Hello Megan. I watched a lot of your videos before taking my trip in May 2023. Thanks for all the directions and advice. The only quirky thing that happened was actually in the US when trying to depart from Logan airport in Boston. Although I had already filled out the K-ETA, and was approved, Logan required I show them a hard copy. Of course, I left the hard copy at home because Korea didn't require it. I did have the screen shot on my phone but what a pain to email it to the luggage supervisor so he could print it off.

Hi Megan, I arrived in Seoul 2 weeks ago. I knew I didn’t need K-eta or Q-Code, but I had both. I’m glad I did because all I had to do was show my passport to the official. No questions asked, just finger prints taken and then I just walked out and down to the train. No forms to complete on arrival. Others on my flight from Australia were madly completing the yellow health form. This is my second trip and has been challenging with the heat, but I have noticed a lot more tourists than were here 11 years ago.

We ate at the Tteokbokki place you recommended (I bought the foodie guide before leaving). It was really good and although the staff was not very helpful, the other customers were. A couple of college students helped us with the ‘how to’. We enjoyed it and had a nice time. Thank you for your advice on the T-card and the subway system. We used the Subway daily with no issues. We really enjoyed Seoul and Jeju. We will have to go back to continue exploring South Korea! Thank you for all the advice! It was very helpful. We almost melt everyday, but we enjoyed all of it!

When I went in April they had JUST stop the KETA, after we had already paid for it. 😑 And then it was about 3 hours to get through customs. We were not given the form to fill out. We just saw them on the way. Me and another guy who was on my flight happened to grab one, because we didn't really know if we needed them or not. So grateful we did! After waiting a couple of hours I would have hated to have to go through that long line again! fun fun.... But that was really about the only truly awful part of my trip!

@MeganOsten Жыл бұрын

Things have DEFINITELY changed since then! I’m really sorry to hear your experience was like this though… this spring/summer was the highest tourism has ever been in Korea so I’m sure that didn’t help 😔 Hopefully the rest of your trip made it worth it! 🫂♥️✨ For others: Customs has only been taking about 10-20 minutes these days and a lot of that is walking. You can fill out the Q-Code in advance if you want the chance of going through the line faster (some for K-ETA but I don’t think it’s worth paying money for - you’ll still be in the same line as everyone else).

God's love transcends borders, languages, and cultures, and it's a privilege to witness and experience that truth as you live as a foreigner in a foreign land.

Me and and my girlfriend took a 3 day trip to Fukuoka to extend my time in Korea after 90 days during a recent visit. When I admitted this to the US customs officer upon returning to the States, he was incredulous. Lecturing me about how you can't leave to go to Cancun and reenter the States to reset a tourist visa. Well, fortunately not every country is as restrictive as our customs is! Seriously, I have always found the South Korean customs people to be incredibly chill compared to US customs.

do you have any recommendations for eating in the airport?? I am a transfer I guess as Korea is not my final stop but I do have several hours. Just looking for some authentic food. Havent found a good video yet for that. Thank you for your videos.

imma travel to Korea on the 18th of october. planning on staying for a month. Thanks so much for this. Calms my nerves. Anyway if I am not sure when I'm leaving. might be 4 weeks or 8 weeks if I really like it, would they mind at the desk were they ask you questions? I guess that is for giving you the visum right so they need an exact date when you leave... How does this work cause i'm not sure.

No mention of the Q-code... but just read an advisory effective July 15, 2023 that it is no longer needed. Not sure though if it is just country specific.

Hi! I'm going to layover in korea for 18 hrs and staying at the grand hyatt hotel that is 15 mins away from airport. Do i simply fill out the arrival card on the plane? From Canada, so no more K-ETA? Thats awesome! 😂 i wonder if i need to get my baggage or it auto transfers to next flight.

Hi Megan, I have a simless phone, iPhone 14 do I still need the sim card from Korea when I land?

