Where can I find current special health-related entry procedures?

Short answer

Use KDCA’s current Q-CODE notices for health declarations; historical COVID-era “special entry procedures” are not a reliable checklist for a new trip. Health reporting is separate from visas, K-ETA and the arrival card.

What to do
  1. Check the designated-area list effective on your arrival date, including recent stays and transit stops.
  2. If your itinerary or symptoms trigger reporting, complete Q-CODE or the accepted health declaration and follow quarantine-officer instructions.
  3. Recheck close to departure, particularly across a quarter change.
Check before relying on this
  • Do not treat “no COVID test requested” as proof that no health declaration applies.
  • A source about 2020–2023 procedures cannot establish present testing or quarantine rules.

More detail

KDCA distinguishes strict quarantine areas and symptom-related reporting for other designated areas. Use the effective-date notice rather than reproducing a country list that may change.
