First Time in كوريا for السياحة العلاجية — 2026 Complete A-to-Z Guide

Planning your first كورياn السياحة العلاجية trip? From visa preparation to post-return aftercare, MediQueen guides you through every step. With this guide, there's nothing to fear even if it's your first time.

Step 1: Visa & Entry

For tourism, most nationalities can stay visa-free for 90 days (30 for some countries). For the 2026 Visit Korea Year, 22 countries incl. the US and Vietnam are temporarily exempt from K-ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) until December 31, 2026 — you only submit an e-Arrival Card before entry. K-ETA becomes required again from January 2027, so visiting within 2026 is procedurally simpler (if K-ETA applies to you, apply at least 72 hours before departure). For extended العلاج, apply for a السياحة العلاجية visa (C-3-3 or G-1-10); using a Justice Ministry–designated Excellent Attraction Institution (expanded to 90 in 2025) brings simplified paperwork and e-visa issuance within 3 days. MediQueen assists with your visa documentation. Ensure your passport is valid for 6+ months.

Step 2: Airport to Hotel

Use MediQueen's VIP pickup service for a private car from إنتشون Airport to your غانغنام accommodation (50–70 minutes). SIM cards and pocket WiFi are available at the arrivals level.

Step 3: First Consultation

Even before you travel, send photos and records and MediQueen provides a free remote pre-consultation with a preliminary plan and cost estimate, minimizing your stay. On-site, visit the العيادة the day before or morning of العلاج for specialist الاستشارة. A MediQueen coordinator accompanies you with real-time interpretation (English, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Vietnamese), and Muslim patients can request cultural/religious accommodations in advance such as halal meals and female medical staff. Thoroughly discuss الإجراء details, expected results, التعافي, and precautions.

Step 4: العلاج Day

Arrive 30 minutes early for cleansing and numbing cream. العلاج takes 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on type. Rest at the العيادة for 30–60 minutes post-العلاج. فاخر العيادةs with VIP lounges offer private التعافي rooms.

Step 5: التعافي

For غير جراحي العلاجs, return to normal activities within same day to 3 days. Contact your coordinator 24/7 via the MediQueen app; immediate العيادة connection if any concerns arise.

Step 6: Follow-up & Return

Get a follow-up check before departure and receive العلاج records and aftercare guides. MediQueen provides free remote الاستشارةs for 6 months post-return.

Packing Checklist

✓ Passport (6+ months validity) ✓ K-ETA confirmation ✓ Medical records in English (if applicable) ✓ Current medication list ✓ Comfortable clothes (considering swelling) ✓ Sunglasses & mask ✓ Travel insurance

Payment Info

كورياn العيادةs accept all major دولي cards (Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, JCB, AMEX). Note: as of January 2026, the 10% VAT refund for foreign cosmetic/plastic surgery has ended, so your quoted price closely reflects the final amount. Card availability may be limited for some countries due to sanctions, and MediQueen advises on payment in advance.
