Cheapest starting price per city, converted to your currency. ★ = lowest in the registry; cheapest ≠ best — the MPI column grades each market as its data lands. "—" is never guessed.

A typical cost anatomy over the published total, and the factors that move a real quote up or down.

The split is modeled from typical cost structures; the total is the published price. Itemized hospital quotes replace this as they're sourced.

The countable facts of the purchase itself — setting, anesthesia, theatre time, visits and materials. Hospital-published specs replace the typicals as they're collected.

Setting

Outpatient — no hospital admission (typical)

Anesthesia

None for most sessions (typical)

Session length

Not yet sourcedhospital-published — collected per hospital

Visits

Multiple sessions — the course, not one visit, is the treatment

Device / materials

Typicals from the same model as the recovery timeline — your surgeon's plan for your case is the spec that counts. Every sourced spec raises this page's MPI coverage.

What matters if it goes wrong, and what it takes to get there — country-level, verifiable guidance in one place.

Visa

Most Western nationalities (US, UK, EU/Schengen, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan) enter visa-free for short medical or tourist visits. The K-ETA (electronic travel authorization) requirement is temporarily WAIVED for 67 countries and territories through 31 December 2026 — eligible travellers enter without applying for a K-ETA; the requirement is expected to resume 1 January 2027. Confirm your nationality's current rule before travelling.

Medical / long-stay visa

For treatment, foreign patients typically use the C-3-3 medical tourism visa (short-term, stays up to 90 days, generally not extendable beyond 90 days except in special circumstances). For treatment or recovery longer than 90 days, patients change to or apply for the G-1-10 long-term medical treatment visa, which can be extended inside Korea; it requires hospital documentation (medical opinion, treatment schedule, payment records). Applications must be tied to a medical institution registered with KTO/KHIDI.

Arrival

From 1 January 2026, all foreign arrivals must file the mandatory digital e-Arrival Card online (within 3 days before arrival) — it replaces the paper disembarkation card and is a declaration, not a visa. Travellers who hold an approved K-ETA are exempt from the arrival card, but nationals of K-ETA-waived countries (US, UK, EU, Japan, etc.) must still complete the e-Arrival Card.
