Key Points

• The government of South Korea will perform COVID-19 post-arrival testing within one day of arrival in the country

Overview

The government of South Korea updated its post-arrival COVID-19 related requirements for all travelers entering the country as of 21 July 2022. Travelers will now be required to complete a PCR COVID-19 test within one day of arrival in the country, a faster period than previously required. The test will need to be performed at the airport upon arrival for short-term travelers and visitors or at a district health office nearest to the traveler's place of residence for long-term visitors. Testing locations in the airport can be found here. Travelers who test positive upon arrival will then be required to undergo a seven-day quarantine period.
