South Korea has extended its visa fee waiver for group tourists until December 31, 2026.

Six countries are included in the visa fee waiver program: the Philippines, China, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

According to the Justice Ministry, the program aims to boost the tourism industry and may also help to recover the local economy.

In 2025, at least 790,00 foreigners visited South Korea using group visas, which is 39% higher than the record last year.
