From Q-Codes, to a guide of the Seoul, Incheon Airport - I just came back home to South Korea so I decided to make an updated video to inform you about the new Korea Entry Requirements for 2023! Here's a complete walkthrough of what applications you need to fill-out in advance and I show you what it looks like to enter customs and go through the airport in 2023~

We just arrived in Korea a couple days ago from the US. All of Megan’s videos were extremely helpful! I think the only surprise was how many start and stops there were (stopping at immigration, then forward, then customs, then forward, then baggage claim). My wife and I are in Hongdae now (airport limousine bus is very cheap and easy, would recommend). And we will be in Korea for another 6 days between here and Itaewon! Thank you Megan, would love to meet you!

I am in Seoul right now sitting in my Myeongdong hotel. Of the 4 countries I visited the past three weeks Korea was the most complicated to navigate for Immigration but I successfully got through it. I came in on Thai Smile Airways and they were helpful in getting prepared. It was a very busy arrival too and took me 2 1/2 hours from the plane landing to arriving in Seoul Station metro.

@@krizel2447 I stayed at Daeyoung Hotel Seoul which was at the time $45 USD/night. Very nice rooms clean and quiet. Much better than the places I stayed in India. Safety is definitely not an issue in Seoul as a solo female traveler you'll be very much at ease getting around at night. The metro system is really nice there I used it a lot and Myeongdong district has lots of places within walking distance.

Not sure if anyone write this (too many comments 😊) but….. In celebration of ‘Visit Korea Year (2023~2024)’, K-ETA will be temporarily exempted to 22 countries/regions from April 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024 (KST). Please note that nationals of 22 countries/regions can still apply for K-ETA, and K-ETA application fee is 10,000 KRW/per person (around 9~10 USD, additional fees not included). Those who have the K-ETA are not required to submit an arrival card at the port of arrival. ○ List of 22 countries/regions eligible for temporary exemption of K-ETA: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Macao, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, UK, US (including Guam)

I concur. Your K-ETA is good for two years. I traveled back in October 2022 and currently here again in March 2023 on the same K-ETA. You don't need to print it out. The K-ETA is in their system. But as a good measure, have it saved on your phone just in case they need to see it. Do your Q-CODE, the day before your travel. You can also have this saved on your phone as they will scan this after you de-plane but before you reach customs. I don't remember having to take a wrist temperature but yeah maybe. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I arrived to Korea from the UK in January, at the passport control a woman started asking questions with the mask, because I am deaf, I had disability documents with me, I can read through mouth, I asked her to remove the mask, or to explain with gestures, she said that won't take off the mask, and won't explain with gestures, and called someone and I was sent to the cabinet, which is the left of the passport control, and I started to search for embassy contacts there, because it's unfair. The officer then summoned me for the interview, which I explained everything to them and stated that I would like to contact my embassy. They apologized, placed a sticker on my passport, took me through passport control, and said goodbye with their heads down. I'm writing to individuals who have hearing problems to advise them to bring all of their disability documentation with them and notify the embassy, as it is their responsibility to protect all citizens.

Thanks for your sharing! Do you mean you can read lips? Even English as second language people? Just try to put my head in shoes of your group. No offence at all. To be English as second language, I am deaf and mute to some extent.
@АртемГаврилов-я8р
Hello! I myself am deaf. A few years ago I was in Korea. I have a problem communicating with people. I communicate only with gestures and lips. And just sent me to another office. They checked my documents, air tickets there and back, reservation. Everything is fine and no questions asked. Released. There is no point in contacting the embassy. Only as a last resort. Good luck)

Hi Alex, I am at Australia, I think we are the similar, do we need to pay for Keta visa? That is insane. If so how much please? We are going to boom their economy, WTH?

I would advise asking for the K-ETA a month or 2 before your trip in case you get denied the K-ETA. I come from a country who doesn't need visa to enter south korea for a short time so I didn't really plan ahead, asked for it 10 days before my solo trip and got denied. In this case you have to go through regular visitor visa procedures which take from 2weeks to a month (in France) and of course it was too late already. I hope my misfortune can help others visiting SK.

I love you for this video! Going to Korea in about a month and the visa page from my country was so confusing until I realized that I 'only' need the k-eta (needs to be 72h before arrival, compared to 1-2 months for a longer stay visa).

Thank you this was very helpful. In December I booked a trip for March 5-14, however, three weeks prior to my departure date, I applied for K-ETA and a few days later got denied. Unfortunately, they couldn't tell me why, so i tried again and it wouldn't accept it. Went to the Korean Consulate to get a visa, but by that time i received that, i think it would've been too late...so i cancelled my trip altogether. I think what i did wrong was, they asked me for contact information when i was in Korea, and i just put my personal cell phone number, but i hadn't thought about the hotel's phone number. either way, the information about the sim card and also the QR code thing was super helpful along with all the other specific details you gave. Thanks and hopefully things go a lot smoother the next time i book. Just need to research more about the fall season flights and such, if not, next spring it is.

** New update ** As of April 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, 22 countries has a K-eta temporary exemption. So you don't need a visa, just check which country from the list. Luckily I'm coming from the US in June and I don't need a visa 😊

I am in Korea right now. You should really fill in your q-code and k-eta. When I went into the plane, 3 families were left in my country because they missed the k-eta! Also a tip from me, if your phone supports a E-SIM just buy that
