How to Resolve Credit Card Payment Issues When Applying for KETA
When applying for KETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization), some travelers may encounter payment issues, especially with credit card transactions. To ensure a smooth application process, here are some common problems and their solutions.
1. Common Credit Card Payment Issues
✔ Card Not Accepted – Some international credit cards may not be supported. Check if your card is Visa, MasterCard, JCB, or AMEX, as these are usually accepted.
✔ Payment Declined – Banks may block international transactions for security reasons. Contact your bank to enable foreign payments.
✔ Transaction Failed – This may occur due to an unstable internet connection or temporary system issues. Refresh your browser and try again.
✔ Incorrect Card Information – Double-check that your card number, expiration date, CVV, and billing address are entered correctly.
✔ Insufficient Funds – Ensure that your card has enough balance to cover the KETA application fee.
2. Solutions to Fix Payment Errors
✔ Use a Different Card – If one card fails, try using another credit or debit card.
✔ Enable International Payments – Contact your bank or card issuer to verify if international payments are enabled for your card.
✔ Try Another Device or Browser – Some payment failures are browser-related. Switching to a different browser or device may help.
✔ Clear Cache and Cookies – Removing stored browsing data can resolve transaction errors.
✔ Check Payment Gateway Status – If multiple attempts fail, there may be a temporary issue with the payment system. Wait a while and try again.
✔ Use Alternative Payment Methods – If available, consider using other supported payment options, such as virtual or prepaid cards.
