You need a visa (C-3 short-term visit)

The bottom line
- A C-3 short-term visit visa covers tourism, business or visiting family, with no paid work.
- Complete the application online (the visa portal e-Form), then submit it with your passport and supporting documents.
- Some nationalities are instead visa-free with a K-ETA — confirm your exact requirement on the official K-ETA site.
