To travel to South Korea you generally do not need a Visa for a business or tourist stay of up to 90 days<\/b> (if your nationality is part of the exemption program).<\/p>\n

However, some requests such as a long trip, a working visit, an internship in a Korean company or an expatriation Visa (this list is obviously not exhaustive) or nationalities outside of the exemption program, require a Visa.<\/p>\n

Visa Travel International<\/b><\/span> is an agency approved by the Korean Consulate to assist you in your procedures and whatever the type of Visa you need.
To this end, you will find on this page all the information and answers to questions that will be useful to you in order to obtain your Visa.<\/p>\n

If this is not the case, please do not hesitate to get back to us so that we can give you all the information you need.<\/p>\n

However, you will have to fill several forms on arrival. To avoid that exercise, you can subscribe to an eVisa (K-ETA)<\/strong> prior to leaving your country. This will allow you to enter South Korea in a smoother way a,d travel with peace of mind.<\/p>\n

To be able to enter the territory of South Korea, the traveler must bring his passport<\/strong> currently valid (it is recommended to have 6 months validity after the date of return but it’s not mandatory), his Visa<\/strong> or eVisa<\/strong> (K-ETA<\/strong>) if necessary, as well as a return flight ticket<\/strong>.
<\/b><\/p>\n

As of February 24, 2025<\/strong>, South Korea is implementing an eArrival card<\/strong> (electronic arrival card that will eventually replace paper formalities – to be subscribed 3 days before departure) which will facilitate arrival formalities for international travelers without Visa\/eVisa.<\/p>\n

Visa Travel International<\/strong><\/span> can subscribe to this electronic card for you but it should be noted that travelers with a K-ETA<\/strong> will be exempt from these formalities<\/span>.<\/p>\n

It should be noted<\/b> that, even if the traveler is in possession of all the documents requested to validate his entry into South Korea, the Korean authorities reserve the right to refuse access to their territory without having to justify it.<\/p>\n
