K eta is not a visa, its just a permit. It can be used again and again until the expiration. I think. However, double check the info. I’m a secretary and only 2 mos ago, I assisted my boss to travel there who holds a sweden passport. If I recall, k eta is on hold indefinitely and not a requirement. Not sure about now so pls go to the site. The explanation, i can recall, are just easy to understand.

I dont see turkey on the list that needs a oermit,,, just double chexk it

How long is my K-ETA valid?

Once approved, your ETA is valid for one year or until your passport expires – whichever comes first. You can travel to South Korea as many times as you wish as long as your ETA remains valid.

That's not the official website. This is the correct one: https://www.k-eta.go.kr/

It's valid for 3 years (or passport exp date) and can be used multiple times until expiration.

On my K-ETA I can see this: "유효기간 / Expiration Date (yyyy/mm/dd)"

So if you have yours just check the expiration, it should be 3 years (mine is) and if it's valid you can use it.
