Confirm the correct entry route with the Korean consulate for your nationality, treatment purpose and planned stay before booking travel.
Identify the route
- Medical Korea describes C-3-3 for short stays of up to 90 days and G-1-10 for longer treatment or recuperation.
- These descriptions do not establish your eligibility. Confirm the applicable route and permitted stay with the consulate.
Prepare the application
- Ask for the current document checklist for you and any accompanying family member.
- Request the appointment or treatment documents the consulate requires from the clinic. A clinic letter does not guarantee a visa.
Check the timing
- Distinguish the visa's validity from the period you may stay after entry.
- If recovery may change your departure, ask immigration about the required process before your permitted stay ends.
