Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Boston

Announcement on Self-Quarantine Requirements

The government of the Republic of Korea has strengthened quarantine measures on entrants from overseas in order to detect COVID-19 cases early and to prevent the spread. We ask for your cooperation in complying with the following rules and regulations.

​

All travelers entering the Republic of Korea from overseas are required to abide by the directions of the public health authorities while remaining at the government-designated area. For inquiries, please call the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1339 without area code) or the Immigration Contact Center (1345 without area code).

Any violation of health authority’s orders such as self-quarantine, testing, or treatment for COVID-19, or leaving the designated place of self-quarantine without prior approval will result in revocation of visa and permission of stay, and can lead to deportation and disadvantages in matters of re-entry into the Republic of Korea in the future.
