China's foreign ministry said on its website that it will implement visa-free policies by December 31 next year for ordinary passport holders from South Korea, Slovakia, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Andorra, Monaco and Liechtenstein.
As a result, people with general passports from nine countries, including South Korea, are not required to obtain a visa if they visit China within 15 days for business, travel, tourism, visit relatives or transfer purposes.
Earlier in February 2023, the Chinese government resumed issuing short-term visas to Koreans, which had been suspended due to the spread of COVID-19, and allowed them to stay visa-free for 72 or 144 hours only if they transited in China.
