ROK TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS:
Beginning April 1 2023, the Korea Electronic Travel Authorization, or K-ETA, is temporarily exempted for 22 countries until Dec. 31, 2024. The United States is included in this exemption. Travelers can still apply for a K-ETA and pay the 10,000 Korean Won fee (about $9) per person if they wish; those who have a K-ETA will not have to submit an arrival card at the port of entry. Those who got their K-ETA approval already can use it until it expires. No refund will be made for people who have already submitted a K-ETA application. U.S. travelers, along with nationals of countries/regions eligible for visa-free entry into Korea, were required to get K-ETA approval to board incoming flights or ships. This change suspends the K-ETA requirement for the U.S. and 21 other countries temporarily. Please refer to: refer to: https://m.keta.go.kr/

Upon receipt of the SIP, traveler must coordinate with the DoD Passport Agent in country to ensure the proper visa and SOFA Stamp is placed on the SIP within 90 days of arrival in country by ROK Immigration officials.
