TOKYO, Jan 10 (Reuters) - China has told travel agencies that it has stopped issuing new visas in Japan for travel to China, Kyodo news agency said, quoting multiple sources in the travel industry.
The move came soon after Japan toughened rules regarding travellers from China, requiring all of those coming directly from the country to have a negative PCR test for coronavirus within 72 hours of departure as well as a negative test on arrival in Japan.
China's embassy in Seoul said earlier on Tuesday it had stopped issuing short-term visas for visitors from South Korea. (Reporting by Kantaro Komiya, Writing by Elaine Lies; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)
