From June 8, non-vaccinated travellers will be exempt from quarantine.
In his press release of Friday June 3, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo declared that the mandatory 7-day quarantine for travelers would be lifted as of June 8.
The lifting of pandemic-related restrictions on air travel comes at a time when demand for foreign travel is increasing following the removal of social distancing rules and the slowdown in the spread of Covid-19.

Precautionary measures are therefore being maintained, despite a determination to regain pre-pandemic momentum. This negative certificate will be included in the government Q-Code pre-entry systemwhich is due to be revised in the near future for "greater online convenience", explained the Prime Minister.
Flight restrictions currently in force at Incheon International Airport will also be lifted for optimize flight operationsThe measures in place have had a major impact on the sector (ticket availability, price rises, etc.).
