Entry: visa-free & K-ETA

Israeli passport holders enter Korea visa-free for tourist stays of up to 90 days. Israeli citizens are currently EXEMPT from K-ETA (Korea's electronic travel authorization) — you do not need to apply — and this exemption is in effect through 31 December 2026 (per the Israeli Embassy in Seoul). You do still need to complete the free e-Arrival Card online within 3 days before each arrival (or fill the paper arrival card handed out on the plane). After 31 December 2026 the K-ETA rule may change, so always reconfirm current requirements on the official sources — k-eta.go.kr and the Israeli Embassy in Seoul — before you fly. If you ever do need a K-ETA, apply only on the official site, never on third-party fee sites.
