You can board a flight to South Korea on a passport from Italy with no visa. You may stay up to 90 days per visit. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.
- Status
- Visa free
- Stay permitted
- 90 days
- Government fee
- Nothing to pay
- Typical decision
- No application
There is nothing to apply for and nothing to pay.
Book your flight. Any site offering to sell you a South Korea visa, permit or "travel authorisation" for this trip is selling you something you do not need.
If you are travelling on a different passport, South Korea's official entry rules are at k-eta.go.kr.
What South Korea asks for
- Valid passport
- Valid email address
- ID photo
- Credit or debit card to pay the fee
Worth knowing
- The K-ETA fee is not refunded if the application is refused.
- K-ETA validity is not the length of stay. Each visit is still limited to your country's visa-free period.
- Apply only at k-eta.go.kr or the official K-ETA app. Other sites charge more for the same application.
How long it takes
It can take longer when applications are heavy, so apply well before you fly.
