Seoul Medical Trip FAQ
Do I need a medical visa for South Korea?
Most nationalities can enter South Korea visa-free for 90 days (EU, US, UK, Australia, Canada and many more). A standard tourist visa is sufficient for medical treatment. If you need a longer stay, a medical visa (C-3-3) is available — your clinic coordinator can provide the required invitation letter.
How do I choose a clinic for my Seoul medical trip?
Look for JCI-accredited hospitals or clinics with board-certified specialists, dedicated international patient coordinators and transparent pricing. Avoid clinics that cannot provide verifiable before-and-after photos or surgeon credentials. Gangnam’s established clinics all have English-speaking staff and experience with international patients.
