With a South Korea eTA, most travelers can stay in the country for up to 90 days per visit.
What You Need to Know
The South Korea eTA is designed for short-term stays, such as tourism, business, or family visits. It does not allow long-term residency, work, or study. While the eTA itself may remain valid for up to 2 years (or until your passport expires), each individual stay is capped at 90 days. The exact permitted length of stay may vary depending on your nationality and South Korean immigration rules at the time of entry.
Our Recommendation
Be sure to check your passport stamp upon arrival in South Korea, as immigration officials will confirm your authorized length of stay. Overstaying your eTA can lead to fines, penalties, or restrictions on future travel.
A Quick Tip
If you plan to stay in South Korea longer than the allowed 90 days, you will need to apply for the appropriate visa before you travel.
