K-ETA Photo Guide

K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) is required for citizens of visa-exempt countries traveling to Korea by air or sea. The application is 100% online, and you'll need to upload a digital photo. Here's how to get it right:

K-ETA Photo Tips

  • β€’ Use a recent photo (within 6 months)
  • β€’ White background is mandatory
  • β€’ JPEG format, under 100KB
  • β€’ Good quality, no blur

Common K-ETA Rejections

  • β€’ Photo too small or pixelated
  • β€’ Wearing glasses
  • β€’ File size too large
  • β€’ Background not white

ARC (Alien Registration Card) Photo

If you're staying in Korea for more than 90 days (study, work, etc.), you'll need to register for an ARC (외ꡭ인등둝증) at your local immigration office within 90 days of arrival. You'll need the same 35Γ—45mm photo for this card!

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Print multiple copies of your visa photo before arriving in Korea. You'll need photos for ARC registration, bank accounts, phone plans, and more. Our tool lets you download a print-ready layout with multiple copies!
