'Hallyu Visa' to Be Unveiled by South Korea for K-Culture Fans

A “WORKCATION VISA,” or a digital nomad visa, has been issued by South Korea as part of a trial run commencing on January 1, 2024. Within days, it came to pass that South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism would roll out a “Hallyu visa,” meant to draw in K-culture fandom across the globe.

A foreigner enrolled in a cultural academy in South Korea may remain there for a maximum of two years with the Hallyu visa, known officially as a “K-culture training visa,” states NEWSTOWN, a Korean media outlet.
