Chinese authorities resume visa issuance and 72/144-hour visa-free transit policy for South Korean nationals

The Chinese authorities will resume the issuance of visas to South Korean nationals and lift the suspension on the 72/144-hour visa-free transit policy for these individuals, effective February 18. This development is expected to enable employers to resume the timely deployment of South Korean nationals to China Mainland for assignment, employment or short-term business purposes.

A Tax Alert prepared by EY's People Advisory Services group, and attached below, provides additional details.
