Yes, You can also apply for other people at the same time and pay once for all, up to a maximum of 30 people. K-ETA fee is 10,000 KRW (additional fees excluded).
You can use debit cards or global credit cards such as VISA, Master, JCB, or Express to pay the fee.
Generally, the application will be automatically approved within 10 - 30 minutes, but if any issue arises, the K-ETA official will check and determine the traveler as "Selectee" or "Not OK" within 24 hours.
* Selectees will be sent to secondary inspection upon entry and will undergo an interview.
* If you are determined as "Not OK", you must apply for a Visa instead.

The following documents are required for a South Korea ETA online application:
- valid passport from an eVisa-eligible country
- valid debit or credit card to pay the Korea ETA fee
- current email address at which to receive a copy of the approved ETA for South Korea
- passport-sized photo in color.
Once approved, applicants will be able to present a printed copy of the approved K-ETA alongside their passport to gain entry to South Korea at a border entry point.
The passport you use to travel to South Korea must be the same one used to complete the ETA application form. Dual nationals with multiple passports should keep this in mind.
