K-ETA Policy Highlights from the First 8 Months, and Detailed Information for Users
-
January 2021 marks the first 8-month anniversary of the Republic of Korea’s Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) implementation.

Following trial operation from 3 May 2021 to full operation since 1 September 2021, Korea has become the 5th country in the world to carry out the ETA policy, not to mention the first to be implemented in Asia. Due to COVID-19, K-ETA is currently applied to 50 countries (refer to attachment 1).
-
With K-ETA, nationals of 112 countries which were previously eligible to enter Korea visa free are required to apply online (or via mobile app) for a K-ETA by submitting information before traveling to Korea.
