What is Korea eTA?

Thinking about a trip to South Korea? The approved Korea ETA is a crucial document to obtain for eligible visitors prior to entering the country.

This online travel authorization, called the Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA), allows eligible foreign nationals to pre-register their travel and personal information before they leave.

Korea eTA Overview


The Korea ETA (stands for Korea Electronic Travel Authorization), also known as K-ETA is an electronic travel authorization for eligible foreign nationals who are permitted to enter South Korea for short-term visits without the need for a traditional visa.

Most travelers who require the Korea Electronic Travel Authorization must apply online before their date of journey, give their personal, passport and travel information to complete the application process. Upon approval, the authorization will be electronically linked to their passport and can be used for travel to South Korea if they meet the K-ETA entry requirements.

Travelers should clearly know that K-ETA is a pre-travel authorization designed to let travelers who do not require a visa to enter the country smoothly. Fees, exemptions, validities and K-ETA entry requirements may change. Applicants are encouraged to review the latest official Korean immigration guidelines prior to applying.

The Korea ETA is usually valid for 3 years from the date of approval and offers multiple entries to the Republic of Korea during this time period, as long as you continue to meet the applicable Korea ETA entry requirements.
