Starting on February 11, 2023, the Korean government has announced the reissuance of short-term visit visas with COVID-19 testing requirements still in place. However, the testing mandate is expected to end sooner than previously anticipated.
Until the end of February, all visitors entering South Korea from China, Hong Kong, and Macau must undergo COVID-19 testing prior to their arrival. This includes either a COVID-19 PCR test taken within 48 hours of departure or a rapid antigen test taken within 24 hours of departure, with a negative result required.
