Visa requirements for Taiwan citizens traveling to South Korea

ℹ️Important Notes & Requirements

• ❖Taiwanese citizens can enter South Korea as a short term visit (e.g., tours, visiting relatives or friends, attending simple meetings) up to 90 days without a visa. They must have an onward or return ticket. It is illegal to work on a tourist visa, whether as a teacher or in any other capacity. Taiwanese passport holders must be in possession of a Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) to enter Korea visa-free. They can complete their K-ETA application up to 24 hours before boarding their flight and it will be valid for 3 years from the date of approval. There is a small, non-refundable charge. Taiwanese passport holders are exempt from K-ETA requirements until end of 2026. After arriving in South Korea, Taiwanese passport holders can use the Smart Entry Service (SeS) to enter the country.
