Checklist of Required Items for a KETA Application
Applying for a KETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) is a simple process, but missing or incorrect information can result in delays or even rejection. To ensure a smooth application and avoid unnecessary issues, it’s essential to prepare all required items in advance.
Here’s a checklist of what you need before applying for KETA.
1. A Valid Passport
- Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your intended date of entry into Korea.
- Ensure that your passport number, name, and expiration date are correctly entered in the application.
- A damaged or expired passport may result in rejection.
2. A Recent Passport-Style Photo
- The photo must be high quality, in color, and taken within the last six months.
- Use a plain white or light-colored background with a clear, full-face view.
- Avoid wearing hats, glasses, or accessories that obstruct your facial features.
3. Personal and Travel Information
- Full name, nationality, and date of birth (must match your passport exactly).
- Intended arrival date in Korea and details of your planned stay.
- Purpose of visit (tourism, business, transit, etc.).
- Accommodation details (hotel reservation, host’s contact information, etc.).
4. A Valid Email Address
- Your KETA approval or any additional verification requests will be sent to your email.
Double-check that you enter an active and frequently checked email to avoid missing updates.
5. A Credit or Debit Card for Payment
- Ensure that your card supports international transactions to avoid payment failure.
If one card doesn’t work, be prepared to use an alternative payment method.
By carefully checking and preparing all necessary documents in advance, you can ensure a smooth KETA application process and avoid the risk of rejection.
Taking the time to review your details before submission will help prevent unnecessary delays.
