It depends on your nationality:

• Visa-Free Entry: Citizens from certain countries (e.g., USA, Canada, EU countries, Malaysia, Singapore) can stay for up to 90 days without a visa.
• K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization): Some travelers must apply for K-ETA before arrival instead of a visa.
• Visa Required: Other nationalities must apply for a visa at a South Korean embassy.

Check your visa requirements on the Korean Immigration website.

• Fill out the application form.
• Gather required documents (passport, bank statement, itinerary, etc.).
• Submit at a South Korean embassy/consulate.
• Pay the visa fee and wait for processing.

• A valid passport (at least 6 months validity).
• Completed visa application form.
• Recent passport-sized photos.
• Flight reservation and hotel booking.
• Bank statements (last 3-6 months) showing financial stability.
• Employment certificate or business registration (if applicable).
• Invitation letter (if visiting a friend or relative in Korea).

It usually takes 7-14 business days, but it may vary depending on the embassy.
