About this tool
Draft a C-3 short-term visit cover letter with itinerary, the 90-day sojourn limit, visa validity and fee totals.
The South Korea Visa Cover Letter Builder writes the covering letter for a C-3 short-term visit visa application and checks the dates behind it. A short-term visit visa permits a sojourn of up to 90 days counted with the day of entry as day one, a single-entry visa lapses three months after issue whether or not it was used, and the standard consular fee is US$40 single entry, US$70 double and US$90 multiple. The tool applies all three to your dates and party size, and flags a passport short of the six-month rule.

Day of entry counts as day one, so the 90-day end date in the letter matches the one immigration applies.
Shows the date a single-entry visa lapses, which is a different date from the end of your permitted stay.
Applies the US$40 / US$70 / US$90 short-term bands and multiplies by the number of applicants.
Up to 90 days, and the day of entry counts as the first day. The exact period of sojourn is stamped on entry. To stay longer you must apply for an extension through HiKorea before that period expires — it is never granted automatically, and overstaying carries fines and entry bans.
The standard consular fees for short-term visas of up to 90 days are US$40 for single entry, US$70 for double entry and US$90 for multiple entry, per applicant. Some nationalities pay a reduced fee or none at all under bilateral agreements, and missions may add a local service charge, so check the page for the embassy that covers your area.
No. K-ETA is the electronic travel authorisation for travellers entering Korea visa-free. If you hold a visa you enter on the visa and do not apply for K-ETA as well. Applying for both wastes the fee and creates confusion at check-in.
A single-entry short-term visa must be used within three months of the date of issue; after that it lapses even if you never travelled. That validity window is separate from the length of stay it grants, so a visa issued in February for a June trip may expire before you fly.
