Foreign Minister meets Ambassador of Republic of Korea

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia Ts.Munkh-Orgil received Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Korea to Mongolia U Sung on April 10 and discussed issues of conditions to grant multiple entry visas for nationals of Mongolia and ROK, the previous visa-free-entrants. Due to the 'I-prechecking' system, which was brought into effect on April 1, 2017, the entrants who were formerly traveling between the countries using the visa exemption rule approved by an agreement between Mongolia and ROK in 2004, now need a visa. The meeting, which was held yesterday touched on this matter of granting multiple entry visas /with a 30-day period and valid for 5 years/ to the entrants who visited South Korea 4 times in the last 2 years or 10 times in total. Also, ensuring the full implementation of an 2012 intergovernmental agreement to facilitate travel of both nationals, the sides at the meeting agreed to cooperate on renewing the conditions of multiple entry visas and making requirements for the applicants easier.
