K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization<\/em>) is an electronic alternative to the South Korean visa. The tool has been deployed by the country's authorities to control the influx of people at its borders. It is intended for nationals of countries with visa exemption who want to travel to South Korea. If you're a history buff, and in particular if you're interested in the history of South Korea, you could visit the DMZ. The only requirement is that you obtain a K-ETA permit.<\/p>\n

The DMZ in Korea: how do you get there?<\/h2>\n

The DMZ or Demilitarized Zone<\/em> is a kind of buffer zone dating from the 20th century that separates the two Korean states. This border zone was established in the aftermath of the Korean War to put distance between the two regions. The other reason for its establishment was to contain the possibility of further dissension. Considering this little jaunt into the past, you might wonder whether the demilitarised zone is safe.<\/p>\n

Note that a visit to the DMZ is safe and that access is permitted. However, the route is supervised. As the DMZ lies between the northern and southern parts of Korea, you will need a K-ETA to enter the country. This travel permit gives you the right to visit Korean territory for a maximum stay of 3 months.<\/p>\n

Book your trip to the DMZ and discover the remains of a defining period in the history of this people. Every effort has been made to revolutionise your view of the two sister regions.<\/p>\n
