Under the scheme, Indonesian tourist groups\nof at least three people can travel visa-free for up to 15 days from 28\nMay until the end of December this year, according to South Korea\u2019s\nMinistry of Justice. The policy follows a February strategic tourism\nmeeting chaired by President Lee Jae Myung, which decided to relax visa\nand entry requirements for foreign tourists. The move is part of efforts\nto boost inbound tourism to South Korea. Local immigration authorities\nstated the temporary visa waiver is expected to help improve the\nnational tourism industry. The government has also implemented measures\nto prevent illegal overstays, including requiring South Korean travel\nagencies to submit tourist lists via a government website 24 hours\nbefore arrival. The Ministry of Justice said these lists will be checked\nto identify high-risk individuals, including those with a history of\nillegal stays or entry restrictions. Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho said\nthe government will collaborate with relevant ministries to ensure the\nprogramme boosts domestic consumption while maintaining order among\nforeign tourists.<\/p>",
