South Korea K-ETA

Covered visa-free entrants need K-ETA unless exempt. People aged 17 or below or 65 or above are exempt; selected nationalities also have a temporary exemption. Use the official country check.

KRW 10,000 plus the separate online payment charge where applicable.

Normally valid for 3 years or until passport expiry if sooner. The permitted stay depends on the underlying entry category.

Apply on the official K-ETA portal or official app. Check exemption first; exempt travellers can apply voluntarily for the associated arrival-card benefit.
