KOREA e-ARRIVAL CARD ⚠️ DON’T USE THE WRONG WEBSITE 🇰🇷 The official link sent by our airline wasn’t working during our first few tries, so we searched for the e-Arrival Card online instead. We ended up on a very similar-looking website and started entering our personal information before realizing… IT WASN’T THE OFFICIAL KOREAN GOVERNMENT WEBSITE. 😭 Thankfully, we caught it before going any further. ⚠️ If you’re traveling to Korea, make sure you’re using the OFFICIAL e-Arrival Card website: 👉 www.e-arrivalcard.go.kr Look for “.go.kr” in the website address.
