Do I need to obtain a new entry authorization each time I visit South Korea?
Entry authorizations approved after July 3, 2023, are valid for three years. If your passport expires in less than three years from the approval date, the authorization will only remain valid until the passport’s expiration date.
What is the timeframe for receiving the registration results?
The time to receive registration results can take more than 72 hours, depending on the number of applicants and the circumstances. Please keep this in mind when registering.
Can an approved entry authorization permit me to work in South Korea?
No, the authorization does not allow for any profit-seeking activities in South Korea. Approved purposes include tourism, family visits, participation in events or gatherings, and business activities that do not involve earning income.
If my intended arrival and departure dates change, do I need to reapply?
The expected stay period is not mandatory information on the application, so you do not need to reapply or amend your authorization if your entry or departure dates change.
