The issuance of short-term travel visas (C-3) and electronic-visas in Korea will resume starting June 1, 2022. The visas were stopped 2 years ago due to the pandemic COVID-19.
According to the Immigration Control Enforcement Ordinance, a short-term visa allows foreigners to stay for up to 90 days for marketing research, travel, visiting relatives, meetings or similar reasons. E-visa is issued online for foreigners with excellent skills or group tourists.
E-visa for foreigners with excellent skills, foreign patients, and group tourists, which were suspended since April 6, 2020, will also resume issuance. E-visa provides a simpler way to receive a visa and can be applied at Korea Visa Portal.
Short-term Multiple Visas will also be valid since being suspended on April 13, 2020. Short-term Multiple Visas issued before April 5, 2020, with a valid period can be used without any additional measures.
The re-issuing will provide the influx of foreign tourists that will boost domestic demands and related industries, which will create jobs and help attract more foreign talents.
