The new regulation for inbound travelers went into effect on September 3.
However, all travellers are still subject to an on-arrival PCR test within one day of arrival and required to upload the results on the Q-code website or notify local medical centres.
Earlier, all passengers entering the RoK had to present certificates showing they were negative for COVID-19 (in English or Korean) valid within 48 hours for PCR testing and within 24 hours for rapid testing from the date of departure.
