and purchases — are separate from our service fee. If we need to pay something on your behalf, the amount and payment arrangement will be confirmed with you first.
Corporate & Institutional Service
Ongoing local support for companies, schools, and organisations with foreign staff or visitors.
