Do Australians need a Korea Electronic Travel Authorisation (K-ETA) to enter South Korea?

Australians are currently exempt from requiring a Korea Electronic Travel Authorisation (K-ETA) until 31st December 2025. This means Australians can enter South Korea for up to 90 days (the standard visa exemption period) without applying for a K-ETA until 31st December 2025. When the temporary K-ETA exemption ends, Australians will be required to apply for the K-ETA online unless the temporary extension is further extended. 

As entry and visa requirements for South Korea may change, it is your responsibility to verify entry and visa requirements with official government sources such as the South Korean Embassy in Australia or your local South Korean Consulate.
