4. Quick and automated approval process — applications are typically reviewed within 24 hours (exceptions may apply; actual processing time may vary)

2. It is strongly recommended to apply at least 72 hours in advance — to ensure smooth processing and avoid potential delays.

3. K-ETA policies are subject to change — Please confirm the latest requirements before applying.
