The 6-month passport rule is a strict requirement enforced by many countries stating that your passport must remain valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. If your passport expires in less than 6 months from your travel window, airlines will frequently deny you boarding, and border control will refuse you entry—even if you only plan to stay abroad for a single week. The exact rules vary depending on how a specific country calculates those 6 months: 이런식으로 답이 줄줄 달렸는데 여기에서 끊고 복사해서 올립니다. 다시 한국에 적용해서 물어보니 이렇게 나오네요. The official rule for South Korea depends on whether you are visiting as a short-term tourist or arriving on a long-term visa: 1. For Short-Term Tourists (Visa-Free / K-ETA) If you are entering South Korea for tourism or short-term business (typically up to 90 days for U.S., UK, Canadian, and EU citizens), South Korea does NOT enforce the 6-month rule. According to the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the U.S. Department of State, your passport only needs to be valid at the time of entry and remain valid for the duration of your intended stay. ⚠️ The Big Catch: Airline Gate Agents Even though South Korean immigration will legally allow you to enter with a passport expiring in 2 or 3 months, individual airlines are notorious for mistakenly enforcing a blanket 6-month rule at check-in. If a gate agent misinterprets the database, they have the right to deny you boarding. To avoid a bureaucratic nightmare at the airport, it is still highly recommended to have a few months of buffer or a renewed passport. 결론은, 한국은 6개월 규정에 해당되지 않아서 여행기간동안 여권만료가 되지 않는다면 저처럼 문제없이 여행을 하실 수 있지만 특정 항공사가 딴지를 걸 수도 있다는 내용같아요. 대한항공은 전혀 문제 없었습니다. 예약하신 항공사에 확인을 하시는 것이 가장 확실한 방법같숩니다. (대한항공이라도 노선에 따라 다를 수도 있으니 확인하시는 것을 권합니다. 전 이런 것 전혀 생각하지 못하고 즐거운 한국 가족여행 잘 다녀 왔었네요.) 즐겁고 안전안 한국 여행하시기 바랍니다. I agree to the terms of service Comment
