MOJ to enforce Re-Entry Permit System and Submission of Diagnosis for Re-Entry of Registered Aliens

Re-entry Permit Required to re-enter ROK after June 1, 2020

Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has stepped up the requirements for re-entry into Korea effective from June 1, 2020, by temporarily suspending the re-entry permit exemption and requiring all long-term stayers seeking re-entry into Korea to submit a written diagnosis, in an effort to curb travel from COVID-19 affected regions abroad and prevent inflow of the new disease from overseas.
