Can I travel without self-isolation now? The government is discussing in various ways.. The media reports that it might be Singapore, Saipan, or Taiwan.. When will it be possible?
While many people are interested in corona incentives, as of June 1st, there is a 'travel bubble' (non-isolated travel area) where only those who have been vaccinated can start traveling without self-quarantine, such as Singapore. There are reports that guidelines are being discussed.
Currently, Singapore and Saipan are known to be included in the travel bubble target countries, and since April of last month, Australia and New Zealand formed a travel bubble and allowed travel without isolation from each other.
If this happens, the self-quarantine of 10 to 14 days will be eliminated when our country travels to the countries with which it has an agreement, and we will be able to start traveling freely as in the past.
In response, the Korean government announced that it had been reviewing travel since March 2021, and currently travel means allowing free travel between specific countries. explanation that this is possible.
However, the procedure for receiving a negative test upon entry will remain the same. So, Saipan is the most likely target country along with Singapore, and Singapore is currently only allowing entry to certain countries, namely, Australia (excluding some states), Brunei, Hong Kong, mainland China, and New Zealand.
If Korea is added to this, Korean citizens will be able to travel without self-isolation.
In any case, is it true that the current government and officials are in the process of a travel bubble agreement with Singapore? I think it's right to be a little cautious because you said 'a specific country has not been decided yet' to a media question.
Anyway, I hope that life without corona will return soon, where you can freely travel abroad such as Singapore or Saipan without self-quarantine.
