Official source: K-ETA › · Last verified 25 June 2026.
The K-ETA is a streamlined online authorisation that replaces the need for a visa for eligible short-stay visitors. You apply on the official portal, pay a small fee, and receive approval electronically before you fly. Periodic K-ETA exemptions and changes are announced, so check the latest status.
An eTA route like Korea's sits between fully visa-free and a full visa — convenient, online, and quick.
Apply for the K-ETA at least 72 hours before departure on the official portal, using a recent photo and your accommodation details. Approval is usually quick and valid for multiple trips over its term. Periodic temporary K-ETA exemptions are announced for certain nationalities, so check whether any current waiver applies to you before paying.
