South Korea is scrapping the need for visas or fees for tourists from 22 countries including the US starting from 1 April. The country’s Ministry of Economy and Affairs believes the move will create a seamless entry process to become more appealing to tourists to hit its target of 10 million visitors to the country within a year. The permitted countries are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Macau, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, UK and the US. Visitors from countries not included must continue to go through the K-ETA process at least three days before entering South Korea. The country also plans to increase the number of international flights to match pre-Covid frequencies.
