How long is the KETA valid for?
What is the validity period of KETA?
The KETA is valid for three years from the date of approval (after July 3, 2023). However, if your passport does not have at least three years of validity remaining at the time of application, the KETA will only be valid for the duration of your passport’s validity.
When will I know the approval status?
Generally, it takes about 72 hours, but it may take longer depending on the situation.
What should I do when I re-enter South Korea within the validity period?
If your passport information, intended stay location, or purpose of entry has changed, you need to update that information. If there are no changes, you can enter as is.
When should I apply?
You must apply in advance and obtain approval before boarding a flight or vessel to South Korea. The review typically takes about 72 hours, but it may take longer depending on the situation, so please apply well in advance.
I will be staying at multiple accommodations during my trip. Which address should I enter?
Please enter only the address of your primary place of stay.
