Another question from my friend:

'could his meds cause him to fail the medical test in Korea for the E2 visa? The itaewon clinic has told him 'no' but he would like further / second opinions.'

He's now curious if the meds would be considered "recreational" or would raise any other red flags.

I know nothing about the E-2 process as the last time I had one was in 2004, so if anyone (Hokie?) has any insight to put his mind at ease, it would be appreciated.

Seroquel will def not show up on a drug test. I don't think he'll have an issue with Klonopin either. He's got a prescription though so if he wants to play it safe and brings his prescription and note then he'll be fine. He probably won't even need that but better safe than sorry. They prescribe a lot of benzo's for sleep in Korea.

Cool. Seems you've covered the bases (unless anyone else has anything to add - maybe Steelrails could pipe in with his two cents Smile

(sorry, SR - I noticed you've been the resident whipping-boy for some here lately)
