  • Travel regulations and restrictions are subject to change, sometimes with little notice. You should review the information available on your nearest Korean Embassy or Consulate’s webpage before traveling.

Safety and Security

Public Demonstrations:  Demonstrations and rallies are common in South Korea, particularly near the U.S. Embassy, Seoul City Hall, and areas surrounding military installations. You should avoid areas where demonstrations are taking place and exercise caution in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or rallies. Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence.

North Korea (The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK):  An armistice agreement, monitored by the United Nations, has maintained general peace on the Korean peninsula since 1953. Tensions occasionally flare up because of provocative acts by North Korea, including ballistic missile and nuclear tests and limited armed incursions into ROK-held territory. Some provocations have escalated into geographically limited skirmishes. South Korea routinely conducts military training exercises and civil defense drills. North Korea often issues strongly-worded and threatening messages, frequently in connection with these exercises. Please see our  Fact Sheet on North Korea .

Weather-related Events:  Heavy rains and flooding may occur during the June - August monsoon season or the May - November typhoon season. See general information about natural disaster preparedness at the U.S.  Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)  website.

Enroll in the  Smart Traveler Enrollment Program  ( STEP ):  To receive security messages by email and make it easier to locate you in an emergency, register in STEP. 

If the Embassy becomes aware of any specific and credible threat to the safety and security of U.S. citizens, we will inform you through our website, social media, and email.

Crime:  For most visitors, South Korea remains a very safe country. Common crimes occur more frequently in major metropolitan areas, tourist sites, and crowded markets.

  • Take routine safety precautions.
  • Pay attention to your surroundings.
  • Report any concerns to local police.

Violent crime is not common; however, remain vigilant:

  • Exercise caution in crowded entertainment, nightlife, and shopping districts.
  • If traveling at night, consider traveling in groups.
  • Use legitimate taxis or public transportation only.

Victims of Crime:  Call 112 for emergency assistance or to report a crime to local authorities. Call 02-397-4114 to contact the U.S. Embassy. We can:

  • Help you find appropriate medical care;
  • Assist you in reporting a crime to police;
  • Contact relatives or friends on your behalf;
  • Explain Korean judicial procedures in general terms;
  • Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution;
  • Help you find accommodations and flight arrangements to the United States;
  • Replace a lost or stolen passport.

Sexual Assault:   The Embassy regularly receives reports of sexual assault from U.S. citizens. Most cases involved young women assaulted by acquaintances they met on social media, dating, or messaging apps. Alcohol is often involved, and Korea’s low overall crime can create a false sense of security.  Specialized hospital units and police are available in South Korea to assist victims, however services in English and responsiveness to the crime are not always consistent. In general, sex crimes are not punished as harshly in South Korea as in the United States and the road to prosecution is a challenging one for victims.

Domestic Violence:  Victim’s assistance resources or battered women’s shelters exist in Seoul and other urban areas but may be limited in rural areas. Most are government administered and require a police referral. Call 112 for emergency assistance or 1366 to reach Korea’s 24-hour domestic violence hotline. Victims may also contact the Embassy, tel. (+82) 2-397-4114.

Lost or Stolen Passports:  If your passport is stolen, file a report at the nearest police station.

Don't buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if widely available.  It is against South Korean law to purchase these goods and against U.S. law to bring them into the United States. The  Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Division in the U.S. Department of Justice  has more information.

Avoid fraud and scams:  See  Department of State  and  FBI  websites for more information.

Tourism:  The tourism industry is generally regulated and rules with regard to best practices and safety inspections are regularly enforced. Hazardous areas/activities are identified with appropriate signage and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is widely available throughout the country. Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more information on  insurance providers for overseas coverage .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties:  While in Korea, you are subject to local laws. If you violate Korean laws, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Be aware that:

  • Immigration violations can lead to arrest, fines, and deportation.
  • There is little tolerance for illegal drugs.
  • If you mail illegal drugs to/ from Korea, you will be prosecuted.
  • Commercial disputes may lead to criminal charges being filed under local laws.

Be aware that some crimes are prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the  Department of Justice  website.

Arrest Notification:  If you are arrested or detained, ask officials to notify the Embassy. See our  webpage  for further information.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

Dual Nationality and Military Conscription:  Dual national males (including U.S. service members) may be subject to compulsory military service. If you have family ties to South Korea, consult the nearest Korean Embassy or Consulate or the  Korean Military Manpower Administration  regarding potential citizenship obligations  before entering South Korea .

