Immigration screwed up my visa last year and instead of writng 2-28-09 they wrote 12-28-09 on both my passport and ARC. I haven't paid attention to any of the new visa requirements because I'm going to leave this summer. Unfortunately they caught their mistake and called me last Thursday.

What kind of health check do I need? Is it just a general checkup? Do I need x-rays? Can the health check be done at any hospital? I live in Bundang so I'd like to avoid going to Seoul if I can. Thanks

It's a standard health check that consists of a blood test. Blood pressure check urine test and X ray. Some hospitals will have you lie on a bed and put all kinds of monitors on your chest and check your heart rate. It's a standard form. Ive even done it at a clinic.

Whatever you do. Don't let your co-teacher or a supervisor tag along and help you. If it shows that anything is irregular or too high even if it is not serious it will became office gossip the next day. Regardless of any promises he or she makes with you.

Can these be done at any hospital or are there certain places that immigration requires the test to be done at?
