YES! Schools will offer round-trip airfare, either in the form of prepayment or a reimbursement to the teacher after arrival. For those in Korea when hired, schools typically pay the airfare (but not other expenses) for the visa run.

SMOE: Pay airfare upfront

EPIK: Reimburse 2.6MIL yearly ( 1.3MIL at start and at end of the contract )

GEPIK: Reimburse airfare

Institutes: Upfront or reimbursement ( depends on the employer )

Some schools may want to deduct a housing deposit from initial paychecks. This money should be returned at the end of your contract, less any bills or assessment for damage. (The legality of these deductions is a frequent point of dispute; they appear to be legal if written into the contract.)
