What is the Korea e-Arrival Card?
Korea e-Arrival Card Source: theseoulguide
The Korea e-Arrival Card is a mandatory digital entry declaration form launched on February 24, 2025, replacing traditional paper arrival cards . It allows foreign visitors to submit their entry information online in advance, streamlining immigration procedures at Korean airports and ports. Here are some key things to know:
- It’s 100% free (beware of third-party sites charging fees), and you don’t need to print it—immigration accesses it electronically.
- You can submit it up to 72 hours (3 days) before your arrival in Korea (based on Korea Standard Time, KST/GMT+9), and it’s valid for 72 hours after submission.
- If you don’t enter Korea within that window, you’ll need to resubmit.
Who Needs to Submit Korea e-Arrival Card?
Nearly all foreign visitors entering Korea must submit the e-Arrival Card, including tourists, business travelers, friends/family visitors, and transit passengers who leave the airport (e.g., to pick up baggage or stay overnight). For kids under 14, parents or guardians need to complete the form on their behalf—no separate submission is required for each child if you add them to your application.
- Tourists on short-term stays (up to 90 days)
- Business travelers
- Visitors staying with friends/family
- Transit passengers who leave the airport (for baggage claim or hotel stay)
Important: Parents/guardians must complete the form on behalf of children under 14 years old.

How to Fill Out the Korea e-Arrival Card Online
Follow these simple steps to complete your e-Arrival Card :
Step 1: Prepare Required Documents
Start by prepping what you’ll need: a valid passport (must be good for at least 6 months after your arrival date), your email address (to get confirmation), flight details (arrival date, flight number), and your exact accommodation address in Korea (this is a mandatory field—no vague “hotel in Seoul” answers allowed). You’ll also need a phone number (international calling code included) and your travel purpose (tourism, business, etc.).
- Valid passport (must be valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival date)
- Email address (to receive confirmation and issuance number)
- Travel details:
- Arrival/departure dates
- Flight number
- Accommodation address in Korea (hotel name and address or friend's address—required field)
- Contact information

Step 2: Access the Official Website
Once you have everything ready, head to the official website: https://www.e-arrivalcard.go.kr/portal/main/index.do (this is the only legitimate site, ignore any others that ask for payment). The site supports English, Chinese, Japanese, and other languages, so you won’t struggle with translations.
- Go to www.e-arrivalcard.go.kr (recommended over QR code scanning for stability)
- The website supports multiple languages (including English, Chinese, Japanese)
Step 3: Complete the Application
- Agree to terms and conditions
- Enter email address
- Upload passport bio page (clear photo/scan without glare)
- System uses OCR to auto-fill most information
- Input travel itinerary:
- Select arrival date
- Enter flight number
- Choose purpose of visit (tourism, business, etc.)
- Enter accommodation address in Korea (must be complete and accurate)
- Add additional travelers (if any):
- For groups: Up to 9 people via mobile, up to 1,000 via PC
- For children under 14: Check "minor" box and provide their details
Step 4: Review and Submit
Once all info is entered, take a final pass to verify everything. Make sure your accommodation address is correct, your flight number is right, and your passport expiration date is up to date. When you’re satisfied, click “Submit.” You’ll instantly get a confirmation email with an e-Arrival Card issuance number—save this (and maybe screenshot the confirmation page) as a backup, even though you won’t need to print it.
Pro Tip: If you make a mistake, you can edit your submission using your issuance number or email verification—but only within 72 hours of submission .

