The global desire to learn more about the East Asian nation has developed in the burgeoning Hallyu world, as the followers of K-pop and K-dramas prefer to call it. The success of K-pop groups like BTS and K-dramas like Squid Game has compelled the government to consider new strategies for boosting both the nation's economy and tourism.
South Korea is one of the top destinations on any traveler's wish list. Korean food has become more well-known as a result of all the K-dramas, which have also helped to popularize K-music. In 2024, the South Korean government plans to introduce two new visas to meet the demands of the K-obsessed generation of today.
Here's Everything You Need to Know About.
1. Digital Nomad Visa
With the help of this visa, you may realize your ambition of living and working remotely in South Korea for two years, fully embracing the "workcation culture."
2. K-culture Training Visa
This visa is designed specifically for those who identify as real BTS fans or who have a deep passion for the Korean entertainment industry. As part of the "K Culture Events" category, this plan also includes hosting several music festivals that highlight the unique tastes and aesthetics of the region.
The reform of South Korea's tourist infrastructure is just getting started with these new regulations designed to handle the increasing number of visitors to the nation.
The specifics of the visa have not yet been made public. Nonetheless, it should start operating in the second half of 2024.
A fantastic start to the year with wonderful news. How happy are you that you have these visas? Tell me in the space provided for comments.