Passport Seizures and Exit Bans:  If you are involved in a criminal investigation or commercial dispute, authorities may seize your passport and/or block your departure. While we may reissue a passport, we cannot lift an exit ban.

Exit Permits:  Exit permits are not generally required. However, if a parent requests a travel restriction on his/her child, Korean authorities may prevent that child from departing even when traveling with the other parent. As of June 1, 2020, foreigners who are long-term residents of the ROK are required to obtain a re-entry permit four business days prior to departure from Korea. The permits are available online through an e-application at the  www.hikorea.go.kr  website.

International Child Abduction:  See our website for information related to the  prevention of international child abduction . 

Working in South Korea:  If working, including teaching or modeling, you must enter with the appropriate work visa. It is not possible to change your visa status without leaving the country. If you begin work without the appropriate visa, you may be arrested, fined, and/or deported. If you are working without a valid work permit and get into a contractual dispute with your employer, you have little legal recourse.

Students:  See our  Students Abroad  page and  FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers:  See our travel tips for  Women Travelers .

ROK National Security Law:  Authorities may detain, arrest, and imprison persons believed to have committed acts intended to endanger the “security of the state,” including statements deemed to praise the political system and/or officials of the DPRK. 

Customs Regulations: There is strict enforcement of regulations on importing and exporting items such as firearms, narcotics and prescription drugs, non-prescription health supplements, radio equipment, and gold. Importation of materials deemed to be obscene, subversive, or harmful to the public peace is also restricted.

  • Amphetamines are illegal in Korea. Do not bring amphetamines or other prescription narcotics into the country without obtaining advance permission in writing from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. See the  U.S. Embassy Seoul, Health Information page .
  • Traveling with Pets: See  Korea’s Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency  website.

See the  Korean Customs Regulations website for complete information.

LGBTI Travelers:  Consensual same-sex sexual activity is not criminalized. Korea is a conservative country in regards to LGBTI issues. However, there are an increasing number of LGBTI-oriented clubs, festivals and NGOs advocating for LGBTI issues. The ROK National Human Rights Commission Act prohibits discrimination against individuals because of their sexual orientation, but there are no laws specifying punishment for persons found to have discriminated on this basis. Same-sex marriages are not recognized. Korean citizens can legally change their gender identity.

See   our  LGBTI Travel Information  page and section 6 of the  Department of State's Human Rights report  for further details.

Mobility Issues:  Korean law mandates access to transportation, communication, and public buildings. Cross walks typically have audio and visual signals. Older buildings and streets are generally less accessible than modern ones. Metro cars and buses in Seoul offer priority seating for the disabled and most metro stations have elevators. Metro platforms include Korean Braille information. Contact individual bus companies and subway associations for specific information. Foreign residents are eligible for disability assistance from local ward offices; assistance varies by ward.

Quality of Care : Western-style medical facilities are available in most large cities. However, not all doctors and staff, are proficient in English. A  list of hospitals  and medical specialists who speak English is available on our website. For emergency ambulance service dial 119. Ambulance services are widely available. For information on medical evacuation from South Korea, please see the State Department’s brochure on  Air Ambulance/MedEvac/Medical Escort Providers . 

We do not pay medical bills.  Be aware that U.S. Medicare does not apply overseas. Verify your health insurance coverage before traveling overseas. See our webpage for information on  insurance providers for overseas coverage . In most cases, health care providers will require payment in advance of treatment or will not release a patient until hospital bills are paid. We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to include coverage for medical evacuation.

Medication:  Carry prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. Most prescription medications, except psychotropic types, can be obtained at Korean pharmacies (brand names often differ). Local pharmacies will require a prescription from a Korean doctor.

Update  vaccinations  recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

For further health information go to:

  • World Health Organization
  • U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC)

All You Need To Know About K-ETA – Korea Electronic Travel Authorization

KoreaTravelPost Editor

 13,422 total views,  1 views today

eta for travel to korea

K-ETA or the Korea Electronic Travel Authorization is now a travel essential document for people entering the Republic of Korea from a visa-exempt country.

South Korea has launched K-ETA, which is known as the Korea Electronic Travel Authorization system, to cover the travel of people coming into the country from September 1, 2021. Since most visa waivers for most countries were adjourned when the COVID-19 pandemic peaked in April 2020, this K-ETA form will be necessary for travel. People overseas planning to travel to Korea need to obtain electronic approval before entering the Republic of Korea by submitting related information online such as their travel information and details.

