Next step **How we know** Access verified against an official source Stretch's rules pipeline checked the entry category against the destination's official publication and a reviewer signed it off. Stay length verified against an official source The stay length was checked against official evidence. Sources are listed further down the page. ## How the count works for Australians in South Korea You may stay up to 90 days. The recorded maximum applies to the current stay. Stretch does not assume that leaving creates a fresh allowance; check the evidence, entry stamp and any re-entry conditions. Stretch sets your must-exit date the day you log the entry and reminds you at 14, 7, 3 and 1 days out. ## Before you fly Stretch publishes no independently sourced arrival card or application checklist for this route. Use the official check labelled in the sources section before travelling. ## Notes from the rulebook Visa-free stay commonly 90 days. K-ETA (or successor pre-clearance) may be required — treat as authorisation document if you hold one. Current K-ETA country table directly requires K-ETA for this visa-free route and displays allowed period of stay exactly as “90 Days”. This text is intentionally not converted to days/window/reset fields. Temporary K-ETA exemption only through 2026-12-31; this removes the electronic authorisation requirement for the independently named visa-free cohort and does not itself establish a stay duration or reset rule. ## Sources - **Evidence for the rule:** Official: www.k-eta.go.kr — checked 2026-08-26 - **Official check:** [k-eta.go.kr](https://www.k-eta.go.kr/portal/guide/viewetaalification.do), retrieved 2026-08-21 - **Official check:** [k-eta.go.kr](https://www.k-eta.go.kr/portal/guide/viewetaapplication.do?locale=EN), retrieved 2026-08-26 - **Official check:** [overseas.mofa.go.kr](https://overseas.mofa.go.kr/ch-en/brd/m_23429/view.do?page=1&seq=22), retrieved 2026-08-26 ## Questions Australians ask about South Korea **Can Australians enter South Korea without a visa?** Yes.
