정부, 외국인 단기비자 효력 잠정 정지... 한국인 입국제한 국가 무비자입국 잠정 중단<br /><br />As COVID-19 continues to spread globally, and with South Korea seeing an increase in the number of imported cases, Seoul is temporarily suspending the validity of short-term visas.<br />Those issued before and on April 5th will no longer be valid.<br />On top of that, visa waivers for foreign nationals arriving from countries that restrict the entry of South Korean travelers will be suspended.<br />Not only will there be visa requirements, screening will become more strict.<br />All visa applicants will be required to submit medical examination reports that show that they do not have any COVID-19-related symptoms.<br />Just a few countries, including the U.S., UK, Ireland and Mexico will be excluded from this measure as they still allow South Koreans to enter their countries.<br />China is not subject to this as there is no visa waiver program between South Korea and China.<br />
