Visa and entry to Seoul, Korea for surgery

Entry rules depend on your nationality. Many visitors can enter visa-free or with a K-ETA travel authorization, while others need a visa; Korea also issues a medical tourism visa (C-3-3) for treatment. Always check the official sites before booking, and ask Grand if you need a letter confirming your appointment.

Check official sources

Documents Grand can provide

  • Appointment confirmation letter
  • Treatment plan summary for medical visa applications
  • Medical records and receipts after treatment

Travel insurance

Standard travel insurance often excludes elective surgery. Look for a policy that covers complications of cosmetic surgery abroad if available.

Frequently asked questions

How long can I stay without a visa?
