1. Documents required in case of air ticket purchase
1) Purchase through travel agency: The original copy of the travel agency's invoice, the copy of travel agency's bankbook, the copy of agency's business registration certificate, boarding pass, air ticket, the copy of passport, and air schedule in the case of a conference held in the US or Europe
2) ) Purchase through credit card (only payments via BK card are covered.): Credit card payment receipt, the original copy of invoice, boarding pass, air ticket, the copy of passport, and air schedule in the case of conference held in the US or Europe
2. Matters related to registration receipt
In principle, payments via BK card are covered. However, if it is unavoidable to pay the registration fee in cash, the candidate should apply for the payment of amount calculated in the Korean won in terms of the foreign exchange rate of the day of registration. (Attach the list of foreign exchange rates on the day of registration.)
3. Foreign exchange calculation rule
Choose one of foreign exchange rates applied during the official conference period and convert the payment in foreign currency into the Korean won. Write the calculation formula in the field for calculation detail of the application form or the report on outcome from participation.
e.g.) Official conference period: 2 ~ 5 October 2002
Actual period of staying: 1 ~ 6 October 2002
In this case, choose one of foreign exchange rates applied in 2 ~ 5 October 2002. Calculate the stay expense based on the policy on travel expenses. Keep in mind that lodging days should be counted one day less than days of daily expense/ dining expense and the stay expense covers only one day each before and after the conference period. 4. Information to be attached to the list of foreign exchange rates (stay expense, registration fee)
The standard list of foreign exchange rates by time is not acceptable as it is often used for arbitrary calculation for stay expense and registration fee). Therefore, attach the list of foreign exchange rates for public disclosure. (Don't forget to write the stay expense and the registration fee at the right top of the list.)
5. Information on receipt attachment
Be careful to attach receipts sheet by sheet so that one sheet is overlapped on top of another. Check all copies before submission to make sure that the contents on copies, especially the amount of money, are well recognizable.
6. Attachment of the copy of passport : Submit the copy of passport showing necessary information including the photo, the dates of entry/ departure, and the travel destination.
7. Other documents to be attached : Attach the invitation letter and the pamphlet containing information such as the date, the country, and the academic society.
