The South Korean Embassy in Manila will resume the issuance of tourist visas from June 1.
The embassy said the application of all types of visa, including tourist (C-3-9), will resume next month. Earlier the issuance of short-term stay visas for sightseeing and tourism purposes was suspended in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic.
“We hope that this resumption of visa processing service will promote people-to-people exchanges between Korea and the Philippines via tourism,” the embassy said.
