The qualifying transaction amount starts at 15,000 won per receipt. An immediate-refund transaction must be under 1,000,000 won, and the visitor's combined eligible purchases during the stay must not exceed 5,000,000 won. The retailer must participate in the eligible tax-refund system and complete the required identity verification.