When to Submit Korea e-Arrival Card?
The best time to submit is 1–2 days before your departure. This gives you enough time to fix any errors and avoids last-minute panic (or internet issues at the airport). The submission window opens 72 hours before your arrival in Korea, so you can’t submit earlier than that—but you can do it on the day of arrival if you forget (though we don’t recommend it, as it might slow down your immigration process).
- Submission window: 72 hours (3 days) before arrival in Korea (based on Korea Standard Time, KST/GMT+9)
- You can submit on:
- The day of arrival (before immigration inspection)
- One day prior
- Two days prior
What if your plans change?
- If you don't enter Korea within 72 hours of submission, your e-Arrival Card becomes invalid—you must submit a new one
- If you change flights or accommodation after submission, resubmit a new e-Arrival Card with updated information
Korea e-Arrival Card vs. K-ETA: What’s the Difference?
What is a K-ETA? How to apply for it? |Korea-ETA| - YouTube
A common confusion: the e-Arrival Card and K-ETA are two separate systems with totally different purposes. Here’s a clear breakdown to avoid mix-ups:
Feature | e-Arrival Card | K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) |
|---|---|---|
Purpose | Replaces paper arrival forms—declares entry info to immigration | Grants permission for visa-free entry to eligible travelers |
Who Needs It | Most foreign visitors (unless exempt) | Visa-free travelers from 112 designated countries (e.g., US, EU, Australia) |
Cost | Free | $10 (one-time fee for 2-year validity) |
Validity | 72 hours per trip (single entry) | Multiple entries over 2 years |
Submission Timing | Up to 3 days before arrival | At least 72 hours before departure (to avoid delays) |
Critical note: K-ETA isn’t required for kids under 17, adults 65+, or travelers with diplomatic/official visas. And if you have a valid K-ETA, you don’t need the e-Arrival Card—this is a big time-saver for frequent visitors.
Tips for a Smooth Korea e-Arrival Card Experience
- Stick to the official website: The only legal website for electronic entry cards is www.e-arrivalcard.go.kr. Any third-party website that charges is a scam, do not share your passport information and do not pay for this free service.
- Book accommodation first: If you do not have a valid address in South Korea, you cannot submit the form. Therefore, lock in your hotel or host accommodation before you start.
- Check your passport validity: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of arrival. If your passport has expired or is close to expiration, the immigration authorities will refuse entry.
- Use stable internet: Submit via a reliable Wi-Fi or data connection. If you are in a country with Internet restrictions, use a valid VPN to access this website.
- For groups: Designate 1-2 person to handle each submission, this avoids repetitive work and ensures the consistency of all information.
What Happens If You Forget to Submit Korea e-Arrival Card?
- Don't panic: If you arrive in Korea without submitting an e-Arrival Card, you can:
- Fill out the electronic entry card online at the airport before entering the country (airports usually offer free Wi-Fi).
- Fill out the paper entry card at the immigration office (by December 2025)
- Important: Both the paper and electronic versions are equally valid during the transition period (until December 31, 2025). After this date, only electronic arrival cards will be accepted.

The hotel service is excellent, especially the staff at the front desk. They are very friendly to Chinese guests, and some even speak Chinese. Check-in was super fast, and they also helped us book restaurants and arranged a taxi. They even made sure our luggage was loaded and gave instructions to the driver – truly thoughtful and attentive! Definitely a huge thumbs up! The hotel is clean and tidy, and the location is great, making it convenient to get anywhere. Highly recommend this well-established hotel! (^O^)From$362

This hotel is perfectly located! It's just south of Seoul City Hall Square and west of Myeongdong. The subway station is only a few dozen meters from the lobby entrance, and Sejong-daero is right to the west. It's also not far from the major palaces and Namsan, so the location couldn't be better. The staff are very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. While the facilities might feel a bit more compact compared to newly built five-star hotels in China, they are well-maintained and perfectly adequate. Overall, it offers great value for money.From$334

I booked this hotel through a Ctrip group deal, and the price during the May Day holiday was incredibly good. By April, the hotel's public rate was already 3-4 times what I paid! The hotel itself is quite luxurious, located halfway up Nanshan Mountain with a fantastic environment. However, there are too few elevators and they are incredibly slow. During peak hours after breakfast, I waited ten minutes for an elevator – the slowest I've ever experienced at a five-star hotel.
The service was generally good. We were supposed to have two adult breakfasts included, but there seemed to be a communication issue between the hotel and Ctrip, as the restaurant only showed one. Ctrip eventually sorted it out, and the front desk, to apologize, even provided a complimentary breakfast for my child. (Though I must say, the restaurant staff weren't particularly enthusiastic.) Also, the kids' play area is only open from 6 AM to 6 PM, which is quite odd, haha. Our room had a city view, and the night scenery was absolutely beautiful.From$419

