South Korean passport holders can enter the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan, Tinian, Rota) under the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program for up to 45 days. No ESTA or US visa needed. No fee. Fill out the CBP Form I-736 on the plane or at the airport. Passport must be a biometric e-passport valid for at least 6 months. You need a return ticket on a participating carrier.
