Verify the doctor — before you book
Sourced- Official registry
- Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) / Ministry of Health and Welfare — physicians are licensed by MOHW and registered with the Korean Medical Association (KMA) · medicalkorea.or.kr/en/registeredsystem — KHIDI's public register of medical institutions certified to treat foreign patients (confirm your clinic holds a valid registration certificate); no public English per-physician license search — ask the clinic for the surgeon's Korean name, license number and specialty-board registration number, verifiable via KMA/MOHW
- What it shows
- institution registration status for foreign-patient care · mandatory malpractice-liability insurance · (per-doctor) MOHW license and specialty-board certification on request

South Korea for medical travel — safety, recourse & visa
Sourced Full South Korea guide →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.
- Currency
- South Korean Won (KRW, ₩)
- Languages
- Korean; English widely spoken in international-patient centers at major hospitals, with interpreter services in multiple languages
- Traveller safety
- Very safe for visitors
- Legal recourse
- Established malpractice recourse
- Insurance
- Medical-travel & complication cover widely available
- International patients
- Hospitals accustomed to international patients
General guidance from public sources — confirm current rules for your nationality. Verified against: Korea Immigration — K-ETA temporary exemption extended to 31 Dec 2026 (MOFA/KPMG GMS alert) · Korea e-Arrival Card mandatory from 1 Jan 2026 · Medical Korea — medical visa (C-3-3 / G-1-10), KHIDI · MOHW — Korea attracts 1.17 million foreign patients in 2024.
