Great news for travelers! Previously, foreign credit card holders in Korea could only purchase tickets for the SRT high-speed train at the station or from travel agencies. As of June 2023, SRT has an updated website that now accepts foreign cards such as VISA, MasterCard, and JCB for ticket purchases. This new feature frees foreigners from the struggles of booking SRT tickets in advance! Please note the website is optimized for booking via web app on a computer, not for mobile. Also, the mobile app is not yet available in English. Nevertheless, the online booking system is easily accessible and saves you time compared to visiting the station or a travel agency. Enjoy the convenience of this service and have a pleasant journey!

Tips for buying SRT standing ticket
Once all the seat tickets are sold out, SRT provides standing tickets that can be purchased on-site. However, even standing tickets are limited, and it is common for tickets to be sold out in advance during weekends or peak seasons. To secure your travel, it is strongly recommended to buy your SRT tickets in advance, especially if you’re traveling during a busy time. You can book a standing ticket for your trip at any SRT station, regardless of your departure and destination.
