“We hailed the South Korean decision, which would favor the people-to-people exchange and communication between the two countries; contributing to enhancing the two-way tourism, trade and investment cooperation”, Hang said.
According to media reports, the South Korean government will issue multi-entry visas to eligible nationals from some Asian countries, including Vietnam. Highly qualified professionals are considered to be granted 10 year validity visa. The multi-entry visa allows holders to come and go while the document is valid.
