Do I need a visa to go to Korea?

You need a visa to go to Korea. According to the China Consular Service Network, according to the division of South Korean consular regions in China, Korean citizens need to apply for visas at the Consular Section of the Korean Embassy in China or the Consulate General in Shanghai, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Chengdu, Xi 'an, Wuhan and Hong Kong (except those who meet the conditions of visa-free entry permit). Visa types include travel, work, business and visiting relatives. According to the different consular offices, passport and visa types and institutions in the region, the visa application procedures and required materials are also different. Visa belongs to the sovereignty of a country, and holding a valid visa does not mean that you will be able to enter the country smoothly. South Korea is located in the south of the Korean Peninsula in East Asia, surrounded by the sea on three sides, the Yellow Sea in the west, the Korean Strait in the southeast and the Sea of Japan in the east, and is adjacent to North Korea across the demilitarized zone of the 38th parallel. The total area is about 65,438+003,290 square kilometers (accounting for 45% of the Korean peninsula), and Korean is widely used.
