First time
Welcome to Australia.
AussieGuides is a bilingual guide for Korean visitors to Sydney and NSW. Whether you're here for a holiday, a working holiday, or your first week in Australia — this is the site that explains the things your travel guide doesn't.
What to know before you land
- 💳
Visa and entry
Check your visa type before booking. Tourist visas can't work. Working Holiday Makers have 12-month restrictions on the same employer.
- 💰
Money basics
AUD only. Cards work everywhere — but get an Opal card for public transport. Tipping is not expected.
- ☀️
Sun is serious
Australia has the highest UV rate in the world. Slip, slop, slap — even on cloudy days. SPF 50+ every day.
- 📱
SIM and connectivity
Grab an eSIM before you leave, or buy a prepaid SIM at the airport (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone). Data is cheap here.
- 🗺️
Getting around
Get the TripView app. Trains run on time. Opal covers trains, buses, ferries, and light rail. No need for a car in Sydney.
