They can deny you entry, deny a visa, and deny an ARC if you have HIV.
However, if you already have those things and get HIV after, they can't cancel it or ship you out (of course, they can deny you a new visa/arc.) And if you're working at a school with children, you can have your visa and ARC cancelled because teachers of children can't have any communicable blood disease. So they aren't "shipping you out" but they are just making you follow the law. You can teach adults (if any school would hire you) and working on any other visa is okay (again, only if you had the visa first and then tested positive.)
This changed after a Chinese factory worker came in legal. Tested positive for HIV later. The authorities came to take him away and he fled. He fell from the roof of the factory he was working in and died. Since then the law has changed.
As far as I know, the rules are the same for Hep C and TB as well. But that's pretty much it. I knew a very unlucky guy that came down with chlamydia, hep a, hep b, and e.coli all inside 2 years. Not a word from immigration. |
Exactly, they don't care about urinary tract or stomach infections. People should be more specific when the talk about STDs, because most of them immigration doesn't give a darn about. |

| I don't generally keep my hair in an Afro, or 'fro as you call it, but I hereby rule out that hairstyle. The risk of getting kicked out of Korea because my cool hairstyle got an STD just isn't worth it. |

This is awesome!!! I can't believe we are that bored as teachers during the slow summer months that we started talking about STD's. Except for AIDS, they do not test for STD's like HPV, Herpies, Clamydia, etc.... I have done the health check 4 times now and haven't had to do one. On a side note yes Korean condoms are small and often break. The stereotype about Asian men is there for a reason so if you need some rubbers bring them from home or have someone send them to you.  |
