How to Get KETA Approval Quickly and Easily

If you are planning a trip to Korea, obtaining KETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) approval is essential.
However, some applications are delayed or rejected due to minor errors. 
The following tips will help you complete your KETA application quickly and successfully.

1. Enter Your Passport Information Accurately

One of the most common reasons for rejection is incorrect passport details, such as passport number, name, or date of birth.
Your information must match your passport exactly—even a single incorrect character can result in rejection.

- Always double-check the information by comparing it directly with your passport before and after entering it.

2. Use a Recent Passport-Style Photo

Your photo must be taken within the last six months and meet the official requirements: 
a white background, full face visible, no glasses or hats.
Low-resolution or poorly lit photos may cause your application to be rejected.

- If your photo does not meet the standards, your application may be denied without notice.

3. Choose the Correct Purpose of Travel

You must clearly select the purpose of your visit—tourism, business, attending an event, etc.—and ensure it aligns with your actual travel plans.
Providing false or inconsistent information can result in rejection.

- If the information entered does not match your actual travel purpose, it may affect future entry screening.

4. Prepare a Valid Payment Method

Make sure your credit or debit card is enabled for international transactions. 
Payment errors due to card issues can delay or prevent your application from being submitted.

- If the payment fails, your application will not be completed, so it's important to confirm that your card works in advance.

5. Apply in Advance

Although KETA is usually approved within 24 to 72 hours, processing may take longer in some cases. 
To avoid last-minute issues, apply at least one week before your departure.

- During peak seasons or holidays, application volume increases, which may cause delays.