Visa-free abroad invitees need K-ETA approvals to obtain the boarding pass and to enter the Republic of Korea. The K-ETA will be effective for several trips over two years, and the application fee is 10,000 KRW/person. For K-ETA pass documentation, all you need is a valid passport, e-mail address, fee, and photo ID.

With this form, you can move around freely after submitting the arrival card, making the whole immigration process much more manageable.

Table of Contents

Is K-ETA Essential?

It is necessary for nationals of 66 visa-waiver countries and 46 designated visa-free entry countries whose strategy is to travel to the Republic of Korea. However, due to the pandemic, from September 1 onwards, all these people will need to apply for the authorization before travel. 

South Korea K-ETA Requirements

The process for the Priority entry applicants will use both previous visa issuance methods and K-ETA Application. The official K-ETA website i.e.,  www.k-eta.go.kr  available in languages such as Korean, English. You can also access it through the mobile app and apply 24 hours before traveling.

If you are planning for a group of travelers, a representative can apply up to 30 people, and the charges per person are KRW 10,000.

One such mandatory rule is to follow the Quarantine of 14 days for all overseas tourists to Korea.

Upon coming, the submission of the PCR Negative Test Result documentation is different from that submitted for visa application. All tourists need to get the test and carry the certificate before leaving for Korea. Those who do not present the report or present an invalid document will be denied entry into Korea. 

K-eta

A Brief Look at K-ETA

The Republic of Korea and 112 other countries have signed a visa-waiver agreement (Subject to change depending on the COVID-19 situation)

  • Application Instructions: 24 hours before departure, apply via the K-ETA homepage/mobile app ( www.k-eta.go.kr )
  • Cost: 10,000 KRW ($90.10) plus a separate fee (300 KRW)
  • Validity period: 2 years from the date of authorization (In case of changing important information such as passport information, you will have to re-apply)
  • Effective: September 1, 2021 ( Pilot operation: May 3, 2021–August 31, 2021 ).

Airline staff will ask you if you’ve prepared this before you depart. Make sure you take all the steps to ensure that you can get to Korea complication free. These answers will be the perfect cheat sheet for making sure you can get through the K-ETA screening process and into South Korea problem free!

K-ETA is a digital travel authorization that is required by any foreign visitors that do not require a visa. It needs to be obtained before entering the Republic of Korea. The purpose of travel should be tourism, visiting a family member, participating in events or meetings, or commercial business (excluding the pursuit of profit). It is mandatory for visa-free and visa-waiver countries. Anyone without a valid visa or K-ETA will not be allowed to board a plane to South Korea. This is meant to make immigration and customs a smoother process upon landing, streamlining the whole process. 

How long does it take to get K-ETA approved?

K-ETA is available for eligible people from countries that don’t require a visa to enter South Korea. It must be obtained before boarding a flight or ship and can take up to 72 hours to process. That means you should apply for it at least a month before your trip just to be safe but you could apply for it up to a few days before departure. 

On average, most people in our travel groups say they’ve received results within a day but it can take longer.

How long is K-ETA valid for?

It’s valid for 2 years from the date it is approved, but it actually doesn’t guarantee entry to the Republic of Korea.  Once you land, the immigration office at the airport will be the final decider on that verdict.  If it has not expired, you still have to apply for a new K-ETA if there are any changes to your personal information such as name, date of birth, or sex. The same is true for any changes to your passport which will be your lifeline abroad. You are also required to update any personal info on K-ETA if your Korean address, the purpose of entry, or contact information that was written on your approved application before entering Korea changes. You could be denied entry if your information does not match.

The items you will need are a valid passport, credit card (for paying the KRW10,000 fee), email address, and a recent profile photo (700 pixels or less) of yourself for uploading.  The results will show up in your email as well as be available on the website. You will also need to include the phone number of where you will be staying and the address. 

You can have a proxy fill out the application as well as apply for up to 30 people at once. 

Steps to fill in the K-ETA form

Put in your continent, and nationality and agree to all the questions they give you. You will then need to type in your passport number and personal email address. Once you have completed that, you will be required to upload either a picture of your passport identification page or input the information manually. It is advised that if you take the photo with your phone, you will need to crop it since the image will be too large.

Next, you will select an option in the “Purpose of entry” section. They will include things like tourism, conference, disease treatment, sports game, etc. The translation is slightly off, but you should have no problem selecting the choice that best fits your reasons for travel.

After that, you will need to write in your postal code as it pertains to your Korean address. It will search for your address as you type, so once you make sure it displays the exact one that you will be residing at, click it and move on. For the next part, they will once again ask for a photo. You’ll need to resize it if you take it on your phone once again due to the size.

