Visa and Entry Requirements for International Attendees
All international attendees of ICKRS 2026 in Seoul must hold a valid passport and, if required, obtain an entry visa before arriving in South Korea. While some countries are eligible for visa-free entry, we strongly recommend that all participants check the visa requirements for their nationality in advance.

K-ETA
K-ETA is an electronic travel authorization that visa-free foreign visitors need to obtain before entering the Republic of Korea, by submitting relevant information online such as their travel information.
Starting 1st September 2021, K-ETA is Mandatory for all foreigners entering Korea from visa waiver countries and visa-free countries.
All foreigners without either a K-ETA or a valid Visa will not be permitted to board a plane to Korea.
The K-ETA approval may take 72 hours or more, depending on the number of applications received and the circumstances of the applicant.
Therefore, make sure to complete the application for K-ETA 72 hours before boarding by aircraft.
