Korea Electronic Travel Authorization(K ETA) is a system that allows foreigners who desire to visit Korea for the purpose of traveling & sightseeing, visiting relatives, attending different events or meetings, or doing commercial activities (but not for profit) to apply for K- ETA online.
Nations that have signed visa waiver treaties and countries that allow access without a visa are eligible to apply for Korea ETA.
Currently, 112 countries, including New Zealand, Germany, Singapore, and the United States, have visa-free or visa-exempt travel to Korea. Visitors from these countries must apply for Korea ETA before traveling to Korea.
Please review the ETA application conditions as well as the countries that have signed the Visa Waiver Agreement and those that enable visa-free entrance into South Korea before utilizing this service.
Travelers must apply at least 72 hours before flying to South Korea. The issued K-ETA is valid for 2 years, and the immigration form is exempted upon entry, allowing you to conveniently go through immigration. K-ETA allows foreigners to visit Korea for tourism, business meetings, and other short-term visits.

Ministry of Justice informed via official letter on March 25, 2022 that applicants need to apply for K-ETA
at least 72 hours prior to boarding the flight as the workload is expected to be increased due to the expansion of the number of countries available for K-ETA application.
However, due to an unexpected increase of applications, the result may not be notified within 72 hours.
Therefore, please apply for the K-ETA with plenty of time in advance.
※ Because of COVID-19, the assessment of K-ETA may be strengthened.
Therefore, it is recommended to apply for K-ETA closer to the expected arrival date (1-2 months prior to expected date of entry)
rather than applying several months in advance.
