Travel history is required when applying for a K-ETA.

admin | Updated on 2025-04-16

When completing your K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) application, you are required to provide information about your previous international travel. 
This step is not optional—it plays an important role in the immigration screening process.


1. Why It Matters

Your travel history helps Korean immigration authorities assess:

  • Your travel patterns
  • Past visa compliance
  • Any potential risks associated with certain regions

Accurate records allow the system to process your application more smoothly and reduce unnecessary delays.

2. What to Include

Include, especially the most recent countries you have visited in the past few years.
Include tourism, business, study, or any other purpose of travel. 
Be honest and complete—even short trips count.

3. Risks of Omitting Information

Providing false or incomplete information may result in:

  • Application rejection
  • Delays in processing
  • Issues with future applications

Always double-check this section before submitting your form.
