South Korea will extend visa processing fee exemptions for an additional six months for group tourists from six countries, including China.
South Korean Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol explained that the exemption of fees for C-3-2 visas, which was originally scheduled to expire on Wednesday, would continue until the end of June next year.
Six countries covered by the extension are China, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Cambodia.
Koo said the plan is aimed at "sustaining the momentum of inbound tourism."
Currently, the processing fee for the C-3-2 visa is set at 18 thousand won (about Rp297 thousand).
According to the South Korean Embassy website, the C-3-2 visa is a type of visa for a tourist group with a minimum of 3 participants through an official travel agency appointed by the Embassy for the purpose of incentive tours, school trips not including university level or general tourist visits.
