What the eArrival is

100% online โ€” complete the e-Arrival Card from any device before your flight or cruise to South Korea.

The South Korea e-Arrival Card is South Korea's official digital arrival form, a mandatory online entry requirement for all travelers arriving in the country. 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.

What you'll need

  • 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
  • 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.

  1. 01

    Your trip

    When you arrive and leave, and where to email the eArrival.

  2. 02

    Your travelers

    Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.

  3. 03

    Review and pay

    Choose your review speed. Every line itemized before you pay a cent.

  4. 04After payment

    Arrival details

    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-hour review by a person. Faster review is optional, priced below, and never pre-selected.

  • Ultra Fast

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. 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.

Questions, answered straight

Still unsure?

A person answers on chat, 24/7, before and after you apply.

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.
