Korea introduces an electronic visa system, significantly reducing visa issuance time from 2-3 weeks to just 3 days. This initiative, aimed at attracting foreign patients for medical tourism, grants visa issuance rights to certified medical institutions. Designated as excellent medical tourism agencies, these institutions promote their credibility to international patients and show potential to increase patient numbers significantly. The government considers automatically certifying top-tier hospitals and recognized foreign patient inducement agencies as excellent agencies to further enhance the influx of international patients.
