In 2020, South Korea canceled the entry and visa restrictions for Hubei personnel.

With the continuous improvement of the epidemic situation in China, many countries have begun to open visas to China. For example, South Korea just announced the cancellation of entry restrictions and visa restrictions for people from Hubei, which is also good news for everyone. Let's take a closer look at these!

South Korea lifted the entry and visa restrictions on Hubei people on the 7th. The South Korean epidemic prevention department announced that there were no new confirmed cases in Hubei due to the improvement of the COVID-19 epidemic in China, and South Korea would lift the entry restrictions and visa-related procedures for Hubei people from 10. Previously, South Korea restricted the entry of people whose passports were issued in Hubei, and the visas issued by the Korean Consulate General in Wuhan were temporarily invalid after February 4.

Previously, due to the influence of COVID-19 in China, the South Korean government adopted a policy of prohibiting entry to all foreigners who had visited Hubei Province within the previous 14 days, and took measures such as restricting entry to those who held passports issued by Hubei Province. Moreover, the Korean government temporarily suspended the validity of the existing visa of the Korean Consulate in Wuhan and also interrupted the visa issuance business of the Consulate General in Wuhan.

Kim's coordinator explained the adjustment of visa restrictions: "With the strong management of China and the recent lack of confirmed cases in Hubei Province, the China government has also started issuing visas to Korean nationals since August 5."

According to Yonhap News Agency's report on July 29th, South Korea's Central Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (hereinafter referred to as "Countermeasures Headquarters") designated China, Viet Nam and Cambodia as low-risk countries, and from that day on, Korean enterprises that went to these countries within 14 days were lifted entry quarantine measures.

In principle, all personnel entering Korea must undergo quarantine inspection for 14 days, and nucleic acid testing should be carried out within 3 days after entry. Previously, the government only granted isolation exemption to holders of diplomatic and official passports, visa-free holders of diplomatic and official passports, those who obtained investment from foreign embassies and consulates before entry, and those who participated in international conferences and visited Korea for public welfare and humanitarian purposes.

According to the countermeasures headquarters, the three countries with low epidemic risk were designated after comprehensive consideration of the travel needs of Korean enterprise personnel, the number of confirmed cases in each country and the situation and trend of overseas input. Therefore, Korean business people going to China, Viet Nam and Cambodia need not be quarantined for 14 days when the results of nucleic acid test are negative at the airport.

On the whole, if you go to Korea now, you can go without isolation, but the epidemic has not completely ended recently, so it is not recommended to go abroad. Let's wait for a while!
