Because the proportion of foreigners living in South Korea is far lower than that of Western countries such as Spain and the United Kingdom, which have a population size similar to South Korea. The number of foreigners traveling to South Korea is gradually decreasing. Under this circumstance, in order to cope with the reduction in the labor force caused by low childbirth, the South Korean government decided to further strengthen support for foreign talents in the fields of technology and culture. In order to attract foreign talents in the fields of science, technology and culture, the South Korean Ministry of Justice decided to introduce foreign talents' entry and visas and other residence support systems, and promote an open and inclusive immigration policy. To this end, a new "Korean Pop Visa" will be established to attract talents in the Korean pop field such as K-POP (Korean Pop Music).
Korean pop , its full name should be Korean pop culture .
Korean pop culture has nothing to do with other countries and regions, it should be the business of Koreans . But Korean pop actually does not refer to the superficial meaning, but more often it refers to the influence of Korean pop culture on other countries and regions.
Korean wave is a way to export Korean culture to other countries under the strong support of Korean government . This will drive a series of industrial development and increase the competitiveness of Korean companies around the world.
We can often see that the popularity of a movie or a TV series has led a certain area to become a popular tourist attraction, and even driven the vigorous development of a certain industry.
South Korea's "Korean Wave Visa" was planned to be launched in 2017, but there is no following.
2017 "Korean Wave Visa", holders can visit South Korea at any time within 5 years, and can stay for up to 30 days each time. The issuance of the "Korean Wave Visa" was aimed at attracting more wealthy Chinese classes to travel to South Korea. However, you need to purchase tourism products with a price of 3 million won (about 18,000 yuan) to apply. At the same time, it is not clear whether the 18,000 yuan refers to the group fee for Korean tours, local consumption, or the additional cost of both.
If this condition is to be met at that time, you need to register for high-end Korean routes, including customized tour products, with an average price of around 25,000 yuan. This brand mainly targets wealthy people with a net worth of over 10 million yuan. It is known for arranging to stay in manors, castle hotels, and enjoy Michelin meals. It is an important customer group of "Korean wave visa". However, more ordinary tourists said in an interview that they would not specifically apply for a high-end tour group for the so-called "Korean wave visa", but instead choose a suitable tour group based on their own situation.
At that time, the "Korean wave visa" may not be very attractive to Chinese tourists. Because there are many round trips in South Korea for one year, three years and five years. There is no substantial difference between the "Korean Wave visa" and the five-year round-trip visa. It is nothing more than the simpler application conditions. As long as the consumption amount is enough, you can apply. However, in fact, the conditions for applying for a multiple round-trip visa in South Korea are not very high. Tourists do not need to spend 18,000 yuan to obtain the so-called "Korean Wave visa", which has a limited impact on promoting the rapid growth of the number of tourists to South Korea. So it's left alone.
