What the South Korea eArrival is, in 30 seconds

Complete your South Korea e-Arrival Card online before departure and receive electronic confirmation linked to your passport, ready for immigration at Korean airports and seaports.

Valid passport details, arrival and departure travel information (airline and flight number, or vessel), country of departure (last country visited), accommodation address and postal code in South Korea, country of residence, and valid email address to receive your confirmation.
- Processing time
- Usually instant. Your e-Arrival Card confirmation is generated immediately after submission.
- Validity
- Valid for the specific trip details declared; a new e-Arrival Card must be submitted for each trip to South Korea.
- Entries
- Single entry. Submit a new e-Arrival Card for each separate entry into South Korea.
- At the border
- Keep your e-Arrival Card confirmation available on your phone or as a printout and present it with your passport at immigration.
Four steps, and you know all four
Most services show you three. The fourth one is real, so here it is.
01
Your trip
When you arrive and leave, and where to email the eArrival.
02
Your travelers
Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.
03
Review and pay
Choose your review speed. Every line itemized before you pay a cent.
04
After payment
Arrival details
After payment
Airline, flight number and your address in South Korea. About 2 minutes, once your payment clears.
What it costs
The application is $99.99 per traveler, charged for at most 2 travelers. That covers a 2 hours review by a person. Faster review is optional, priced below, and never pre-selected.
Service fee
$99.99
per traveler, and never for more than 2. A party of 4 pays the same service fee as a party of 2.
Government fee
None
South Korea charges nothing for the eArrival, so the service fee is the whole bill.
Review and submission
2 hours
Included in the price. A person checks every answer, then submits it. If South Korea is not accepting submissions for your dates yet, we submit within that time of its window opening, and checkout shows you the date before you pay.
2 travelers is $99.99 × 2 = $199.98, and so is 4: the service fee stops at 2 travelers and South Korea charges nothing on top. Faster review is optional and priced below. Every line is itemized before you pay.
Review and submission speed
Every application is checked by a person before it is submitted. Standard is included in the price above. Two faster options are available at checkout, and neither is pre-selected.

Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. If South Korea is not accepting the eArrival for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens; checkout shows you that date before you pay. 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.
What $99.99 adds
Someone else carries it
- 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.
Doing it yourself
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.
Who needs one
Every foreign national entering South Korea, whatever your passport. Find yours below.
The questions people actually ask
Yes. The official portal is www.e-arrivalcard.go.kr and it costs nothing. We are a paid service: we fill the form in with you, check it against South Korea's rules, submit it on the day the window opens, and keep a human on chat if anything snags. If you would rather do that yourself, do. The link is on this page.
All we need is the day you land.
Start now, pay when you have seen the full price, and let someone else keep track of South Korea's submission window.
