South Korean government is introducing a new category of visa for tourists who visit the country for medical purposes. The foreign medical tourist visa, M, is adopted in a bid to boost the nation’s medical tourism industry as local hospitals and medical institutes have strongly requested the government to simplify the visa issuance process. According to the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs, the new visa will be issued from Monday in two forms, C3 (M), a 90-day visa for those with short-term treatment purposes, and G1 (M), a one-year visa for those who need long-term care.Source: www.xihunaet.com; find article here>>.
