From April 1 of this year, the agreement between the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Government of the Republic of Korea on the mutual abolition of visa requirements for Kazakh citizens is resumed. It was previously suspended by the South Korean side due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, citizens of Kazakhstan - holders of national passports - will again be able to enter the Republic of Korea without visas for a period of not more than 30 days, Kazpravda.kz reports with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
If a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan plans to work, study and live in South Korea, then you need to obtain an appropriate visa.
“At the same time, the Republic of Korea currently has an electronic system for authorizing the entry of foreign citizens “K-ETA”, according to which foreigners arriving in the country under a visa-free regime are required to submit an electronic notification of the planned trip at least 24 hours before departure on the website www.k-eta.go.kr, followed by obtaining permission from the South Korean authorities to enter. In the absence of such permission, the airline will be forced to refuse the passenger to board the plane,” the Kazakh Foreign Ministry said.
In addition, the ministry recommended that Kazakhstanis traveling to South Korea to clarify in advance information about anti-epidemic measures in force in this state at the consular offices of South Korea on the territory of our republic.
