K-ETA, or Korea Electronic Travel Authorization, is a mandatory requirement to enter Korea for visitors from visa-free countries. Currently, K-ETA is applicable to citizens from 112 countries, which consist of 66 visa-free and 46 visa-waiver countries. Visitors from those countries must have a K-ETA issued before getting on the airplane or ship. K-ETA can be applied via official website or mobile application.
