You need to spend at least 30,000 won to qualify for a VAT refund at Daiso.
Instant VAT refunds are available at checkout, either in cash or on your card.
If you don’t get the refund right away, bring your receipt and passport to the airport customs or refund counter on your departure day to claim up to 10% back.
