The Asian country of South Korea has announced that it will remove the quarantine requirement for fully vaccinated travellers in April 2022.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety has announced that starting 1st April 2022, fully vaccinated international travellers arriving in South Korea will not have to undergo the mandatory quarantine. This applies to those who have received two vaccine doses at least 14 days prior to arrival, but no more than 180 days ago. In addition, travellers who do not meet this criteria but have had a booster jab will also be exempt from quarantine.
