ATTENDEES

Int'l Attendees

Many of the attendees at KINGCA 2017 arrive from countries outside Korea, and KINGCA Week 2017 Administration’s goal is to make their entire experience as hassle-free and rewarding as possible.

Korea Visas

Foreign nationals entering Korea to attend KINGCA Week 2017 are generally required to have a valid passport and a Korean visa assigned by overseas branch of Korean embassy or consular offices. However, many are now permitted visa-free for a limited period under certain conditions following the "Citizens of the Countries under the Visa Exemption Agreement”. Any visitor from a country that has no diplomatic relations or no special visa exemption with Korea should obtain an entry visa before coming to Korea. If you are uncertain as to the requirements for entry visas to the Republic of Korea, please contact the Korean Embassy or the consulate nearest to you as soon as possible.