Lastly, you will be presented with a confirmation page where you confirm that all your information has been imputed accurately. 

K-ETA: travel to Korea

The payment page is your last stop. All you need to do is input your card number and date before pressing the large red button at the bottom. Then boom! Your application is complete and good to go!

How much does the K-ETA Cost?

The cost is 10,000 KRW which is equivalent to $7.28 USD. However, there are $9-10additinal fees that are excluded from the base price. It is also important to know that you are giving money to the actual K-ETA website and not a third party that supposedly moves through them since there are many fake sites that have been impersonating K-ETA. They also aren’t responsible for any money you lost to these scam websites. If you pay through an eligible third-party site that charges extra fees for applying, you will not be reimbursed. That’s why you should definitely apply on the K-ETA official website. 

For applying for K-ETA make sure to go through this official site and go to “ Apply for K-ETA ” to begin your application!

There are unofficial sites out there that say they are K-ETA and charge more. These are not official sites. You should go through the official South Korean K-ETA website linked above.

Do you know if i can be denied K-eta if i have bioolar disorder

Hallie Bradley

You don’t need to input medical information from what I know. I haven’t had to do the K-ETA as a resident. But it’s just the same entrance form they used to have you fill out on airplanes before you’d arrive in another country. It just wants you basic information, name, passport number, address upon arrival, not medical info.

Barbara D Scott

I will be traveling to Korea on a cruise ship which is where we will be staying overnight. The K-ETA requires a local phone number and address and will not take the name of the ship. How do we fill out this section of the form?

That’s a new one… if you know where you’re docking, perhaps cruise ships are requested to use the dock address and their information for the K-ETA. I would guess that your cruise ship company would know as they’re required to do it as well.

Devira Chartrand

I am hoping to travel to Korea but am wondering if it is hard as a single older person to travel in the country?

It’s not hard at all to travel as a solo person in Korea. The only issue that you might have is when it comes to eating. Some places are really built for group dining. For example, on Jeju Island, a lot of BBQ restaurants won’t serve just one person. But, in Seoul, it’s a lot easier. Hope that helps.

Starting in September, all U.S. citizens visiting South Korea will be required to complete an Electronic Travel Authorization form to get approval before traveling, the country's Ministry of Justice announced earlier this year.

The Korean government first launched the K-ETA as a pilot program in April to provide visa-free entry for international visitors to the Republic of Korea, according to a press release from the Korean Embassy in the U.S. The United States is one of 21 countries currently with designated visa-free entry.

For more TPG news delivered each morning to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter .

U.S citizens are able to spend up to 90 days in the country as a tourist, for business or to visit family.

U.S. citizens are required to apply for the K-ETA through the Republic of Korea's ETA website or the mobile app at least 24 hours before departing for South Korea. Although the fee is waived, for now, the K-ETA will cost $8.75 come September and is valid for two years. You can expect to hear back regarding the status of your application via email, also within 24 hours.

K-ETA application steps 

The first step involves agreeing to the terms and conditions, which is standard for most travel authorization forms and requires your consent to the use of personal and sensitive information, including your passport number.

eta for travel to korea

Next, you will provide your passport number and email address, to which your application information will be sent. Unless you are traveling for work, I would suggest using a personal email address that you check often.

eta for travel to korea

The third step will ask you to upload a copy of your passport and enter corresponding information.

You'll see below that the U.S. pops up as a country currently designated as having visa-free entry. Note that if there are any issues with your application, you may still be prompted to contact the Korean Embassy in the U.S . for consular/visa services, which we will discuss later.

eta for travel to korea

Step four asks for additional identifying information, along with the address and contact number of where you will be staying in Korea.

eta for travel to korea

This step also asks you to upload a photo, similar to what's required to obtain a U.S. passport (i.e., no smiling), and also specifies photo size restrictions. It took me several minutes to size my photo down to fit. To avoid any headaches with sizing, I would recommend getting your photo taken as if you were applying for a passport. I got mine taken in June for my passport renewal (read the ongoing saga ) at CVS for $14.99.

If you click "Next," and it prompts you to step five, you can safely assume that your photo has been uploaded correctly and meets all size requirements.

eta for travel to korea

The final step will ask you to double-check that all of the info you've submitted is correct.

eta for travel to korea

For those applying from now through August, please note that K-ETAs are being issued for free as part of the K-ETA pilot program. This means that once you press "Finish," your application will be submitted for review. For the purposes of this story, I did not actually intend to submit an application as I do not currently have travel plans to South Korea. I incorrectly assumed that after hitting "Finish," I would be directed to step six before actually submitting.

