The Q-Code is a South Korea QR code that holds all your vaccination information needed for entry. The travel requirement was created to help shorten the time for quarantine inspection for foreign travelers entering the country.

Following the decline of COVID-19 and mpox cases, Q-Code registration will no longer be required to enter Korea, effective July 15, 2023. According to the new screening procedures, entrants to Korea will undergo a simple temperature check unless they are coming in from a designated quarantine inspection required area.

Starting from July 15th 2023, South Korea applied the relaxation of Q-Code requirement for travelers entering South Korea. Under the new policy, travelers will not be required to register and present Q-Code or submit health declaration form when passing through the health screening checkpoint at the airport or sea port.
