Visa & Entry

South Korean passport holders can enter China visa-free for up to 15 days under China's expanded transit visa exemption policy (renewed through 2025, confirm validity before booking). This applies to tourism, business, and transit purposes at major ports of entry. For stays beyond 15 days, apply for a visa at the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in South Korea. A single-entry L (tourist) visa costs KRW 60,000 (about $45) and takes 4 working days. Express processing (2 days) costs KRW 90,000.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months with two blank pages. For the visa-free entry, you need a return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation. For a visa application, submit the completed form from cova.mfa.gov.cn, a passport photo (48mm x 33mm, white background), flight itinerary, hotel bookings, and bank statements. Group tourist visas are available through authorized Korean travel agencies for organized tours.

Direct flights from Seoul Incheon to Beijing (2 hours), Shanghai (2 hours 15 minutes), and dozens of other Chinese cities run daily on Korean Air, Asiana, Air China, China Eastern, and budget carriers like T'way and Jin Air. China uses the Chinese yuan (CNY), trading at roughly 190 KRW per CNY 1. Cash is nearly obsolete in Chinese cities. Alipay now allows foreign passport holders to link Visa/Mastercard for mobile payments. No mandatory vaccinations. A VPN is needed for Google, KakaoTalk, and most Korean apps inside China.
