2022. Sept. 3 Update
All overseas arrivals must be tested for COVID-19 via a PCR within 24 hours of entry. You must register the results within the 'Q-code' system.
- For international travelers, there are three viable locations to prebook the on-arrival PCR test: at Incheon International Airport, at Gimpo Airport or at Jeju International Airport. Due to the possibility of delays, it may be best to book the PCR at the final destination (Jeju International Airport) which also happens to be the cheapest option. Details about booking a test at Incheon or Jeju Airport can be found below.
- From September 3, 2022, PCR test requirements before entry will be abolished.
However, within one day after entry, the required PCR test can be done at airport inspection stations, residential health centers, and screening clinics.
- For long-term stays, free tests are available at public health centers, etc., but for short-term stays, Incheon or Jeju Airport is recommended and an inspection fee will be charged.
