中国驻韩国使领馆自本星期六(2From the 18th), it will restore the issuance of short -term visas for South Korean citizens to visit, business, transit, and general private affairs.

The WeChat account of the Chinese Embassy in Korea announced the above news at 9 am on Wednesday (February 15).

Earlier, South Korea announced that it will resume a short -term visa to Chinese citizens from last Saturday (February 11).

After China released the epidemic prevention and control policy early December last year, South Korea was worried that it would be affected by the outbreak of the Chinese epidemic. From January 2, the issuance of a short -term visa for Chinese citizens to South Korea was suspended.The measure was originally scheduled for the end of January, and then extended to the end of February.

The Chinese government regards these measures as a discriminatory inbound restriction on Chinese citizens, proposed countermeasures in early January, and suspended the issuance of short -term visas for Korean citizens to China and port visas.

The South Korean government said that the restrictions on visa restrictions in advance, because the Chinese epidemic is over the peak and stabilized, and the positive rate of immigration personnel from China remained at a lower level.
