Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Confirm your eligibility window

2

Prepare your border documents

Carry a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond entry, a confirmed return or onward ticket, hotel reservation or host address, and proof of funds. Immigration may ask for any of these on arrival.

Clear immigration on arrival

Present your passport at the South Korea border, answer routine questions about purpose and duration of your visit, and collect your entry stamp. The process is normally fast for visa-free nationalities.
