Visa Information

Visa or a K-ETA for South Korea Entry Requirements

South Korea has implemented an electronic travel authorization system known as K-ETA, which serves as an equivalent to a visa for eligible individuals seeking a visa-free visit. To determine whether your country is included in South Korea’s visa-waiver agreement, consult the relevant sources. This authorization permits a maximum stay of a certain number of days per nationality and remains valid for up to 2 years.

If you are ineligible for this authorization, you will need to apply for a visa, which may be done online (if applicable). Alternatively, you can visit the nearest South Korean consulate or diplomatic office to obtain one.

If you would like to request a letter of invitation from our hosts for a visa application, please email [email protected], detailing the following information in your request:

• Salutation (examples – Mr., Ms., Dr.)
• First/Given Name
• Last/Family Name
• Passport #
• Date of Birth (please spell out month)
• Country of Nationality
• Mailing Address
• Dates of arrival and departure

All letters will be sent as a PDF file via email. Hard copy of the invitation will not be sent.
