How this access rule is documented

  1. Visa-free

    Canada's temporary K-ETA exemption

    Canadian passport holders are temporarily exempt from K-ETA through 31 December 2026 and have a six-month stay rule.

    • The exemption ends on 31 December 2026 (KST) unless Korea extends it.
    • A traveller may still apply voluntarily for K-ETA to receive its stated arrival-card benefit, for the fee.
    • The route is for visa-free short entry for tourism, family visits, events, meetings, or non-remunerated business.
    • K-ETA is not a visa, and approval does not guarantee admission; immigration makes the final entry decision.
    • The nationality code does not flatten diplomatic, official, residence-card, crew, transit, ABTC, British-document, or other special cases.
    • Korea's e-Visa facility is limited to specified statuses and does not establish a general tourist eVisa for these passports.