Very beautiful hotel. Greeted by staffs who helped open the car door, and get your bags and luggage to the check in counter every day!
Only bummer was at check out timing is 11am, we tried asking for later check out timing during check-in and was told hotel is full. Managed to get a late check out of 12pm when we tried again the night before leaving the hotel.
Hotel has a little mall,a coffee bean, CU, some expensive restaurants. It also has a sauna (30K won per pax), 1 hot and cold tub and one sauna room.
Room amenities can be requested via the web app in your room. Rooms were very modern, however Water from the shower does flood the dry toilet area a little. Generally a great stay.From$224

Room reasonable. We were 2 adults and 2 kids (12 years old). Just managed to get our 3 bags and 1 carry in it. I would describe the layout as a bit weird. As you enter the sink and the pantry (coffee making facilities) are together. While one brushes his teeth the other one is making coffee. The bathroom is only wc and shower. The beds were comfortable and were sufficient for 4 of us. We did not have bfast but there is a CU in the hotel itself. The front desk staff were very helpful and courteous. Distance to Euljiro 4 station is just 100 meters away, moving around the city would be easy but walking to central areas like Myeongdong may be too far. Hotel is good if you are paying a reasonable price for it like usd 120-140. Unfortunately we booked during peak time and paid like USD 220 for it. Overall we were satisfied but be mindful of the pricing per night when you choose this hotel.From$85

I have to say as a first time sole female traveler— I always travel solo and I must say! this place is a gem! Lemme tell you first, the entrance to the hotel is at the side (I am bad with directions)… if you come late and the mall is close, face left and entrance is just at the side lol. In front of the hotel, there are lots of restaurants and you can always eat as solo traveler. Lots of choices and good foods. Lots of street market vendors if you just walk 1-2minutes and love this. I initially dont like the room (because of the view) (I only book places for their views tbh) as I have initially asked for a good view room on my request and all ;; and as what was advertised but it is my mistake for not booking city view room but I saw on some reviews they got nice city view room; and had to ask for a change because I stayed for 6nights. They advised as it was late, they have got no rooms available and informed me they will change on the next day. They promptly changed it on the morning itself saving me the time in to initially checking out and wait for availability. They were really quick in addressing the concerns I have and was very helpful. Really appreciate it as a first timer visitor in the city. Will definitely come back to this hotel and will book city view room next because so worth it!!!! Thank you for being so kind and helpful ❤️❤️ DDP is just 5mins walk and was so mesmerised! I have got the trail view and the trail is just so pretty! Will include the pictures of the trail! Once you got on the trail, you can see Namsan Tower as well! Very very wonderful stay!From$114

From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I knew this stay would be different. While many luxury hotels offer grand decor, this one combines that elegance with a warmth that truly makes it feel like a home away from home. Check-In & First Impressions: The arrival process was seamless. The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade to a studio suite. They even let me choose the essential oils for my room's diffuser during check-in—a small but incredibly thoughtful touch. The Room: The suite was spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean. The highlight was the ”Heavenly Bed”—I haven’t had such a deep, restful sleep in months. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a majestic view of the city skyline, which was particularly stunning at sunset. Dining & Amenities: Breakfast was a highlight. The spread was vast, featuring everything from freshly made dim sum to a live cooking station. I also spent an afternoon at the rooftop infinity pool, which felt like an oasis high above the busy streets. Service Excellence: What truly sets this hotel apart is the service. The team was attentive and responsive, anticipating needs before I even asked. When I had a minor issue with the AC, the maintenance team fixed it within minutes with a smile. Final Verdict: Whether you are traveling for business or a relaxing family holiday, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The prime location and impeccable service make it a top-tier choice. I will definitely be returning!From$145

