The foreign ministry has announced the removal of special travel advisories for certain regions in Thailand, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Ethiopia, as localized security and health concerns have diminished. The advisory, which urged citizens to cancel or postpone non-essential trips, has been downgraded from Level 1 to caution for seven provinces bordering Thailand and Cambodia.
These special travel advisories are temporary measures, valid for up to 90 days, issued in response to immediate and short-term risks. The ministry has decided to maintain the advisory for checkpoint areas near Laos and Myanmar, as South Korean nationals may still face job scams and potential forced confinement in the region. Additionally, the advisory for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital, will also be lifted due to the absence of active Ebola cases. Select areas in Azerbaijan will similarly see the restriction removed.
