Recently, with the gradual easing of the epidemic in COVID-19, personnel exchanges between China and South Korea have gradually resumed. In order to further prevent the epidemic from being imported, from May 1 day, 2023, all China residents going to South Korea will have to pass the Health Code for Overseas Travel of China Citizens before they can go to South Korea. At the same time, for those who have not been vaccinated or have been vaccinated for less than 14 days, a nucleic acid test report is also required. In addition, according to the current epidemic situation, South Korea has implemented different levels of epidemic prevention measures for immigrants. People from countries with high epidemic risk, including China, are required to be observed in isolation for 14 days. For people from other countries and regions, voluntary isolation or nucleic acid testing is needed. It should be noted that due to the uncertainty of the epidemic situation, the policy may change at any time, so before going to South Korea, you should check the relevant policies and epidemic information in time.
Are there any other requirements that need attention? According to the requirements of the Korean Embassy in Korea, China residents traveling to South Korea should complete the entry declaration procedures on their mobile devices within 24 hours after arriving in South Korea, otherwise they will be required to return to China. At the same time, due to South Korea's strict foreign exchange management policy, people who travel to South Korea need to pay attention to carrying enough foreign exchange funds in order to enter the country smoothly.
From May 1 2023, China residents will have to pass the examination of "Health Code for Overseas Travel of China Citizens". South Korea must abide by the relevant regulations when implementing different levels of epidemic prevention measures for immigrants. Before going to Korea, you should check the relevant policies and epidemic information in time to avoid unnecessary trouble.
