# M’sians Travelling to South Korea Must Submit e-Arrival Card 3 Days Before Touching Down

##### Travelling to South Korea must be on everyone’s bucket list, but if you’re planning a trip next year, there’s an important update to note.

The country is introducing an **e-Arrival card system**, replacing the traditional paper arrival form.

## Paper arrival cards to be phased out by end of 2025

According to [Visit Korea website](https://english.visitkorea.or.kr/svc/contents/contentsView.do?vcontsId=221425), starting **24 February 2025**, South Korea will implement the e-Arrival card, allowing visitors to submit their entry details **online before arrival**.

While paper arrival cards can still be used for now, they will be completely phased out after **December 2025**.

## Submit your e-arrival card in advance

Visitors can **submit their e-Arrival card up to three days before arriving in South Korea**—either on the day of arrival, one day prior, or two days prior, based on **Korean Standard Time**.

If the visitor does not enter the country within **72 hours after submission**, the e-Arrival card will be **invalid**.

## Submission process & key details

The form must be submitted via the **e-Arrival card website**, which is accessible on both **PC and mobile devices**.

Upon submission, visitors can **download a PDF copy**, although it is **not required** for immigration inspection.

For travellers under **14 years old**, a **family member or another person** must complete the form on their behalf.

The system also allows **group submissions**, making it easier for families or travel groups.

## Plan ahead for a hassle-free entry

With this new rule in place, it’s best to **plan ahead and submit your details online** before heading to South Korea.

For more information, visit the **[official e-Arrival card website](https://e-arrivalcard.go.kr/)** and ensure a smooth journey.
