When applying for K-ETA, payment is required to complete the submission process.
Only internationally accepted credit or debit cards are allowed, and the name on the card must match the applicant’s information in some cases. Be sure to avoid duplicate payments by clicking the payment button only once and waiting until the transaction is processed. If your payment fails, do not refresh the page immediately—check your internet connection and card status first. Using an unstable connection or outdated browser may also cause errors during checkout. Keep a screenshot or confirmation of your transaction for reference. If you’re having trouble with the payment process or unsure about next steps, you can get help through ETAPORTAL, where Korean travel experts assist with smooth and secure application support.
