## Evidence timeline

- **January 1, 2026 — Temporary K-ETA exemption with a 90-day stay rule** (Visa-free)
  The listed passports are temporarily exempt from K-ETA through 31 December 2026 and have a 90-day short-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.
  - GB represents the UK British Citizen entry, not every British nationality document.
  - 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.
