Due to the spread of new variations of COVID-19, all foreign travelers coming into Korea from any country will have to provide a negative PCR test (standard COVID-19 test) upon arrival, starting from 2021.01.08. (Friday) 0AM (KST). Travelers without a negative PCR test will not be allowed to enter Korea.

The test should be taken within 72 hours before their departure to Korea, and should be submitted to the airport authorities once travelers arrive in Korea. Passengers using Korean airlines will need to present a negative PCR test before being able to board the plane.

The PRC test result should be an original document either in Korean or English.
