  • K-ETA does not apply to Vietnamese citizens — you still need a Korea visa.

How it works

Three steps to a compliant 35x45 mm Korea visa photo from a phone shot.

  1. Upload your portrait

    Pick a straight-facing photo, eyes on camera. An iPhone or Android selfie in good light works fine.

  2. Auto-edit

    AI crops to 35x45 mm, removes the background and replaces it with white, then validates against Korea visa rules.

  3. Download the compliant file

    Receive a 35x45 mm, 300 DPI file by email — ready to submit or print.
