I remember paying ~90K my first time around, but I've read that some of the smaller clinics will do it for as low as 35K. Can anyone give directions and/or a phone # to any one of these places? I'm located near Express Bus Terminal (Gangnam); the closer the better.

If I can hijack this, if anyone knows of a place that will do the health check on Saturdays, that would be great.

I can't be the only person who is looking for this information...

I did my most recent one at a place near Seolleung, but it wasn't that cheap, about 80k. If you want a futuristic 2001 pod experience, however... that's the place to go. Forget the name right now, sheit.

You have to be careful though. They (public schools) won't accept checks from small clinics. They have to be from approved hospitals.

If you already have an ARC you can go to your local "-Gu's office" and have a health check that is accepted by immigration (I've done it twice now) for 1,500...yep, $1.50 (or whatever the exact exchange rate is).

I'll just second using the local Gu heallth office. For 1,500won they'll do x-ray, blood, urine and stool. Way cheaper and less busy than a big hospital.

Alright, well since no one else was able to help my gf found a good place, cost 60k and was very close to the subway.

Directions:

Gaya Seungmo Clinic / 가야성모의원

Naebang (Line 7) Exit 6 - walk straight and you will find HSBC on your left. A few buildings later on the 4th floor you will see the clinic (to your left).

...not unless your extending a visa/switching a job, in which case you might have to go to the hospital and pay $45-$100(?).
Forgot to mention that, sorry dude.
