Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are the most common questions regarding Korean medical visas and dispute remedies.
My C-3-3 medical visa was denied. How can I re-apply?
Immigration officers hold broad discretion. Re-applying with identical documents usually leads to secondary denial. You need a formal legal review of the denial reasons, corrected financial declarations, and an official explanation petition written by an authorized immigration agency like Kim&Hyun.
A patient wants a refund due to plastic surgery results. What is the legal procedure?
First, verify if the duty of explanation (informed consent) was fully satisfied prior to surgery. If there is no negligence, it is usually best to draft a settlement agreement limiting future liability in exchange for partial refund, or undergo K-Medi mediation.
Are SNS advertisements targeted at foreign patients strictly regulated?
Yes, any medical advertisement directed at foreign patients must undergo pre-review under Korean law. Unverified claims of results, guaranteed outcomes, or deceptive photos can result in administrative bans or suspension of licenses.
