About this site
Travel Guide Korea (travelguidekorea.com) brings together practical information for foreign visitors to the Republic of Korea. It explains official visitor support, arrival rules, money and transport tips, and where to stay, in plain English.
Purpose
Official rules and visitor programs change often. This site summarizes the key points from official sources so you can check what to do, what you may qualify for, and where to apply or book.
How we check information
We give priority to official materials, including:
- Korean government sites such as K-ETA, the e-Arrival Card, Hi Korea, and the Korea Visa Portal
- The Korea Tourism Organization (VisitKorea) and official local tourism sites
- Notices from Korean embassies and consulates, and from ministries such as the Ministry of Justice
Where we can, we include the official source in the article. If amounts, deadlines, or eligibility change, we check the official page again and then update the article.
Update policy
- When a program or deadline is officially announced or changed, we review the related articles first.
- If we find an error or outdated information, we check it and then correct the page.
- We do not offer personal advice, visa or immigration consulting, or application services. We provide general information only.
