After Taiwan and South Korea launched their automatic entry system at the end of June 2018, travelers no longer need to queue up for manual immigration checks, significantly reducing the time spent at customs and improving travel convenience. The negotiation on mutual recognition of international driver's licenses following the reciprocal automatic entry is expected to further promote tourism and cultural exchanges between the two sides.

In the future, traveling to South Korea will not only offer one more way to explore the country, but also allow tourists from both sides to more conveniently immerse themselves in the charm of local culture and customs, as well as discover special tourist spots that even locals might overlook. This will be great news for travel enthusiasts and mark a significant step forward in Taiwan-South Korea friendship.
