China is expected to resume issuing visas to Koreans starting next month.

South Korean ambassador to the Republic of Korea, Chang Ha-sung, said China has decided to issue visas to three groups: international students, workers, and residents with valid residence permits.

This is the first time China has eased visa restrictions against certain countries since the spread of Corona19.

The two countries are negotiating the details of visa issuance, but it is known that it will take effect as early as next month.
