The Korean government has decided to extend the temporary K-ETA exemption period until December 31, 2026. The K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) is an online entry authorization normally required for nationals of visa-free countries or regions entering Korea. With this extension, nationals of countries or regions that are exempt from visa requirements may enter Korea without applying for a K-ETA until December 31, 2026. The list of eligible countries and regions is available on the official K-ETA website.
However, nationals of countries or regions eligible for the exemption may still choose to apply for a K-ETA in order to receive the benefits associated with K-ETA approval, such as exemption from completing an arrival card upon entry into the Republic of Korea. In such cases, the standard application fee will apply. Previously issued K-ETA approvals remain valid until their respective expiration dates, and application fees are non-refundable.
