From 1 January 2025, South Korea will mark a turning point in its immigration policy by reinstating the requirement for an electronic travel authorisation, known as the K-ETA, for nationals of 67 countries and territories. The return of the K-ETA, which has been temporarily suspended since April 2023 as part of the \"Visit Korea Year 2023-2024\" programme, has raised expectations and questions among travellers. The aim of this scheme is not only to strengthen border security, but also to simplify entry to South Korea, while guaranteeing tighter control over migratory flows. The requirements to be met, the steps to be taken and the implications of this reintroduction are all aspects that future visitors will need to take into account if they are to make the most of their stay in South Korea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From 1 January 2025, the South Korea<\/strong> will reinstate the requirement for an electronic travel authorisation, known as the K-ETA<\/strong>for travellers from 67 countries and territories. This new requirement puts an end to the temporary exemption previously granted to nationals of these nations. Against a backdrop of touristic recovery, this move aims to strengthen the security and effectiveness of border controls while facilitating immigration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is K-ETA?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Le K-ETA<\/strong> or Korea Electronic Travel Authorization<\/em>is an electronic travel authorisation system set up by the South Korea<\/strong> on 1 September 2021. The aim of this initiative is to enable the South Korean authorities to assess travellers before they arrive, thereby guaranteeing better border control. It will also streamline the immigration process, simplifying entry into the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

K-ETA application process<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

To obtain a K-ETA<\/strong>Travellers must complete an online application via the official portal www.keta.go.kr<\/a> or use the \"K-ETA\" mobile application available on the App Store and Google Play Store. The application requires various items of information, such as an e-mail address, passport details, a passport photo and details of the stay. The process should take no more than a few minutes if all the information is ready.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

The cost of this authorisation is 10 300 KRW<\/strong> (about 7 \u20ac<\/strong>), and the request must be made at least 72 hours before arrival in South Korea. Once granted, the K-ETA<\/strong> is valid for a period of three years<\/strong> or until the expiry of the traveller's passport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nationalities concerned<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 2025, the 112 countries and territories that will have to apply for K-ETA<\/strong> include nations from Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. Among them are such notable countries as France<\/strong>, l'Germany<\/strong>, l'Spain<\/strong>and the United States. This measure aims to standardise requirements for all visitors to the country, ensuring that everyone complies with the new travel regulations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Exemptions and special categories<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Certain groups of travellers are exempt from the K-ETA requirement, including children aged 17 and under, people aged 65 and over, and those holding a valid visa or South Korean residence permit. Members of the US armed forces present in Korea and holders of diplomatic passports can also benefit from exemptions, making it easier for them to travel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is therefore essential for travellers concerned to check their eligibility and bear these exceptions in mind to avoid complications during their trip.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

The implications of K-ETA for tourism in South Korea<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

The South Korean authorities aim to strengthen border security and better manage the flow of travellers. It is therefore crucial that all travellers wishing to enter South Korea after 31 December 2024 have a K-ETA<\/strong> or an appropriate visa. Denied boarding may occur if these requirements are not met, making advance planning essential.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Authorised motifs for K-ETA<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

La K-ETA<\/strong> covers a variety of reasons for staying, including tourism, business, family visits, as well as sporting and conference events. In March 2024, a new category, the incentive tourism<\/strong>A new feature, the company travel reward, has been introduced, marking an evolution in business travel needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Travellers need to be prepared for these changes and make sure they meet all the necessary conditions to get the most out of their experience in South Korea, a country undergoing a renaissance as far as tourism is concerned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
