Yes, every traveler, including children and infants, must have their own South Korean eTA to enter the country.
What You Need to Know
All travelers, regardless of age, need an individual eTA linked to their own passport. There are no exemptions for children, even if they are included on a parent’s travel documents. Parents or guardians must apply separately for each child. Requirements can vary depending on nationality, so it is important to check the specific rules that apply to your family.
Our Recommendation
Apply for an eTA for each child well ahead of your trip. Double-check that all details match the child’s passport to avoid delays or reapplications.
A Quick Tip
Have your child’s passport and any supporting documents, such as a birth certificate if required, ready before starting the application to make the process smoother.
