What it costs
$99.99 per traveler for the eArrival, charged for at most 2 travelers. South Korea charges no government fee, so that is the whole bill. That covers a 2-hour review by a person. Faster review is optional, priced below, and never pre-selected.

If South Korea is not accepting your document for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens. Checkout shows you that date before you pay. A travel eSIM is the only other optional extra. Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. Speeds move your application up our review queue; they do not change how fast the government processes it once submitted, and they are not a guarantee of approval.

2 travelers pay $199.98, and so does a larger party: our fee stops at 2 and South Korea adds nothing on top.
What $99.99 adds to the free portal
South Korea's official portal works, and it costs nothing. Here is the difference, line by line.
With Travel Smart Travel Fast
$99.99 per traveler- An AI checks every answer against South Korea's rules, then a person reviews it before it goes in.
- Apply today, whenever your trip is. We submit on the day the window opens.
- If South Korea's portal is down or rejects the submission, we keep trying until it goes through.
- Passport scanning, real-time validation, and a human on chat if it snags.
- A family of four is one form and one review, not four attempts.
www.e-arrivalcard.go.kr
Free- The official portal, in your own time. It works.
- The portal goes down for maintenance and times your session out. Every retry is yours to make.
- You have to remember the day the window opens, and count back from your arrival yourself.
- A typo in a passport number is yours to catch, and to fix at the airport.
- Every traveler entered separately, from scratch, with nobody to ask when a field is unclear.
