Korea's official electronic arrival declaration is the e-Arrival Card. The government site states that there is no fee and that eligible travelers can submit within three days before arriving in Korea.
Start with the site's eligibility navigator instead of assuming everyone needs the form. It asks what valid travel authorization or status you hold, such as a visa, K-ETA or residence card. The current navigator says travelers entering with a valid K-ETA do not need to submit the e-Arrival Card.
To file, prepare an email address, a valid passport, and your arrival, departure and stay information. The official process is: agree to terms, enter passport information, enter travel itinerary details, review the information, and submit. You can later check or edit a submission using the issue number or email verification.
Use only the official domain, e-arrivalcard.go.kr. The government currently warns that fake sites are impersonating the service and that any site asking for payment information is not the official e-Arrival Card service.
Scheduled service suspension on October 8–9, 2026
The official site currently announces a temporary suspension from October 8, 2026 at 18:00 until October 9, 2026 at 02:30 KST. If your permitted three-day submission window overlaps that period and you are required to file, plan around the announced outage and recheck the official notice before relying on the service.
Entry rules can change. Check the navigator again shortly before travel, especially if your visa or K-ETA status changed.
