Since the beginning of April 2022, South Korea once again allows fully vaccinated international travellers to enter the country without quarantinethe destination having relaxed its coronavirus restrictions. However, a negative screening test is still required for entry.
At the same time, Incheon International Airport reported that its Friday passenger traffic should exceed 20,000 for the first time in almost two years.
However, South Korean health authorities said the quarantine mandate could be reduced depending on the situation. "We will continue to monitor each country's virus risks in the event of situations such as the emergence of a new variant of concern, and we will designate and manage the range of quarantine exemptions by country in a flexible manner."said Jeong Eun Kyeong, Commissioner of the Korean Disease Control and Prevention Agency.
Moreover, in recent days, South Korea has relaxed its social distancing measures, raising the maximum number of social gatherings from eight to ten people and extending the curfew in restaurants and other indoor spaces to midnight.
As a reminder, South Korea had begun imposing border restrictions in March 2020 to curb the spread of the coronavirus. These measures contributed to the country's success in responding to the virus, but were criticized by returning citizens and foreign visitors who came for business or other reasons.
To date, with the introduction of the quarantine exemption, South Korean airlines and travel agencies have reported an increase in demand. Our team can help you obtain the K-ETA, the document required to visit South Korea..
