How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeETA

    RU passport: K-ETA with a specific stay rule

    This passport uses K-ETA for qualifying visa-free short entry; the live table states 60 days in a row, not exceeding 90 days within 180 days.

    • The live eligibility table states 60 days in a row, not exceeding 90 days within 180 days.
    • 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.
