- Work and Play in South Korea: Digital Nomad Visas and K-Culture Training for International Visitors 목차
The South Korean government has unveiled a comprehensive plan aimed at attracting 10 million foreign tourists in a bid to boost the domestic economy. Central to this plan is the expansion of the Electronic Travel Authorization System (K-ETA), which will offer multilingual services and be temporarily waived for 22 countries known for their high number of entrants and low entry refusal rates. E-visa issuance times will also be significantly reduced through the establishment of an online immigration complaint center.
New visa types, such as digital nomad visas (workation visas) and K-culture training visas, will be introduced in June, encouraging foreigners to spend more time in the country. Promotional events like free ticket lotteries, discount offers, and the nationwide 'Korea Duty-Free FESTA 2023' are set to draw in tourists from across the globe.
