Due to the constantly changing nature of travel, we urge people to research their own travel requirements. This includes Passport and Visa requirements, documentation for re-entry into country of residence and any other identification needed. Please allow sufficient time in advance of the meeting for processing of all necessary documentation.

To check whether you need a visa to enter South Korea, please visit the official Korea Visa Portal: https://www.visa.go.kr

If you require a visa to attend the conference, the C-3-1 (Short-Term General) Visa is generally the appropriate category. Please contact the Korean Embassy or Consulate responsible for your place of residence to confirm the latest requirements and allow sufficient time for visa processing. For a list of Korean embassies and consulates, please visit the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs directory of overseas diplomatic missions.

Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA)

Nationals of visa-free countries or regions may be required to obtain a Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) before traveling to Korea. However, the Korean government has temporarily exempted nationals of designated countries and regions from the K-ETA requirement through December 31, 2026.

Please check the official K-ETA website to confirm whether you need to apply. If required, apply well in advance of departure. Assessment typically takes 72 hours or less. The application fee is KRW 10,000.
