Update: As of April 1, 2023 to Dec 31, 2024, the K-eta Visa is no longer required for 22 countries for stays of 90 days or less. You may check their website on my description box if your country is included for visa free.
Yeah! US citizens doesn’t need visa anymore 🎉
Thanks for the clarification. I will be doing this in Feb 2024. I was told, yours now need to be booked online prior to arriving in Korea can you verify this?
Hi do we need to register online to avail this?
I always do this whenever i have layover. I always go to myeongdong. Just came 2 days ago. Its my 5th time doing it since 2016
To those who have a flight to USA and have a layover in Korea, you dont need a K-ETA or Korean Visa so as long as you have a valid US visa :)
thanks for the clarification
thank you so much for sharing! after the tour, do we still have to go through immigration before heading back to terminal 2?
@@rhonafaye1528 yes, you have to go back through immigration, at least that's what i've heard from someone who has recently done it..although the process is swift.
Is it that true if have flight go to USA don’t use K-ETA while layover because I got denied from that 😢
@@ariareeyanetwong-oe2tr hi yes, ive known people who recently flew to USA last month with layover in korea who did not need to present K-ETA.
I am having a flight that will layover in South Korea for 13hrs and I will definitely do the transit tour! Thanks for sharing your experience:)
Have fun Lexi! 😊
thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks for sharing. That is good information to know. Fascinating to see what all they offer to show you.
Thanks for Share this. Didn't know there was such a tour and its free too. Wow, amazing! Will definitely do this if ever transiting there but I hope I will actually get to go there for a holiday.
Thanks for watching my video Lisa! Hope you could try this in the future. 😊
Nice video! As a Korean, it's nice to see travelers doing a transit tour while having a layover in Korea. I also try to go outside when there's enough time while transiting. Hope you had a great time here!
Very helpful video
i didnt know you can do 2 tours in one layover. good to know. my upcoming trip i have a 15 hr layover
Hi I just watch your video, what else places that you can visit there? Include in the tour
1. Are you allowed to leave the tour group and go back to the airport on your own? We arrive at Incheon at 5am and our flight is 8:40pm. I was thinking we could join one of the morning tours then just go wherever we want for the rest of the day... and then go back to Incheon 4 hours before our flight.
2. How did you re-enter the airport? What did immigration ask you to present? Will your boarding pass be enough?
Thanks for your video. I'm planning to come in Korea!
Awesome! That’s exciting! 😊
Did u
Good choice of background music.
한국에 오신걸 환영해요😀💛
감사합니다 💖
I fly to Seoul tomorrow, 15 hr flight and a 15hr layover in Incheon. Im excited to play Pokemon Go in Seoul 🥰
Hi! How long will the free tour last?
Do they have night tour? My lay over from 4 pm my flight is 10am the next day
Excited to go to Korea! Thanks for this Video! 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching Krizza! 😊
What about for philippine passport holder? I remember 6 years ago we were allowed to get out of the airport as long as you have a connecting flight to and from US.
Hi, I really like your video, I'll have 13h here but my flight will land in 14:00 and take off at 10:20 so could I join the free transit tour?
Thanks for the vdo! I am doing the same tour in coming April.
Did you have to get a new boarding pass when you catch the next flight?
I already got all my boarding passes at the counter in LA. 😊 Enjoy your tour! 😊
Do you know if it is possible to stay at the transit hotel after returning from the free tour?
Question : Is it easy to get around in korean and get out from airports? i have 15 hours of layover
Hi, do you have book in advance for the tour? And can you book 2 tours in one day? Thank you in advance
This is so helpful! I'm curious about something, is the 1st layover tour ended and you're back on the airport on time? I'm worried because i only have 1 hour and 20 minutes spare from the time the tour ended to my connecting flight departure. Do you think my timeline's doable?
Hi Eunice, I signed up for this tour online but didn’t give me a time option for a 5 hour tour. How do I sign up for that?
Thank you
If I want to go outside without signing for any tour and I also have US visa, do I need any paper work for that
thanks for sharing .. this is the first time we will do this. but we have 8hr layover only.
do u think we can avail the tour?
and what will be the documents needed ? thank u!
Pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱 też kiedyś odwiedze Korea 🇰🇷 🙂👍
Thanks for watching my video 😃
K1 visa can avail the transit tour?how much?
