VISA Information
Do I need a Tourist Visa for South Korea?
Tourists from several countries can visit South Korea without a tourist visa. Citizens of the United States, Canada, the EU, and several other exempt nations can enter visa-free for a limited time. However, it is mandatory for tourists from most visa-free countries to apply for an electronic visitor visa waiver for Korea. Conveniently, the ETA application is 100% online. Before applying for a visa, foreigners should check whether they are eligible for the K-ETA. Holidaymakers who do not qualify for visa-free entry need to apply for a South Korea tourism visa. Visa applications are made through the Korean Embassy.
