K-ETA provides information to enjoy shopping and cultural life in Korea.
The K-ETA system began operation on September 1, 2019, and aims to replace the existing immigration screening system for overseas Koreans. If you use the K-ETA system, you can reduce unnecessary waiting time by reducing the process of preparing documents such as passports, visas, and immigration documents that were required for screening at the existing immigration checkpoint, and you can apply and get approval through the Internet. The inconvenient application process is also simplified.Easy online application - To apply for K-ETA, all you need is a computer or smartphone with an internet connection. Applicants can fill out and submit the application form, which saves unnecessary hassle. Previously, most travelers had to fill out an application form and go to the branch office, which was very cumbersome.
