Change in US-South Korea relations? Latest data: South Korea's B1/B2 visa rejection rate to the US jumps to 24.73% ZH韓美關係生變?最新數據:韓赴美B1/B2簽證 拒簽率躍升至24.73%
Newtalk新聞 南韓民眾申請美國訪客簽證的拒簽率去年大幅攀升,接近每 4 人就有 1 人遭拒。南韓外交部研判,美國國內移民議題日益政治化,可能促使美方收緊簽證審查;相較之下,日本民眾赴美簽證拒簽率同期則略為下降,也引發外界關注美韓關係是否受到影響。 根據南韓外交部提交給執政國民力量黨(PPP)議員金大植的資料,南韓民眾申請美國 B 類簽證(B1 商務簽證及 B2 觀光簽證)的調整後拒簽率,去年升至 24.73%,較前一年的 14.97% 增加 9.76 個百分點。2021 年至 2024 年間,南韓民眾的拒簽率大致維持在 14% 至 18% 之間,去年明顯上升。 針對拒簽率攀升的原因,南韓外交部表示,由於美方未公開詳細拒簽理由,因此難以確切判斷個別案件遭拒的原因。不過,外交部推測,美國國內移民議題已成為高度政治化的爭議焦點,可能導致簽證審查政策趨於嚴格。 相較之下,日本民眾申請美國 B 類簽證的調整後拒簽率,去年為 5.68%,略低於前一年的 5.76%。日本 2021 年至 …
