From August 15, 2023, South Korean citizens will be exempted from visa unilaterally for up to 45 days and each entry will be exempt from visa for the equivalent period, creating favorable conditions for tourism activities, short-term investment, labor and visiting relatives in Vietnam.

This adjustment is intended to further strengthen the relationship between Vietnam and South Korea, two countries that have a history of strong cooperation and cohesion in many fields. Expanding visa and visa exemption periods for South Korean citizens will promote cultural exchanges, economic exchanges and promote comprehensive partnership between the two countries.

Firstly, the unilateral visa exemption with a visa duration of up to 45 days will create favorable conditions for South Korean tourists when they want to travel to Vietnam. A longer stay in Vietnam will allow them the opportunity to experience many attractive destinations, from the diverse natural landscape to the country's unique culture and rich cuisine.

Second, visa exemption for 45 days will also help promote business and investment activities of South Korean enterprises in Vietnam. Expanding the entry period helps Korean investors have a longer time to explore the Vietnamese market, explore business potential and build long-term sustainable development plans.

Third, the visa and visa exemption policy will also support short-term labor between the two countries. Increasing short-term labor between South Koreans and Vietnamese will provide high-quality human resources and contribute to the economic development of both countries.

Finally, visa and visa exemption also facilitates visiting relatives between the two countries. Families and relatives can easily visit each other, creating opportunities for family bonding and strengthening solidarity between the two countries.

The extension of visa and visa exemption periods for South Korean citizens is an important step in promoting cooperation and exchanges between Vietnam and Korea. It is hoped that this adjustment will create favorable conditions for tourism, investment, short-term labor and engagement between the people of the two countries in the future.
