Family visa to South Korea

A family visa to South Korea is issued for those who are visiting their immediate family members who are Korean nationals for 90 days or less. If you wish to visit your immediate family member who holds an Alien Registration Card in Korea, please refer to this link (click) instead. Nationals from countries eligible for Electronic Travel Authorisation may apply for K-ETA instead. If you are fully vaccinated in Singapore, you may apply for quarantine exemption.
