Do Palau passport holders need a visa for South Korea?

No visa to apply for — Palau passport holders enter South Korea without one. Filing the Korea e-Arrival Card online ahead of time is optional — it is free on the official site, and the paper arrival card is still accepted at the counter.

Policy

Visa-free

Max stay

30 days

  • The official form is free, on the government’s own site.
  • Automation we built fills in your K-EAC under your supervision — you review it, change anything, and submit it yourself.
  • A credit is charged only after the official government site confirms it has your submission.
  • Your passport and trip details never leave your device — we have no way to read them; the one exception is the passport photo you choose to scan, which passes through a recognition service once; we keep no copy of it.

Your next step

Turn up with a passport that still has enough validity left, and be ready to show where you are staying and how you are leaving.

The K-EAC — what it means for you

Visa-free does not mean no arrival card — but you choose its form: the Korea e-Arrival Card online in advance, or the paper card at the counter. A K-ETA that is still valid excuses you from it.
