Indian embassy in South Korea issues travel advisory on Jeju island after influencer alleges detention
The Indian Embassy in Seoul issued an advisory clarifying that Jeju's visa-free entry is only for short-term tourism and does not allow travel to mainland South Korea. The advisory follows influencer Sachin Awasthi's claims that he and his wife were detained and denied entry, facing harsh conditions and limited support. The embassy warned that overstaying or unauthorized travel from Jeju to the mainland is illegal and may result in travel bans or detention.
