The one at Seoul National University Hospital was 90,000 won in March, which included cannibis test, dropped to 70,000 won after immigration took that regulation out. Then it went back up to 90,000 because they said they were making the test more comprehensive (even though not required by immigration) and I just sent a teacher to get one last week, and it was 105,000. Not sure why it went up this time. I should call and ask. But, our company pays for the test, so it doesn't effect the teachers.

I have heard that some are getting the test for as low as 50,000 won.

The only benefit at SNU is that the nurses who take you through the test speak English very well.

55,000 at CHA in Bundang. My co-teacher thought it was expensive, and I laughed and told him that some people pay up to 100,000 or more and he gasped.

Does anyone have a list of all the government required tests? I just want to know what I can legally refuse, if they ask me to do something strange/irrelevant.

16,000 won at the local government clinic.

I paid 53,500 @ Suwon for the drug, hiv, and etc etc tests.

I understand why don't want us to get it done in the States, but it'd be so much easier and cheaper ... especially if you have health insurance or a tapestry.

What all do they test for? I'd hate to show up and find out I can't stay because of asthma or cooties or something.

My school paid for mine, but I think it came to about 80,000.

I paid 65,000 Won to have it done at the hospital close to the Coex Mall in Seoul (I can't remember the name of the hospital now). That was in July, so it might have changed.
