Requirements for traveling to South Korea

Korea has eliminated all remaining COVID-related restrictions for arriving guests. This means that no pre-travel and post-arrival COVID-19 tests are no longer required. Additionally, proof of vaccination is also not required. However, travelers who exhibit symptoms, including fever and cough, upon arrival must be tested for COVID-19 at their own expense.

Guests are still encouraged to register their information through Korea’s Quarantine COVID-19 Defence (Q-code) system to shorten their entry time and streamline their arrival process.

As of April 1, 2023 through Dec. 31, 2024 KST, U.S. travelers entering into South Korea will be exempt from the requirement to obtain a Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA). Please note that travelers still have the option to apply for the K-ETA if they choose as those who have the K-ETA will not be required to submit an arrival card when entering Korea.

Returning to Oahu

The United States will no longer require non-U.S. citizens and non-U.S. immigrants entering the country by plane be fully vaccinated.
