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.
K-ETA has been officially implemented as of September 1, 2021 by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Korea.
There have been some changes related to K-ETA as the number of countries available for K-ETA application is increased to 112 from 104 from November 1, 2022.
■ 5 countries (Micronesia, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Kiribati and Tonga) that are
currently unable to apply for K-ETA can apply from 9:00 AM on October 31, 2022. 9:00(KST) via our K-ETA website.
❍ The applicant can confirm the results by official website, within 72 hours after completing the K-ETA application. However, in some case it may take 72 hours or more.
❍ Please note that the information entered cannot be modified once the application is submitted. Therefore you need to re-apply for K-ETA.
In addition, if the information on approved K-ETA does not match your passport, your entry to the Republic of Korea will be rejected.
Please make sure all information is filled in correctly before making a payment.

In principle, the multiple citizenship holders need to present their Korea
n passports for immigration inspection when they enter or exit the Republic of Korea.
If so, they do not need to apply for K-ETA.
And at the airline counter, you need to present both of the passports to get your boarding pass.
However, the airline might reject to issue the boarding pass for not having valid K-ETA if there is any discrepancy in personal information written on the passport bio page (such as name or date of birth) between Korean passport and U.S. passport or for any other reasons. So, please check this matter with the airline in advance.
If you do not have a valid Korean passport,
please apply for or renew your passport at a diplomatic mission of the Republic of Korea and enter the country with it. However, if you are not able to get it due to inevitable situations such as COVID-19,
you need to apply for K-ETA and enter the country with your U.S. passport.

you need to submit the documents requested by the department in charge,
such as certificate of business registration,
a copy of the passport bio page of the foreign invitee, and the list of the applicants.

to the department in charge (Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy,

Second,
the department in charge verifies the entry purpose of the applicant
as ‘important business purpose (priority entry persons)’, the department
in charge sends the K-ETA application to the Ministry of Justice via the official letter.
