Check entry information close to departure

Entry requirements can change. Start with VISITKOREA’s official guidance and follow its links to the responsible government service for your nationality and travel date.

At this review, the Korea Tourism Organization says the temporary K-ETA exemption for travelers from designated countries and regions has been extended through December 31, 2026. Eligibility depends on the traveler and current rules, so verify your own status on the official service shortly before departure.

The Ministry of Justice e-Arrival Card service says eligible travelers can submit the card free of charge within three days before arrival. Use its Navigator to check whether you need to file, and do not treat an e-Arrival Card rule as a K-ETA or visa decision.

Use public transport sources for the last mile

Compare the airport railroad, buses and taxis on the airport website, then confirm the Seoul portion of the route with the city’s English public-transport guide.

Keep emergency information available

Save the official emergency and multilingual travel-support information before arrival. Do not rely only on a booking platform or social post for urgent help.
