Dear Exhibitor, 

 

 

We at Cafe Show Seoul are devoted to providing the most safe and successful business platform to you and are looking very much forward to welcome you to the 20th edition of our event in Seoul, Korea this November! 

As a valued member of our exhibition, we want to share with you the good news that the South Korean government has been exempting international travelers from mandatory two-week quarantine since the 1st of July this year. 

 

Today, we want to guide you through on how to submit your application for quarantine exemption in Korea.  

 

▶ Quarantine Exemption Qualifications 

  1. Full Vaccination Recommended: Although it is not required for you to be fully vaccinated before entering Korea, we highly recommend you get all recommended doses of approved vaccines by WHO (World Health Organization) at least two weeks before submitting your quarantine exemption application form, which is due on October 1st.

  2. Quarantine Exemption Application Required: Please review the attached application guide and sample to complete all forms before the deadline. As it takes a long time for government agencies to review and approve the applications, it is critical the forms are received by the requested date. The applications are only accepted in Korean. This means that once you have reviewed and filled in the English version of the application form as attached in this email, the Cafe Show organizer will fill out the application form in Korean based on the information you have provided. The show organizer will send you the Korean application form before the final submission for you to sign. The organizer will then submit the final application form to the relative government body in Korea. The form must be completed by each person planning on traveling to Korea to attend Cafe Show Seoul

  3. Quarantine Exemption Certificate Required: By submitting the exemption application form, this does not mean you will be exempt from 14-day quarantine in Korea. The certificate of quarantine exemption approval will be distributed by the relative embassy of Korea in your home country after reviewing your application form.  ​

  4. PCR Test Required: A total of 3 PCR test is required when entering Korea even after receiving the quarantine exemption. 

    • 1st PCR test required 72 hours before arrival in Korea

    • 2nd PCR test required upon arrival in Korea 

    • 3rd PCR test required after 6th day of stay in Korea (Only applicable to exhibitors staying longer than 8 days in Korea)
