Malaysians do not need a visa just to visit Korea for up to three months at a time, but if they are planning to do any work in which they would earn money, then the situation is quite different. It’s also important to keep in mind that we’re talking about South Korea here, (or the Republic of South Korea), and not North Korea.

Korea signed agreements with tons of nations around the globe regarding visas. Some of these agreements waive the visa requirement entirely for a specified period of time. Others waive the fees associated with obtaining valid entrance paperwork for visitors from certain nations.

While visitors may still need to present their ID, including a travel visa, they will not need to pay additional fees or get any Korean-specific visa paperwork before being allowed to travel as a visitor or for business purposes, though getting a job in the country and earning income while there is a different story, even for those who fall under these agreements.

Business travelers are usually meeting with clients or going to a corporate office or branch location of an already established business, in other words. 

Malaysia is among the nations with which Korea has signed an agreement that waives the visa requirements for visiting the country, but only as long as they are just visiting, and don’t plan on working and earning income while in Korea.

Every nation with which Korea has a standing visa agreement has its own requirements and regulations. Tourist and business stays can only last for a specific period of time before other requirements will kick in.

For this reason, it is important to thoroughly investigate the requirements before heading to the nation for a vacation, business trip, a visit with family, or to look for work.

Whether you need a visa to visit Korea is dependent on a number of elements, including your nationality, the reason for your visit, how long you plan to stay, as well as any several other criteria.

If you are a Malaysian, however, and will be just visiting Korea and not working there, then you can gain entrance to the country without a visa.

Hey Dylan, are you looking for advice about moving to or living in Korea? Please ask that as a new question because I'd love to learn more about it!

I visited Korea on holiday a few years ago, and it's always been my ambition to go back there for a year ot two