Do I still need a visa since my layover is only 11 hrs
Hello. I will be having a 14hrs layover, is it okay to leave the airport or need to have K-ETA?
Is the tour sched end time the estimated airport arrival or the time when you head back to the airport? I'm planning to avail the tradition tour which ends at 1pm and my next flight is scheduled at 4pm.. I'm worried I wouldn't have enough time 🙃
Do you need to make a reservation in advanced for the transit tour? Nice video btw!
Thanks.
No. You can just register on the same day.
i want to go outside the airport to explore the city on my own bc i have a 15 hour layover. when you arrive at the airport, do you go to the "immigration" section or go to the "transfer" section? im a bit confused idk where to go when i get off the plane
Does the bus wait for you guys?
Does anyone know of night tours? our layover is late, but i heard night life is big in Korea.
nice video, btw do u have to pass thru immigration or tsa if you come back to the airport?
Thanks for watching! Yes, you would need to go through the immigration and tsa. Same process. 😊
Hello, I have a 13 hour layover coming up in SK-- two questions -- Are there showers available in the airport currently that you know of? And have you ever thought about take the train from the airport into Seoul? Thank you in advance
I know there are shower rooms around the airport that you can use. With regard to the second question, I have taken a train from the airport to Seoul before when I visited Korea with my family but I’ve not done it during a layover.
Hi po, quick question. If I am a permanent resident of the US and have a green card. What are the requirements? Do I need to have K-ETA or transit visa to join the tour? Thank you!
Will you still need a visa if you have a gc but still holds Philippine passport?
Hi! Ceb,Ph- Incheon (13hrs lay over) - YYZ
Do we need KETA visa to go and explore south korea while we're transiting? Hope to get an answer po. Thank you 🙂
Do u need korean visa? If u have usa visa?
Hi... I'm from Indonesia to the US ... home from the US transit in Korea one day ... what before I get home Indonesia I can join the transit tour ??
I have a transit in September… seen many kdramas .. want to go to happening places in Seoul like N- Seoul tower .. pls suggest
You can try Gyeongbokgung palace or Hongdae.
Hi! What month were u there?Any document needed to avail the tour?or any visa since you're exiting the airport?Thanks.
I was there in February this year and was back in Seoul late March as well. They only need your passport and boarding pass.
Hi. Thanks for the video! 😊 We are planning to explore Seoul, Korea as well for our layover. Do we really need to apply for a visa/ k eta to visit the City?
Yes, you would need a valid visa to enter Korea. You can also check their website on my description box for more details. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@theeunicealvarez but if we’ll join the transit tour we don’t need a visa right? Just the K-ETA?
@@viralvidz8380 The k-eta visa or a valid Korean visa is to be used to enter Korea. Once you have any of those visas whichever is required for your country of citizenship, then you can enter the country and join the tour.
hi i am K-eta excempt and would like to avail of the free transit tour, do i still fill the 3 forms/card you showed in the video when passing through immigration? Also, if i arrive in Terminal 1 but connecting flight is in Terminal 2, do you advice doing immigration and tour reservation in Terminal 2?
I have the same question, can you please answer thanks
I tried to book the transit tour online but its booked! Is it always get booked? Can i just get on the tour on the day we get there?
You can also register on the day you arrive
Hi, thanks for the video. Did you need covid test to enter korea? I’m not sure if they are still requiring us to be tested, my flight is in 2 months.
No covid test needed
hey! i’m planning on leaving the airport durning my layover. What did you write as the address on your arrival card? and was it easy getting back in to the airport after you were back!!
I didn’t write any address. I told them that I was joining the free transit tour. Then, they checked my boarding pass for my next flight.
hi mam when and how to apply po for korean visa to join the free transit tour during layover? my fee po ba for the visa? thank you po 😊
Hi! I already reserved a transit tour at ICN terminal 2 for my Korea layover. But the tour will end 30 mins before my departure for my next flight. Do you think its risky to join the tour?
Is 30 mins enough to catch my flight?
Sorry haven’t been to ICN airport before hehe
Can you share the link where you made your reservation?
❤ May i know the process to return back the airport. Do we need to go to check in counter or direct to the customs area? Thank you
We just went straight to the immigration since we already have our boarding passes and we didnt have any bags to check in.
@@theeunicealvarez thank you so much
Are there hotels inside the airport if we just wanted to stay in the airport ??
