So I have been told by my new school that the medical check I got at the International Clinic in Haebangchon is not valid. So annoyed as the staff at International Clinic said it would be okay for immigration.

So does anyone know of a website or anything where you can find out the approved list of medical clinics for getting your medical check???

I know that the Seoul Medical Center off Samgseong stop on the #2 does it and it's accepted by immigration. This is according to the ETIS website. It's about a three minute walk. You can go to the bus site at http://bus.congnamul.com/SeoulRouteWebApp/view_english/map.jsp and zoom in to where the station is (rather east, south of the river) and the hospital should be there. I think Dongbu does too but I went there last week and they failed to do all the required drug tests so I have to go back.

According to the regulations, the health check must be done at a government hospital (국공립병원, gukgongnimbyeongwon), public health center (보건소, bogeonso), or general hospital (종합 병원, jonghap byeongwon).

How much does it cost and how long to get results back??

Well I can now answer my own questions!!
It cost 74,000 and I'll get the results back on Friday afternoon so 3 working days.
I went to the National Medical Center exit 13 of Dongdaemun stadium station.
Had ear exam, teeth check, height and weight taken, color vision and vision test, blood pressure, doctor consultation, then chest xray and finally urine sample test and blood sample, phew!!!

Korea is pretty backwards in a lot of ways, don't you think, Homer?
