Italy ETIAS for South Korean citizens
iVisa
3 min read
Updated on May 14, 2024

South Korean travelers, get ready for a new essential when planning your trip to Italy: the Italy ETIAS. As the Italy ETIAS is set to launch, South Korean citizens will soon find this as a new addition to their travel preparations. At iVisa, we're geared up to help you integrate this requirement smoothly into your itinerary. We’ll handle the application process so that your focus can remain on the beautiful experiences awaiting you in Italy.

Let us make the ETIAS application process easier for you so that you can plan an unforgettable Italian adventure, like soaking in the breathtaking views of Lake Como, discovering the ancient wonders of Pompeii, or enjoying the lively atmosphere of a street festival in Palermo.

Do South Korean citizens need an Italy ETIAS?

South Korean citizens currently enjoy the ease of visa-free entry to Italy and numerous other European countries, which has made their travel experiences much more straightforward.

However, a notable change is coming. Starting from mid-2025, South Korean nationals will need to secure an Italy ETIAS for short visits to Italy, whether for tourism, business, or transit reasons.

The European Travel Information and Authorization System, or ETIAS, was introduced in 2016. Its primary goal is to strengthen security across the Schengen Zone. Previously, South Korean passport holders, along with those from other visa-exempt countries, could travel freely to these regions with just a passport. The ETIAS adds an additional layer of security screening before travel, improving safety for everyone.

It's important to understand that the ETIAS is not a visa but a travel authorization. It's just like the US ESTA and the Canada eTA, which are designed to maintain security while facilitating easier travel.

One of the major perks of the Italy ETIAS is its broad coverage. A single ETIAS authorization allows South Korean citizens to visit all the countries participating in the ETIAS program. This is particularly beneficial for those who wish to explore multiple European destinations, as it consolidates travel formalities. The ETIAS acts as a single pass to various European experiences.
