QUICK ANSWER

The shortest path

Convert HEIC to JPG, choose the correct Korea entry preset and keep the passport edges and MRZ lines visible. The current rule on the official portal always takes priority over a compatibility preset.

FAQ

Common questions

Why does Korea e-Arrival reject my iPhone photo?

Travelers commonly report HEIC and file-size compatibility problems. Converting to a clear JPG can help, but the official portal performs the final OCR and validation.

Does this guarantee K-ETA acceptance?

No. It only prepares a compatible image. Korean authorities decide technical acceptance and application approval.
