K-ETA only covers activities allowed under C-3 visa such as tourism, business meetings, discussions, conferences, short-term study with stay below 90 days, family visit etc. If your purpose of the visit is not covered under K-ETA or your nationality is not eligible for K-ETA, please apply for an appropriate visa.

        • Please note: An additional 5% will be added to the total amount as this is what we are being charged by the banks for transactions.

        • The approved ETA will be sent to the email address you provided when submitting the form. Make sure your email address is spelt correctly to avoid mishaps in receiving your visa due to a trivial mistake.
        • In case of delays or refusal of a visa due to reasons beyond our control or due to an incorrectly filled application form, the amount paid is not refundable, as the fee charged is for processing of the application and is not based on the outcome of the application.
        • K-ETA approval does not guarantee entry to the Republic of Korea. The final determination of a traveller’s entry will be made by the immigration official during entry immigration inspection.
        • K-ETA approval will be refused or cancelled in any case of submitting false or inaccurate information on the K-ETA application, and that person may be subject to penalties or entry restrictions according to relevant Korean laws.
        • Even if your K-ETA has not expired, you are required to apply for a new K-ETA if there are any changes to your information, such as name, sex, date of birth, nationality, passport information (passport number, passport expiration date), infectious disease or criminal record. Additionally, if you need assistance with academic tasks, you can consider the option of bachelorarbeit schreiben lassen to ensure the quality and success of your bachelor’s thesis.
        • Those with K-ETA approval can go through entry immigration more conveniently, as they will be exempted from submitting the arrival card upon entry.
