South Korea: For a limited time until the end of August, Japan tourists can enter Korea without a visa.

Travelers from Japan can enter Korea without a visa to travel around Korea for sightseeing

Seoul, South Korea, August 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) ) Allows foreigners to visit Korea for vacations, business meetings, and other short-term sightseeing. The visa is valid for 2 years and you can go to Korea many times during that period. This is a system to check whether you can enter

Korea without a visa before traveling. The Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) can improve the visitor experience by making the border safer and more efficient.

The Director of the Seoul Culture, Sports and Tourism Department said, "Although it is only August this month, we will do our best so that foreign tourists visiting Seoul can fully enjoy the charms such as food, night view, and beauty." He added, "With the enactment of the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (K-ETA) in September last year, even if you can enter South Korea without a visa, you must visit the K-ETA website or mobile app at least 72 hours before boarding to apply and obtain a travel permit."

Compared to traditional methods, electronic travel authorization is a more convenient and easier way to enter the country. The great advantage of an electronic travel authorization is that you can apply for the traveler, family and friends at once. If the destination is the same, there is no need to apply for entry into Korea individually. In addition, the application procedure on this site is much simpler than a normal online application using a computer or mobile device. Before submitting your e-Visa application, you may amend and reapply for it. In general, please note that if there are more than 3 errors in the application, you will not be allowed to reapply for 6 months.


There was a problem with a traveler at the airport. The ETA number on my Korean passport was written O (O) instead of 0 (zero), so I could not board. The traveler had to reapply for a K-ETA and book another flight.

The Korea ETA supports travelers to be approved by the ETA and to point out any deficiencies in their applications. Korea ETA features user-friendly worldwide checkout, internet and support. Before submitting the application, we will ensure that all applicants have their passports attached and correct any errors that may cause disapproval. Even if an obscure photograph or passport is attached, K-ETA will work hard to improve any issues with your application and ensure that it is approved once and for all.

Travellers to South Korea will usually be notified of the results of their Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) application within 24 hours to a few days, depending on the circumstances.

Simply enter your K-ETA receipt number and email to check the progress of your application.


Currently, 112 countries, including New Zealand, Germany, Singapore and the United States, can visit South Korea without a visa. People from these countries are required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) authorization before traveling to South Korea.
