From 3 September, travellers to South Korea will no longer need to present a negative pre-departure PCR test for entry to the country.
However, all arrivals will still be required to submit a health questionnaire and complete a PCR test at an airport clinic within 24 hours of landing in South Korea, remaining in their accommodation until they receive a negative result.
The relaxation of covid entry requirements comes as South Korea reports a downward trend in daily case numbers, with 100,000 new infections per day compared with 180,000 in mid-August.
