For participants who require a visa, please send the following details to newlci2020@gmail.com:

• A clear scan of your passport

• Your phone number

• Your complete mailing address (only if notarized and physical documents are required)

• If you reside in a country different from your nationality, or if there is no Korean Embassy/Consulate in your country, please specify which country’s Korean Embassy/Consulate you will apply through.

⚠️ Important Criteria:

Visa supporting documents will only be issued to confirmed delegates whose email is registered in the official hotel booking system.

For participants who do not require a visa, you may still need to apply for a K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization). Please confirm your eligibility and apply, if necessary, at 👉 www.k-eta.go.kr

1. Jeju Visa-Free Entry Policy

• Jeju Island is designated as a special tourism zone, allowing many travelers to enter visa-free for up to 30 days, provided they arrive directly by international flight or ship.

• Important: This visa-free policy does not apply if you transit through another Korean airport (Incheon, Gimpo, etc.) before reaching Jeju.
