Planning a trip to South Korea? This guide explains who can enter Korea visa-free, how long visitors can stay, when K-ETA may be required, and what documents travellers should prepare before departure. It is designed for tourists who want a clear, simple overview of Korea’s visa-free entry rules before booking flights or arriving at the airport.
Many travellers can visit South Korea without applying for a traditional tourist visa, but the rules depend on your passport, length of stay, and whether K-ETA applies to your country.
