Those itinerary- or destination-specific exceptions do not establish an unconditional ordinary-passport classification for Korea as a whole. - The temporary K-ETA exemption remains effective through 31 December 2026 (KST) for its separately listed passports; no code in this policy is in the current K-ETA eligibility or temporary-exemption groups.
