South Korea

Aevamo’s reading

The MOFA inbound table is the responsible ministry's consolidated statement of the visa-free entry regime for Korea: its '[외국인용]' section enumerates the countries/regions whose ordinary-passport holders may enter Korea without a visa, with each entry's stay and legal ground (협정/상호주의/일방적 면제). The default — that a visa is required in principle — is stated by the ROK Embassy pages (keta-ireland: 'Country not-eligible for K-ETA → Visa'). The underlying statute (Immigration Control Act Article 7) could not be fetched because law.go.kr renders via JavaScript; the MOFA table and the MOJ K-ETA portal list are the authoritative administrative sources actually held.

The MOFA page states the principle that a visa is required in principle for cross-border movement, and its inbound table is the exhaustive list of countries/regions whose ordinary-passport holders may enter Korea without one; every issuer in this row appears on none of the held visa-free lists (keta-eligible, the MOFA inbound table, the Hi Korea designated and Jeju lists, the K-ETA exempt lists), so the visa requirement applies to them.
