Many nationalities do not need a K-ETA right now. Korea's Ministry of Justice has temporarily waived it until 31 December 2026 for 24 passports and regions: the US (incl. Guam), Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden. We do not sell the K-ETA for those passports: complete the free e-Arrival Card (e-arrivalcard.go.kr) instead.

The Korean government says it has designated no application agents or agencies for the K-ETA and warns about sites that overcharge. VisaPass is an independent assistance service, not affiliated with the Korean government. You can apply directly at www.k-eta.go.kr for the KRW 10,000 government fee (about USD 7).