Yes, I believe there’s a hotel inside the airport. There’s also a rest area.
Hi maam paano po kung may visa immigrant pero manila -korea lay over like 10hr pwede po namin sya ma avail?
Do you need a korean visa even if you dont leave the airport and only transiting through korea?
No visa needed if you’re only transiting and not planning to go out of the airport.
Unfotunately my lay-over is from afternoon to mid-morning next day. So no tours anymore, it seems.
You can check their website to see their tour schedule 😊
Hi. Thanks for this! planning on visiting Hanoi with a layover in Korea. I just wanna ask, if I have a layover in Incheon do I still need to get a visa to join the transit tour if I'm traveling from the Philippines?
Yes, you can check the link on my description box to see if your passport is eligible for K-eta. If not, you need a valid korean visa.
Does k eta apply to US citizen ? Thanks !
Yes, US citizens can apply for K-eta.
Hi, do i need to choose transfer or arrival if i want to join the transit tour? I have 13hrs until my next flight. Thank you
If both ways have a long layover, it’s up to you to choose when you want to do this tour. 😊
@@theeunicealvarez so there will be a booth when i transfer in incheon airport? Thank you
@@inmengl_1544 yes, you can see one booth before the immigration. But I believe they open at 7am. The main desk is after the immigration- the arrival floor as shown in the video.
@@theeunicealvarez thanks for your information, i’m looking forwards for the tour😊🤝🏻
Hi Ms. Eunice. Just booked my flight last night with a 13hr layover in ICN Airport. So glad that I saw your vids.
Question lang po, I'm a Filipino Citizen and I'm bound to Canada with a valid Student Visa. Need ko pa rin po ba ng korean visa if I want to take this tour or K-ETA na lang po?
Hello Jennifer! thanks for watching my video. Yes, you still need a Korean visa to do this tour. They previously changed the policy post Covid. They now require visa to do this transit tour in Korea. You can apply your visa in the Philippines at least 3 months before the flight. 😊
@@theeunicealvarez what type of visa po kaya? Transit visa will do? 13hrs layover lang po
@@jennifermaebuaron514 I was trying to reply to your msg on Instagram but the message was gone. I believe you have to apply for the regular tourist visa. I don’t think they have a transit visa because anyone can transit to Korea but if you want to go out of the airport, you need to have a valid visa. For non-visa countries passport holder, they only need to apply for K-eta visa at least 72 hrs before the flight. 😊
@@theeunicealvarez sorry, I deleted it kasi I saw you already replied here. Hehe. Thank you so much for accommodating my questions po. I'll try to apply for a korean visa na lang. I'm a KDRAMA fan and iiyak talaga ako pag di ako nakalabas ng airport. Lol. Thank you so much for this informative vlog. More power po
@@jennifermaebuaron514 no problem. If you’re a Kdrama fan, you’ll definitely love Korea. 😊
Phillipine passport holder with green card is eligible as long as they have a connecting flights
Hello po. I’m a Philippine Passport Holder pero manggagaling po ko from Vancouver then layover sa Incheon then PH. Need ko pa po ba ng Korean Visa?
Hi! I have a Canadian student visa and my final destination is Canada. I have a 12 hrs layover at ICN airport. I am travelling from India. Can I do the transit tour on my Canadian student visa or do I need to apply for a Korean visa for a 5 hrs tour?
Hello! I believe you would need to get your valid Korean visa to enter Korea even if you have your Canadian student visa. They previously changed their policy post covid regarding transit passengers who want to go out of the airport. You can also check the link on my description box for more information.
Thank you!
Hi! I have connecting flight from the Philippines to Hawaii. But we also have a 16-hour long layover at Incheon. Do we still need to apply for a transit visa or K-ETA?
Hello! Yes, k-eta or valid korean visa is now required to enter Korea.
@@theeunicealvarez gotcha! I was browsing through the K-ETA website but I can't seem to find the Philippines... So I don't know what to register. But thank you for responding!
@@nievamaorizabala6915 if you have Philippine passport, then a valid Korean visa is required.
@@theeunicealvarez Oh I see, thank you so much! 💖
Hmmmm.... But if she has a US visa and coming to or going to US with layover in S. Korea I dont think she still needs a KETA unless rules have been changed now.
Pag layover po b kailangan p b na q code k-eta khit di nmn lalabas sa airport?
