A Dutch residence permit does not make you visa-exempt for South Korea. Visa waiver / K-ETA depend on your nationality, not on a Dutch residence card. If your nationality is not exempt, you need a visa for tourism and for work/internship/study even with a Dutch permit.
Netherlands passport, ≤90 days: per NLWW, no visa through 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027 still no visa for ≤90 days, but a K-ETA is required. Longer than 90 days: visa required.
Temporary K-ETA exemption until 31 Dec 2026 (VISITKOREA): Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau; US (incl. Guam), Canada; UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Austria; Australia, New Zealand. Other waiver nationalities: check the official Korea Visa Portal / K-ETA — we do not invent a full world list.
Work, internship and study always need the matching visa; short-stay waiver does not cover them.
Study beyond short stay requires a student visa. The tourist waiver does not cover that.
