Tourist visas and K-ETA
Thai nationals need a tourist visa before travelling to South Korea, submitted at the Korea Visa Application Center (KVAC) as the embassy directs.
Marriage and work visas
The marriage migrant visa (F-6) has language and income conditions for the Korean spouse; work visas require a sponsoring employer in Korea.
Translations and certification
Thai documents for long-term visas must be translated into Korean or English as the embassy requires and certified through the legalisation chain.
Frequently asked questions
What if my tourist visa is refused?
You may reapply with changed evidence, such as clearer finances or employment.
Is a Korean language test needed for a marriage visa?
Generally yes; check the latest requirements with the embassy.
Does K-ETA replace a visa for Thais?
Check the current Korean rules before travel: K-ETA requirements for Thai nationals have changed over time and exemptions may be temporary.
