Documents Required to Travel
You will need a valid passport to travel to Korea. If you do not have a valid passport, an application should be pursued immediately. If you currently do have a valid passport, its expiration date must be more than six months after the return date of your tour. The Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) is required for foreigners who intend to enter South Korea for tourism, visiting relatives, participate in events or meetings, and business purposes other than profitable activities. You will need to apply at least one month in advance of travel. Although there is a temporary exemption for tourists from the U.S., as part of group travel, we are requiring it. This also streamlines the customs process once we land in Korea/in-country
Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA)A Certificate of Citizenship or a Naturalization Certificate may be required by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service to prove eligibility to obtain a passport. You will be advised if there are additional documents required due to COVID-19.
