Do Koreans (with Korean nationality) need a visa to travel abroad?

Koreans (with Korean nationality) travel abroad, depending on where you go. If you go to a visa-free country or region, you don't need a visa, but other visas are necessary.

Let's look at the visa:

concept

Visa refers to the procedure of endorsement and seal of passports or other travel documents held by domestic or foreign citizens by the sovereign organs of a country to show that they are allowed to enter, exit or transit. It can also be said that it is an endorsement certificate issued to them. Generally speaking, a visa is a document issued by a country's entry-exit administration (such as immigration bureau or its embassy or consulate abroad) to approve the entry of foreign citizens.

function

Visa is a measure taken by a sovereign country to safeguard its sovereignty, dignity, security and interests. Visa is an important means for a sovereign country to implement entry and exit management. Citizens of a country who want to travel, settle down, do business and study in other countries must have valid passports or travel documents, and another condition is to obtain visas to other countries. Under normal circumstances, a country issues visas to foreigners on the principle of equality and reciprocity between foreign countries and their nationals, and provides the same preferential treatment and convenience for the nationals of the two countries to interact with each other. However, there are also visa-free countries, such as 18 visa-free countries with China passports and 130 visa-free countries with American passports.

Generally speaking, foreigners are granted different entry visas according to the identity of the applicant and the purpose of entry, such as visas for traveling, visiting relatives, emigrating, studying abroad and working, and the residence time after entry is limited. Due to the different types of visas, the relevant materials needed are also different. Generally, short-term residence applications have fewer restrictions and shorter waiting time for approval. For the purpose of long-term residence, the application is more restricted and the waiting time is longer. A country has no obligation to allow foreigners to enter the country unconditionally (unless there is a treaty), and a foreigner has no right to ask a government to allow him to enter the country. A sovereign country always has restrictions on the entry of foreigners. With the development of international trade, international political relations and the prosperity of tourism, visa regulations in many countries tend to be simplified. There are also agreements between countries to exempt visas or simplify visa procedures.

The entry visa only allows the holder to enter the country, and if he needs to leave the country, he must apply for an exit visa again. Holders of entry-exit visas can leave or re-enter the country. Holders of multiple entry and exit visas can be allowed to enter and leave the country within the validity period of the visa.

It usually takes a long time to apply for a long-term visa, regardless of the purpose of the visit. A visa that stays in the destination country for no more than 3 months is called a short-term visa, and it takes a relatively short time to apply for a short-term visa.
