To ensure a smooth entry into the Republic of Korea, kindly note that a valid passport with a minimum validity of six months and a Korean Visa are required. For more precise and up-to-date information, we kindly recommend contacting your local Korean Embassy to inquire about the necessary documents for visa issuance. It is highly advisable to initiate the visa application process at least one month prior to your scheduled departure to allow sufficient time for processing.

Please be informed that nationals of countries or regions with which Korea has established a visa waiver agreement may enter without a visa for a duration of either 30 or 90 days. For detailed information regarding visa issuance, we kindly suggest visiting the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea.

If you are planning to visit Korea and are eligible for visa-free entry, please be aware of the new requirement for K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization). Starting from Sep 01, 2021, nationals from 112 countries/regions must obtain K-ETA approval before their departure to Korea.

K-ETA authorization allows for multiple trips within a three-year period or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. Please note that there is an application fee of 10,300 KRW per person, including additional fees. The assessment process may take more than 72 hours depending on the circumstances. For detailed information and to apply for K-ETA, please visit the provided link below.
* The permit that was previously issued is valid for a period of two years. (Please refer to the website for detailed information.)