If you are there only to transit and you’re not planning to go outside the airport, no need to apply for K-eta or qcode.
Hi, wala kasi akong nakitang PH sa site for K-ETA.
May 11hrs layover ako sa Incheon from San Francisco to PH. And I am planning to avail the transit tour.
Allowed ba pag PH Passport to apply K-ETA? For transit tour?
No need for visa if layover lang sa Korea.
Do i need visa if ph passport?
Yes, valid korean visa is required to enter.
Hi, i have a 12 hour layover in ICN airport. First international travel po, do i need to have a korean visa po ba?
Ph passport -migrating to U.S po. (Thank you so much po, ako lang po kasi mag ttravel mag isa kaya wala po idea 😅)
@@trishpilapil5829 hello! If you’re planning to go outside the airport, you may need to have a valid Korean visa to enter Korea. You may also double check the website on my description box for more details.
Hi Ms Eunice. Thnk you for your video. What if PH passport holder po peru mag lay over sa korea ng 15hrs going to japan. Can we go out or join the group tour po or need po ng visa? Thanks!

@@nicomaniego4595Hi May I know if you have a US visa, no Korean visa, will you be allowed to join the transit tour?
I have to transit and stay from 7pm to 10am next day, what can I do can u advice, ??thx❤❤
Unfortunately, the transit tour is closed during those hours until 7am. I am not pretty sure what else you can do.
Just wanna ask din po pala how about connecting flights PHLS-INCHEON-VANCOUVER need pa po ba nag signup sa KETA
As of April 1, 2023 to Dec 31, 2024, the K-eta Visa is no longer required for 22 countries for stays of 90 days or less. You can check their website on my description box if your passport is included.
Question lang po naka pag lay over na po ba kayo sa korea ano na po ang mga requirements nyo?
I am a Pakistani national holder.
And I have to go to Japan from Pakistan.
And I have to stop on the Incheon Airport for 48 hours on the way.
And can I get Korea transit visa for 48 hours.
Because I have to see and Seoul city for few hours.
Please let me know about it?
You can check the link on my description box to check the countries allowed for K-eta visa. If your country is not there, you may need to apply for a valid visa to enter Korea.
@@theeunicealvarez Thank you 🙏💕
Good day po, needed pa po ba ang visa for a layover in Korea? Destination po namin Hanoi. Bale from Manila layover po ng 2hrs sa incheon tapos from incheon to hanoi.
Medyo confused po how things work, first time po kasi.
Thank you for this insightful video!
No need ng Korean visa if layover lang. Required lang ang visa if lalabas ng airport to explore Korea.
@@theeunicealvarez Super appreciate your fast reply po 🥹 thank you
Hello, tanong lang po may layover ako ng 1HR sa Seoul Incheon South Korea. Need ko pa po ba mag fill up ng K-ETA?
Hello! No visa needed if you’re only transferring in Korea.
Yun po yung parang e-travel nila? So hindi ko na po need mag apply.
@@mariakristinamartin if you’re planning to go outside the airport, you may need to have a valid Korean visa. Pero since you mentioned 1 hr lang ung layover mo in Korea, you don’t need a visa for your layover.
Ok po. Thank you so much!
@@theeunicealvarez hai maam I just to clarify , if I need to apply k-ETA if may lay over is 4hours and no plan to go out the airport? Thank you soo much
Hi ate! Im going to Philippines and on my way back from Philippines to Canada I have a 14hr layover. Can I still do this tour or I can only do this if I have the longer layover from Canada to Incheon then Manila?
Yes, you can do this tour during your layover.
Hi mam from ph flight ku bukas pa Miami peru may lay over akung 12hours sa korea pwedi kaya aku mag free transit tour dun
Hello! Thanks for watching my video. You can join the transit tour if you have a valid visa to enter Korea.
@@theeunicealvarez ai need kuba ng visa pala sa kanila kasi final destination ku sa Miami bali mag lay over lang aku ng incheon for 12hours po tas 6:30 ng hapun ang alis ku pa atlanta so Us visa lang po merun aku at schengen
@@seamanieroPH yes po. Before kasi they allow transit passengers to enter korea without visa. Pero post pandemic, nag higpit sila, they now require K-eta visa for non-visa countries or valid Korean visa to enter Korea. You can also check their policy on the link on my description box to make sure.
Need vaccination card?
They didn’t ask for vaccination card when I entered Korea.