At this point, I am admittedly a bit panicked, as I have inadvertently submitted false information to a foreign government. I immediately email the powers that be to explain my error by submitting a question through the website's " Ask Us " feature.

eta for travel to korea

So, if and when I go to South Korea in the future (here's looking at you, boss), I will simply need to reapply for a K-ETA. Phew!

Bottom line 

The K-ETA is not only necessary to enter South Korea at this time, but it will also exempt you from submitting arrival cards necessary for immigration. Please note that the K-ETA does not exclude travelers from current pre-travel testing requirements. Per the U.S. Embassy in South Korea , proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of departure is still required for all inbound travelers, including those who have been vaccinated, in addition to a mandatory 14-day quarantine upon entry for most visitors. You can apply for a quarantine exemption based on certain eligibility requirements, including visiting family or attending a funeral.

Dodgers Travel Roster Details For South Korea & Seoul Series

T he Los Angeles Dodgers made their second round of Spring Training cuts that brought the total number of players in big league camp down to 41.

Among those sent to Minor League camp were Matt Gage, Andy Lipcius, Kevin Gowdy, Elieser Hernández, Dalton Rushing, Trey Sweeney, Austin Gauthier, Drew Avans, José Ramos and Ryan Ward.

The Dodgers are scheduled to play their final Cactus League game on Wednesday and will need to make additional cuts ahead of traveling to South Korea for the Seoul Series from March 20-21. “Wednesday at some point we’ve got to identify 31 players to bring with us,” manager Dave Roberts said.

“And at that point in time, you get to choose your 29 (for active roster and taxi squad). Twenty-six will be active for the first two games, the real games.”

The Dodgers will be permitted to bring 31 players to South Korea, but only 26 can be active for their two-game series against the San Diego Padres, with another three making up their taxi squad.

Prior to the Seoul Series, the Dodgers will play two exhibition games against the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO League and Korean national team from March 17-18.

After facing the Padres in South Korea, the Dodgers will return to Southern California for their annual exhibition Freeway Series against the Los Angeles Angels to close out Spring Training.

L.A. will then resume their 2024 regular season with a seven-game homestand against the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants.

Expected Dodgers roster cuts

As the Dodgers look to further trim their Spring Training roster by Wednesday, Emmet Sheehan, Brusdar Graterol and James Paxton are among the players who will not be with the team.

Sheehan is going to begin the 2024 season on the 15-day injured list due to being slowed by right shoulder soreness last month and Graterol has been ruled out from pitching in the Seoul Series because of hip tightness and shoulder discomfort. Paxton is healthy but not making the trip as he won’t be throwing in the series.

Other non-roster players who will likely be moved off the Dodgers Spring Training roster include Nabil Crismatt, T.J. McFarland, Chris Okey, Jonathan Araúz and Kevin Padlo.

Max Muncy Will Join Dodgers on Flight to Korea Despite Illness

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy will be traveling with the team to South Korea for the Seoul Series. Despite dealing with a virus that caused him to lose 10 pounds, Muncy will be joining the team on their Korea trip, via SportsNet LA’s David Vassegh.

Max Muncy will be on #Dodgers charter to South Korea. Muncy told me he lost 10 pounds fighting a gnarly virus (Not COVID) in the last week. (function (d, s, n) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; js = d.createElement(s); js.className = n; js.src = "//player.ex.co/player/44bcfe49-e668-4da2-95b2-ae7095c398b3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'exco-player')); — David Vassegh (@THEREAL_DV) March 13, 2024

This illness has kept Muncy out of the team’s Cactus League lineup since the Dodgers took on the Texas Rangers last Saturday. Muncy has been away from the team to recover during this time.

It’s been a rough Spring Training for Muncy, who dealt with this illness on top of previously dealing with a hand issue after he was taken out of a Cactus League game early when he was struck by a pitch. Though the x-rays came back negative and Muncy returned, he’s certainly faced a couple obstacles as he prepares for the 2024 season.

In Korea, the Dodgers will have four total games during their trip, with two exhibition games and two regular season games against the San Diego Padres on March 20 and March 21.

Since Muncy has been out since Saturday, he hasn’t gotten much time to play at third base with Mookie Betts now at shortstop after Betts and Gavin Lux swapped spots in the infield. With Betts now aiding Muncy on the left side of the defense, hopefully this trip will give the two players time to work on their chemistry with Betts in a new spot.