Hi Megan! This was so useful, on the arrival card what do you write as your address (of where you are staying) if you are staying at more than one location? Thanks! :))

@YoshiToshiSamYou 11 ай бұрын

I think the most important is the adress if your first arrival stay . What if you changed your mind. So it's easy as that

Hello! As a foreigner/tourist do I have to do K-Eta and Q Code again when leaving South Korea?

@haesal27 11 ай бұрын

So even though KETA is not needed, I got it anyway. Should I still fill out the arrival card?

@samasan7027 25 күн бұрын

Update : Arrival Card is a must to fill in ( get from flight staff or near the immigration counter . Q code ( walk through health check checkpoint and they didnt ask for it), Custom declaration form unless you are required.

Hi, I have a transfer flight through Korea with a 12 hour layover and wanted to see some of Korea during this time, I figure this means I'll have to go through the usual entry process. I am from the UK so I don't need an eta but had a question about the arrival card, because its a transfer I don't have an accommodation nor will I have a phone number to put down - any advice as what to do in this scenario?

@samasan7027 Ай бұрын

the Arrival card is a must . What about Q-code ( health declaration form) and Custom declaration form? Tks

Thanks for the tips!! I love your videos ❤ they are super helpful!!! 😊. Q: my friends and I are going to Korea for the first time coming from US at the end of Sept. We fly to Jeju with a layover at Seoul, but flying out of Gimpo to get to Jeju. Does Jeju require anything that you may know of that we’ll need prior to arrival? And another dumb question sorry, but am I safe to assume our check-in luggage will be transferred during that layover or do we need to grab it before we head to Gimpo and re-check it in again?

@MeganOsten Жыл бұрын

No dumb questions!! ☺️ If you have a question then someone else probably has it too and that makes you smart for thinking of it 🫂♥️✨ *Anywhere in Korea to Jeju, from my understanding, has no requirements! It’s entering the country that matters. But please check the immigration website for updates on everything! *When you enter a country you usually have to get your bags re-checked. I am not sure if they will do this for you or if you will have to do this yourself. When I transferred through Seoul I don’t remember rechecking my bags but things may have changed. However, there will be signs that clearly say “transfer”, just make sure you’re going to the right one (transfers in Korea). Also, when you check-in for your first flight, you can ask them this question and they will tell you if you need to re-check the bag yourself or not. Safe travels ☺️✨

@@MeganOsten you are amazing! I honestly didn’t expect a reply let alone so quickly! ☺️. I do travel a lot to other countries as well but this Korea one I’m so excited it’s throwing me off. Lol. I will check the immigration website as you suggested and great idea about asking the flight attendant on the first leg, will do that as well. Again much appreciated on the timely response and advice. You’re truly a kind person and I really enjoy your videos!! Keep posting and be safe 🫶💖

Hello Megan and fellow youtubers! I was wondering, first timer to visit Korea in November. I hold a US Passport and will only be staying for 8 days with my family. I was reading that if you're staying for 90 days or more that your US Passport must have at least 6 months of validity before it expires. Is this also the same for short stay tourists? I know some people who have gone without any issues and their passport expired in less than the 6 months. I was trying to confirm with Immigration and they have no email address.

Hey Megan, I have a US Green card with Indian passport, travelling from US to Thailand via Incheon airport. There is a Layover of 12 hours in Incheon airport. I heard about free transit tours in the airport. Do I need any Visa for those tours? If so what Visa should I get and any links for that is appreciated. Thanks much

@shanebabcock6198 Жыл бұрын

I've been there often recently. I do the q-code ahead of time each time. I still fill out the arrival card on the plane (just in case). But in my experience, the immigrations officers have never asked me for it in addition to scanning my q-code. They only took it from me on my first trip there (when quarantine was still a thing).

@MeganOsten 11 ай бұрын

Yeah - they haven’t asked about it in a while (but a few months ago it was mandatory). But it’s such an easy document to fill out quickly - it’s kind of like… why not! Safe travels ☺️✨
