South Korea is taking steps to phase out its current paper arrival form system and replace it with e-Arrival cards, with the former expected to cease after December 2025.
The arrival declaration form can be submitted by visitors up to three days before entering South Korea – on the day of arrival, one day prior, or two days prior – based on Korean Standard Time.
The form can be submitted through the e-Arrival card website by entering the required information; the website supports both PC and mobile device.
While visitors can download a PDF file of their submitted form, it is not a requirement for entry inspection.
