Your first @ will be sitting next to you on the flight. Are you ready? Have you heard: The Ministry of Justice has decided to extend the temporary exemption period [of K-ETA] for 1 more year to stimulate the tourism industry in celebration of “Visit Korea Year (2023–2024)”. The exemption will be effective until December 31, 2025 (KST). Travelers from 67 countries can travel to South Korea without K-ETA until December 31, 2025 The K-ETA, introduced in September 2021, is an electronic travel authorization required for travelers from 112 short-stay visa-exempt countries in South Korea. It enables South Korean authorities to assess visitors prior to arrival, enhancing border security and improving the traveler experience. The K-ETA costs KRW 10,000 (approx. €7 / $7) and, once approved, is valid for three years for multiple tourist or business stays in South Korea. The length of stay, with or without K-ETA, varies according to nationality (90 days for Europeans and Americans, 6 months for Canadians). Visitors aged 17 and under, as well as those aged 65 and over, have been exempt from K-ETA since July 3, 2023.
