K-ETA Photo Tips
When applying for your K-ETA, ensuring your photo meets the required specifications is crucial. Below, you’ll find essential guidelines for uploading your passport and face photos.
Guidelines for Passport Photos
- You can only use PNP, JPG, and JPEG file formats for your passport information photo.
- Ensure that your passport information is clearly visible without any obstructions or reflections.
Personal Information on Your Passport
- Double-check the country that issued your passport.
- Remember, K-ETA is different from a visa. For visa inquiries, please reach out to the Korean consulate in your country.
Key Points to Remember
Before proceeding, please refer to the sample passport photo provided below. Remember, if you fail to upload a valid passport image, we cannot take responsibility for any issues that may arise from discrepancies between the information you provide and your actual passport details.
- File Size: Your passport image should be no larger than 300 KB.
Face Photo Requirements
After reviewing the sample headshot below, make sure to upload a file that complies with the following criteria. Submitting a photo that doesn’t meet these standards can lead to penalties or rejection of your application:
- Color Photo: Ensure the photo is in color.
- Dimensions: The photo width should be 700 pixels, with a file size of 100 KB or less.
- File Formats: Acceptable formats are JPG and PNG only (RAW files are not allowed).
- Appearance: Avoid wearing patterned clothing, hats, scarves, or sunglasses.
- Visibility: At least 75% of your face should be visible, with your eyes open and looking straight at the camera.
Be cautious—overly colorful backgrounds or unclear images may result in your K-ETA being rejected or invalidated.
Details for Face Photos
- The dimensions should not exceed 700 pixels, either horizontally or vertically.
- Use only PNP, JPG, and JPEG files.
- Make sure your entire face is visible—no hats, sunglasses, or scarves.
Please take a moment to check the sample face photo to ensure your submission meets all the required standards. If your uploaded photo fails to comply, your K-ETA permit application may be rejected.
To ensure a smooth application process for your K-ETA, please adhere to these guidelines when submitting your photos. Following the requirements will help you avoid any issues and facilitate a successful application.
