The period that foreigners can legally stay in Korea without a visa, has been increased from the previous 15 days to 30 days.
On March 1, the Ministry of Justice liberalized procedures for foreigners' departures and entrances, in order to increase tourism and enlarge of trade.
Accordingly, tourists from more than 150 countries can stay in Korea without a visa for a month. Visitors from 30 countries, such as certain communist countries, are still not permitted entry into Korea without a valid visa.
The former requirement of a personal reference to obtain a visa for those engaged in research, investment or performance in Korea was also abolished.
