What should I be careful of when uploading a photo for K-ETA?
The photo must be recent, clear, and meet passport-style requirements. Use a plain white background with full face visibility—no hats, filters, or obstructive accessories. Low-quality, dark, or casual photos are common reasons for rejection. Check the file format and size before uploading to avoid errors. For guidance and a more reliable application process, you can apply through ETAPORTAL, where experts provide helpful support every step of the way.
Can I know the reason for a travel authorization rejection?
Due to internal review policies, the reasons for rejection cannot be disclosed.
I received travel authorization with incorrect passport information. Can I correct this information?
Once authorization is approved or denied, passport information cannot be modified. Please reapply with the correct passport details.
How can I check my application results?
You can check the status on the [website] under [Application Results]. An email notification is also sent to the email address provided at the time of application. Please check your email inbox.
What is the application fee, and is it refundable if denied?
The application fee varies by urgency: $50 USD for a standard application and $70 USD for an expedited application. Please note that the fee is non-refundable, regardless of the application outcome.
