Japan and South Korea will resume business travel between the countries starting from October 8, following the closure of borders due to Covid-19.
Under the agreement, business travellers on short-term business trips will not be required to observe 14-day self-isolation periods if they test negative for Covid-19 and submit travel itineraries, among other measures.
This agreement to resume business travel follows a similar deal reached with Singapore in August. South Korea is the second country that Japan has reopened its borders for both short- and long-term stays.