Traveling with kids means location, transport, and dining options, catering to both crowds and quiet spots, are all key considerations. First off, the location was perfect – the airport shuttle drops you right at the hotel, just across the street. We noticed fewer Chinese guests and more European and American visitors. Right opposite the hotel, there's Olive Young, McDonald's, and a fried chicken joint. To the left and right of the hotel entrance, you'll find a 7-Eleven on each side. The streets behind the hotel are packed with restaurants. Just about 200 meters to the left of the hotel entrance is Mapo Subway Station, which is only one stop from Yeouido Department Store – super convenient. If you head right from the hotel, you'll reach Gongdeok Subway Station, where you can find the popular Egg Drop sandwiches, which are a great value for breakfast. The hotel doesn't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste, so it's a good idea to bring your own set. If you forget, there's a machine on the first floor where you can buy them. For your return journey, you can catch the airport shuttle to the airport right in front of the McDonald's opposite the hotel. You can buy tickets on-site by scanning a QR code or paying with cash. Highly recommend this hotel for families with children.From$108

Excellent Stay at Roynet Hotel Mapo — Great Location & Wonderful Upgrade!
We had a fantastic stay at Roynet Hotel Mapo during our family trip to Seoul. The location near Mapo/Gongdeok station is absolutely perfect — easy access to the subway made exploring the city effortless, from Gyeongbokgung Palace to Hongdae and Myeongdong.
We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a Premium Room, which was spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable for our family of four. The room was spotlessly clean with modern amenities and a lovely view.
The highlight was access to the Executive Lounge — a wonderful bonus that we truly appreciated. The lounge offered a relaxed atmosphere, great refreshments, and attentive service. It made our mornings and evenings so much more enjoyable, especially with two kids in tow!
The staff throughout were warm, professional and incredibly helpful — nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast spread was impressive with a good variety of Korean and Western options.
Mapo is a great neighbourhood — safe, vibrant and full of great dining options just steps from the hotel.
Would highly recommend Roynet Hotel Mapo for families visiting Seoul. We will definitely be back! 🇰🇷From$105

The location is fantastic! Subway Lines 2 and 4 are right nearby, making it super convenient for getting around. Myeongdong Lotte, Myeongdong Shinsegae, and the Myeongdong shopping street are all within easy reach. Plus, the airport shuttle bus stop is less than a five-minute walk from the hotel. The hotel staff are really friendly and helpful. There's a Korean lady at the front desk who speaks excellent Chinese, and another Chinese lady, so communication was a breeze. The lobby has a free coffee machine and popcorn, and the doorman works quite late. You need to use your key card to access the guest floors, which made me feel very secure. While the room isn't huge, I could easily open up two 28-inch suitcases. I was very satisfied with my stay this time.From$276

Spending a night in a room fully decorated with Cinnamoroll—would it be worth it? I expected it would be, and so I booked the Cinnamoroll character room at Novotel Suites Ambassador Yongsan. My child was even happier than I had imagined, and we were able to enjoy a truly relaxing time together. The swimming pool was a bit small, but since there weren’t many people at the time we used it, we were able to enjoy a peaceful swim. The food package included in the Cinnamoroll room package was perfect for our hungry post-swim time. It tasted great and came with pizza, steak, salad, and drinks—an excellent combination. However, despite booking for two adults and one child, the room was only prepared for two people in terms of towels, slippers, and bottled water. That lack of attention to detail was a bit disappointing. Also, the robe and plush toy provided as part of the Cinnamoroll amenities weren’t packed in anything, which made them inconvenient to carry. It would be great if the hotel could consider things more from the guest's perspective.From$204

He even initiated to ask us to sit inside the hotel lobby while he kept a lookout for us. As he understood we are rushing to catch the flight, he even helped us to translate to the cab uncle to hurry for us. All of them speak fluent English, are very warm hearted and takes initiative in offering excellent service with genuine smiles.

It's also convenient for getting to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan, and Dongdaemun. It's not a 5-star hotel, more like a Sheraton express. The toilet seat had some dirty spots, making it feel not thoroughly cleaned. The breakfast selection was limited, and the bread was hard and unappetizing. For over 2000 a night, you're definitely paying for the location; don't expect much else.From$179

The location is great and the service is excellent. COEX Mall and Starfield Library are just in front of the hotel. It is also very convenient since it is near the train station entrance and bus stops.From$161
