China suspends short-term visas for South Koreans over Covid travel curbs

SEOUL: China has suspended the issuing of short-term visas to South Koreans in response to Seoul's imposition of travel restrictions on Chinese travelers over Covid concerns, Beijing's embassy said Tuesday.

'Chinese embassies and consulates in Korea will suspend the issuance of short-term visas for Korean citizens,' the embassy in Seoul said, adding the measures would be 'adjusted again in line with South Korea's removal of the discriminatory entry restrictions on China.'
