I am K-ETA exempt, do I still need to submit an e-Arrival Card for South Korea?

Yes, K-ETA exempt individuals including Australian Citizens still need to submit an e-Arrival Card for travelling to South Korea. While Australian travellers are currently exempt from submitting a Korea Electronic Travel Authorisation (K-ETA) until 31st December 2025, they still need to submit an e-Arrival Card as these are two different systems. 

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.
