South Korea opens up visa-free travel to Jeju, Seoul, and Gangwon

South Korea is set to reinstate visa-free tourism to Jeju and Yangyang starting in June, allowing foreign travelers to stay in the country legally for 30 days without a visa.

The visa-free program was first introduced in Jeju in April 2002 with the aim of attracting foreign tourists but was suspended in February 2020 due to the outbreak of Covid-19 across the globe.

According to Interior and safety minister Jeon Hae-Cheol on Wednesday, the visa-free channel will allow tourists to stay for 30 days without a visa, though they will be restricted to Jeju, or if they travel to Yangyang – the Gangwon and the Seoul Metropolitan area.
