Korea Visa: Types, Documents & Jeju Visa-Free

Korea visa types, fees and the Jeju visa-free rule.

Single-entry (C-3-9) costs about ¥280, double-entry ¥360, multiple-entry ¥520, plus agency service fees. Priority adds ¥200–500.

Eligible if you are a university teacher, civil servant, have OECD travel history, earn ¥200k+, hold a US/Japan/Canada/Australia/NZ visa, or are a doctor/lawyer/professional. Officers may downgrade to single-entry at their discretion.

Jeju is visa-free for 30 days but requires direct flights only — you cannot transit via mainland Korea. Jeju visa-free does not cover the rest of Korea.
