China Resumes Short Term Visas for South Koreans

China has announced resumption of short-term visas for travelers from South Korea.

According to Chinese Embassy in Seoul, the country will begin processing short-term visas for South Koreans for business, transit and other private affairs from Saturday.

China stopped issuing short-term visas to South Koreans in January after Seoul slapped COVID restrictions on travelers from China amid concerns Beijing’s sudden dismantling of its controversial zero-COVID policy.

This comes after Seoul scrapped pandemic-related travel restrictions that angered Beijing.
