S. Korea, Mongolia agree to streamline visa process
SEOUL, May 31 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and Mongolia signed an agreement Thursday to streamline the visa process for each other's citizens in a bid to boost people-to-people exchanges and economic cooperation between them, officials said.
The agreement was signed after talks between South Korean Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan and his Mongolian counterpart Gombojav Zandanshatar, who arrived in Seoul earlier in the day for a three-day visit.
"The agreement will grant the nationals of the two countries multiple-entry visas valid for a maximum of five years if they meet the required conditions, and exempt them from visa fees," ministry spokesman Cho Byung-jae said.
In additions, South Koreans who are long-term residents of Mongolia will no longer have to obtain an exit visa for a temporary trip out of the country, Cho said.
