Can You Modify Information After KETA Approval?
After receiving KETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) approval, travelers may realize that some information needs to be changed. However, there are limitations on what can be modified after approval. Here’s what you need to know about updating your KETA details.
1. Information That Cannot Be Changed
Once KETA is approved, certain details cannot be modified. These include:
✔ Passport Number – KETA is linked to your passport. If your passport number changes, you must apply for a new KETA.
✔ Name – If your name is misspelled, you will need to submit a new application.
✔ Nationality – The nationality provided during the initial application cannot be updated.
✔ Date of Birth – If entered incorrectly, a new application is required.
2. Information That Can Be Updated
Some details can be modified even after approval:
✔ Email Address – If you entered the wrong email, you can update it to receive notifications.
✔ Contact Information – Your phone number and emergency contact details can be changed.
✔ Accommodation Address in Korea – If your hotel or lodging details change, you can update them.
✔ Travel Itinerary – While not mandatory, updating your itinerary can be helpful in case of emergencies.
3. How to Make Changes
✔ Minor Updates (Email, Contact, Accommodation, etc.) – Log in to the KETA website and update your details.
✔ Major Changes (Passport, Name, Nationality, etc.) – Submit a new KETA application with the correct details.
✔ Apply Early If Reapplying – If a new KETA is required, apply in advance to avoid delays in your travel plans.
Ensure Your KETA Information Is Correct!
To avoid complications, double-check all information before submitting your application. If major changes are needed, a new application is required. You can easily apply for KETA through ETAPORTAL, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process!
