Watch out for
Grenadian citizens can enter South Korea as a short term visit (e.g., tours, visiting relatives or friends, attending simple meetings) up to 90 days without a visa. You must also have an onward or return ticket. It is illegal to work on a tourist visa, whether as a teacher or in any other capacity.
You must be in possession of a Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) to enter Korea visa-free. You can complete your K-ETA application up to 24 hours before boarding your flight and it will be valid for two years from the date of approval. There is a small, non-refundable charge.
Overstay: 2009 saw concern raised over Chinese nationals who overstayed their visas.
Only www.k-eta.go.kr and the official mobile app are legitimate K-ETA channels; look-alike agencies charge high fees for agency or expedited service. [5]
The K-ETA fee is non-refundable even if your application is refused or rejected. [6]
If your card's overseas payment option is blocked, the K-ETA fee will not process; contact your card issuer. [6]
